An older character, who is seen as stodgy, virtuous, or law-abiding. We eventually learn that, in their youth, they were rather less so. When the older character is a mentor figure to the protagonist, The Reveal that they fit this trope can sometimes be part of the process of turning them into a Cool Old Guy. It's also related to Mysterious Past, though there doesn't have to be any mystery involved. Rule-Abiding Rebel or Bourgeois Bohemian can be the result if the character tries to have it both ways. This can lead to a case of Generation Xerox if the former rebel now has rebel kids of their own. Overcompensating for their rebellious past by being stern with their kids may increase the likelihood of their kids turning out just like them while increasing the children's shock when they find out what Mom and/or Dad were like at their age. People who were rebellious in their youth — especially if their actions included a strong sexual element — are said to have been "sowing their wild oats." (This is also said in the present tense of older philanderers.) The etymology of the phrase is explained here. "Sowing one's wild oats" is often a great understatement of reality. On a few rare occasions, a former teen rebel was actually a closet rebel who was Living a Double Life. An extreme example might be The Fundamentalist kid you knew in high school and/or college, the one who always complained about all the other believers who didn't live exactly by their strict interpretation of As the Good Book Says.... Then — sometimes decades later — the truth comes out. That obnoxious bible-thumper had actually gone through high school and/or college regularly cheating, lying, stealing and/or screwing anything that moves. Of course, such people don't exist in a vacuum. Somebody — a cohort or an adversary — knew the truth all along, but their warnings usually went unheeded. The Reveal allows this person to say "I Knew It!" or "I Warned You" to all the doubters. Definitely Truth in Television. Contrast with Used to Be a Sweet Kid where a villainous or otherwise unpleasant character is shown to be much nicer and polite as a child. Compare Parental Hypocrisy. Teens Are Monsters is often a strong factor of why the character used to be a teen rebel, which can lead to a Teenage Wasteland. Subtrope of Teen Rebellion. See also Retired Outlaw. |

Sleepless Domain: Harley, despite still being a teenager, is the most down-to-earth member of the training club, and more often then not ends up as the Straight Man to her partner Bud's antics. However, she mentions that she swore off getting into fights after she became a magical girl, hinting that she went through some sort of rebellious phase in the past. | |

Dragon Age: Wynne in Dragon Age: Origins has got a milder variation, she tells stories of a time when she was significantly more hot-headed and rebellious than she is today. As her DLC reveals Leliana had very little in the way of morals: theft (from the church no less,) seduction, murder, humiliating people, her mentor did a number on her all right. Far from the sweet and pious girl in the main game. Dragon Age II has Sebastian, who drank and whored so much in his teen years that his family forced him into a monastery, where he found religion. Dragon Age: Inquisition has Solas, a professorial mage who alludes to being far more Hot-Blooded and fight-happy in his youth. In the most extreme case thus far, he turns out to be Fen'Harel / the Dread Wolf, an ancient eleven rebel now remembered as a trickster god. Moreover, while he's less hot-tempered, his actual plans haven't mellowed out at all. |

The Hobbit: According to Gandalf, Bilbo used to go adventuring in the woods in search of elves as a youth, whereas the now-middle aged and stodgily respectable Bilbo balks at the mere mention of a possible adventure that'll make him late for breakfast. Although it turns out there's still enough of Bilbo's former adventuring self within him to get him to accept an adventure with dwarves after all. | |

Still Life with Crows by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Winifred Kraus is a matronly old maid who was a terribly rebellious teenager who got pregnant out of wedlock. Her overprotective father forced her to give birth to the child in secret and hid him in the caves. When her father passed away, she became just as overprotective and kept the boy there his entire life so she could "protect" him from the outside world. | |

