People have always tried to find their belonging in the society. For some people being deviant or rebellious is their own belief in "fitting into society". They want to break apart from the dominant culture and not follow the rules. Being deviant means differing from a norm or from the accepted standards of a society. They shape themselves to obtain different from of norms, especially a person whose behavior and attitudes differ from accepted social standards.
I considered myself to be deviant all throughout my high school years. I would only scan for attendance or sometimes not even go at all. My and my so called "friends" would stay over someones home and just try to "party" all the time. This almost resulted in me not graduating on time, but I managed to talk to my teachers and councilors and come up with a solution for me, so I could graduate with my peers.Almost not graduating with my peers scared me because I didn't want to get left behind. This kind of fast paced life style and all the things that came with it fascinated us. We wanted to live the lifestyle that many celebrities live and pride themselves for. Since I am very outgoing I still try to attend as many events and parties as I can, but with moderation. I take school as my priority and my deviant acts and weekend pleasures are secondary to that. I think it all comes down to realizing the consequences and deliberating on your own personal decision and actions.
I remember my high school years was like that for me also. I was rebellious my junior years of high school because it was boring. I messed up that year it wasn't until I was told that I was short credits and that I would not graduate on time so i buckled down and realized being deviant gets you no where when your education is on the line it is either you obtain it or you lose out on it. So with that said I agree with you their is a time and place for deviant/deviance.