The Simpsons: Principal Seymour Skinner aka Armin Tamzarian was an orphaned, purse-snatching biker in his youth, who actually assumed somebody else's identity as part of getting over his rebellion. Accidentally. He honestly intended to tell Mrs. Skinner that her real son was believed to have died in The Vietnam War — but she thought he was her son when he showed up at her door, and he just didn't have the heart to tell her otherwise. Fans hated this episode due to how crazily most of the cast was out of character in order to make the plotline work, but Lisa actually uses the plot as a threat against him in the episode "I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot" years later. It wasn't retconned until "Boy Meets Curl" over 12 years later, which showed a flashback of Mrs. Skinner pregnant with Seymour. | |

Naruto: Asuma Sarutobi, whose past was expanded on in the anime, had a falling out with his father Hiruzen, the third Hokage, when he was a young adult and joined the Guardian Ninjas, bodyguards to the daimyo of the Land of Fire. Iruka Umino used to, like Naruto, be a prankster as a means of coping with his parents' death, making him strict but sympathetic with Naruto (he makes Naruto clean up his graffiti on the Hokage faces, but after Naruto points out he has no one to go home to, he offers to buy him ramen). Naruto himself becomes this in the Distant Finale and Boruto. Long gone is the annoying, loud prankster. Now Naruto is the Seventh Hokage and a happy family man, now dealing with his own somewhat rebellious son, Boruto. That isn't to say he still isn't a knucklehead but he isn't the Idiot Hero he used to be. As an adult, Sasuke is not the angry and rebellious boy he was throughout most of Naruto. He's calmed down considerably. |

Koneko is revealed to have been like this in Nyan~ Neko Sugar Girls. She's currently a soft-spoken Nice Girl who wears a conservative style. In college, she wore heavy makeup, a midriff-baring shirt, shorts, and is shown popping bubble gum like the delinquent stereotype goes. Apparently she received a breast reduction as well, because she no longer has huge boobs. | |

Jupiter-Men: Arrio is still a teenager, but dialogue indicates that he has a checkered past, so much so that a teacher at his school filed a restraining order against him in his sophomore year. Said teacher, Mr. Khan, panics when he sees Arrio despite Arrio's insistence that he's changed and that he's squeaky clean now. Episode 26 specifies that Arrio used to run in a gang years ago. He clearly knows his way around a scrap, easily dodging a punch from Chang before giving him a black eye. | |

Metroid: Other M seems to show that Samus Aran might have been one of these. The Behind The Scenes trailer shows her former CO, Adam Malkovich, giving out orders, and while everyone else gives the thumbs up, she gives the thumbs down. Seen here at 07:56 The reason behind Samus' thumbs down was she was always at odds with Adam when she was under his command, but over time, her thumbs down became a sign of trust and understanding between the two of them. Towards the end of the game after Adam's death, Samus gives a thumbs up in Adam's honor. |

Harry Potter: The Marauders (save for Peter Pettigrew, who was less a rebel than he was a hanger-on). In their school days, they were some of Hogwarts' most notorious pranksters and illegally became underage Animagi to keep Lupin company during his werewolf transformations. That's without mentioning Sirius and James' years-long feud with Snape. James settled down and got married to Lily, while Lupin became the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, albeit temporarily. And Sirius Black, despite his incarceration and Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Peter... well, two out of four ain't bad. In Goblet of Fire, Molly Weasley recounts her Hogwarts days and describes a time when she and her future husband snuck out after curfew to have a nighttime stroll. Her son Bill is quite surprised and impressed. The epilogue of Deathly Hallows has Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny be this. After spending the books (most notably most of that same book) as resistance fighters against Voldemort, we see that they all married, got jobs (most of which were for the Ministry of Magic), and had several kids. Word of God details this happening for a good many other characters, including Neville (he becomes a Hogwarts professor who marries Hannah Abbott, who herself becomes the landlady of the Leaky Cauldron) and Luna (she becomes the wizarding equivalent of a naturalist, along with marrying another naturalist and having two sons). |

Assassination Classroom: Yukiko Kanzaki is a variation in that she still is a teenager, but has gotten over a rebellious phase. Her parents were incredibly strict, expecting nothing short of perfection from her, so in order to rebel against them and let off pressure, she ended up visiting arcades and dressing more provocatively. This caused her grades to slip so strongly that she ended up falling to Class 3-E. | |

The Dresden Files Charity Carpenter used to be quite the rebel, running away from home when her magic developed and getting involved with a number of bad crowds, ultimately joining a cult whose leader was sacrificing its members to a dragon. When Charity was saved from the dragon by Michael Carpenter, she settled down as a good Catholic and Housewife and gave up her magic. Some of the other skills she picked up during her rebellion (notably fighting, metalworking, and vehicle repair) are still used to aid her husband and defend her family. Anastasia Luccio, Captain of the Wardens and one of the most competent combat mages alive, apparently spent significant portions of her youth working as a nude model and exotic dancer, occasionally locking professional and romantic horns with Lara Raith. In one of the short stories, she finds her deeply apologetic boyfriend in the middle of what looks like a Destructo-Nookie orgy, and while he stammeringly tries to explain that it's Not What It Looks Like, she just rolls her eyes and says she's done worse. Note, done, not seen. |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Gendo Ikari was something of a delinquent in college before Fuyutuski was more or less forced to take him on as a kind of apprentice. Unusually, though he became very successful, in most ways he is even worse than he was before. Fuyutsuki had a partial role reversal in that he's now his Number Two instead of being his teacher, but still plays the beleaguered mentor trying to restrain Gendo's actions. | |

His experiences with drugs, especially one really bad trip that almost got him killed, has made him desperate to make sure his son never experiments with drugs himself, much to Chad's confusion since he's never even considered it, being far more preoccupied with girls. | |

His father Thomas sent him to Father Joseph McCabe to straighten him out. In order to pay back the money that he stole, Westphall began working as a shoeshine boy at the hospital. This eventually led him to study medicine and return to St. Eligius as a doctor, becoming Director of Medicine in 1975. | |

My Monster Secret: The main characters' homeroom teacher Akari Koumoto used to be the legendary delinquent known as "Akari of the Hundred Visits". Nowadays her anger mostly shows up in reference to her Trollish multi-great-grandmother Akane, who loves rubbing Akari's singleness in her face, and an enraged Akari is said to be more terrifying than Godzilla. Akari herself treats her past as Old Shame, mostly since those "hundred visits" were her unsuccessful attempts at getting a boyfriend and flipping out when she failed. However, the story has a happy ending, since her past allowed Akari to connect with her student Sakurada and reform him into one of these, which lead to their becoming a couple later on in the manga's run. | |

Disney would recycle the concept again with Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure. In the first film, the Tramp was a stray dog who railed against the domesticated life, and spent his time doing things like chasing chickens and helping other stray dogs escape from the dog catcher; this naturally changed when he met Lady, so the second film has their son Scamp growing tired of the domesticated life and wanting to be a stray, totally ignorant to the fact that his father was once one. | |

Wynne in Dragon Age: Origins has got a milder variation, she tells stories of a time when she was significantly more hot-headed and rebellious than she is today. As her DLC reveals Leliana had very little in the way of morals: theft (from the church no less,) seduction, murder, humiliating people, her mentor did a number on her all right. Far from the sweet and pious girl in the main game. | |

Terry McGinnis from Batman Beyond. His reputation as such is a big reason as to why he puts on the suit, and often comes back to bite him on the ass. As a teen, he was caught breaking and entering as part of a gang initiation. The way he describes it, he followed his best friend into the building and directly into the cops' hands. He also got into a lot of fights but said flat out that most of what he did before the arrest was penny-ante stuff. | |

In the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe: Toph in Avatar: The Last Airbender is The Runaway and a Con Artist. Toph in the Sequel Series The Legend of Korra is remembered for founding Republic City's Metalbending Police Force. Toph's youngest daughter Suyin hung out with gangsters and was almost arrested for being a Getaway Driver. Now she's the motherly matriarch of Zaofu, although she still maintains a bit of her carefree attitude from her teen years. |

Starlight Is For Always does this for most of the rebellious 1980s rock group The Misfits: Pizzazz became a born-again Christian and runs a conservative organization, Roxy went back to school and became a therapist, and Stormer's mildly rebellious attitude just went away after she had a baby. The sole exception is Jetta, who got into trouble with the law for fraud. | |

Juken Sentai Gekiranger has an example in team mentor Miki Misaki to the point that she is still remembered and feared by the current batch of teen rebels. She's also capable of kicking more ass now than she was back then thanks to studying Geki-Ju-Leopard-ken (Fierce Beast Leopard-Fist) in the intervening period. | |

Star Trek Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation was a delinquent and skirt-chaser at the Academy, culminating in a bar fight with a group of Proud Warrior Race Guys in which he got stabbed in the heart. After that, he became rather more focused and regretted his wild years, but when Q gives him the chance to return to the past and relive them in "Tapestry", Picard discovers that they were necessary to make him the man he became. Oddly inverted with Captain James Kirk from Star Trek: The Original Series, who is...well, The Kirk in the present day but had a reputation for being a swot at the academy. In Star Trek (2009), Kirk plays this straight, largely on account of not having a father growing up. He changes when he decides to follow in his father's footsteps. Though he certainly manages to hold on to part of his rebellious attitude. Star Trek: Voyager: Chakotay is shown in "Tattoo" as a petulant youth who rejects his father's attempts to instruct him in The Ways Of His People because he'd rather run off and join Starfleet. Tuvok was this as well, in multiple forms. As a young teenager, he fell in love with an alien girl and rejected Vulcan philosophy in order to pursue her, only to end up being rejected. Following this, he spent several months re-learning Vulcan logic from a master and became fully, deeply committed to the concept, but he swung so far to the opposite extreme that this became a new point of contention with his parents: he wanted to remain on Vulcan and continue those studies, but his parents wanted him to go to Starfleet Academy instead. He eventually acquiesced to them and joined Starfleet, but he continued to resent it and ultimately resigned from the service after his first mission. It was only after having children of his own that Tuvok finally found balance between the two, leading to his decision to give Starfleet another try. Vulcans generally have a very strong tendency for this. Their philosophy of cold logic and detachment from emotion is their way to compensate for and restrain their violent and confrontational nature. |

Ki's father in General Protection Fault, didn't go nearly as far as some examples, but he, a Japanese man, committed the cultural taboo of marrying a Chinese woman. As he aged, he became more traditional, and after some unpleasant experiences with Ki's former fiance Sam, he becomes adamantly opposed to her marrying Nick. | |

Remnant's Bizarre Adventure: Jotaro Kujo, a stoic but feared huntsman from the Frontier, was originally pressured by the expectations and attention he received as a member of the Joestar family. Eventually, it let him snap and nearly beat a man half to death during a Stand spar. He embraced delinquent attitudes such as beating up people for annoying him or stiff restaurants with poor food with the bill, all so he can finally be left alone. Eventually, both his mother and his grandfather, Joseph Joestar were able to get through to him, enough to make him the Byronic Hero he was during the crusade against Dio. He tells Blake that there was no single moment that made the change for him. It was a matter of change and time that made him the man he is today. | |

In Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Nia is a foul mouthed, hot headed and short tempered young girl that started the game as a member of the terrorist organisation Torna before cutting ties and joining the party. Throughout the game she frequently butts heads with authority figures and is often the most eager to fight. In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, she's somehow become the Queen of Agnus, and though she tries to keep up appearances as the noble and refined persona befitting of royalty, she often fails it's clear that she's still the same girl she used to be. At the very least, she's more mature and acts as a Reasonable Authority Figure to the younger generation. | |

Back to the Future: Marty's mother, Lorraine Baines McFly in Part I. We don't see much of her in the present, but when he goes back to the 1950's Marty is definitely shocked to see her smoking and drinking. She also flirts with Marty and wants to park with him, despite her assertion thirty years later that girls shouldn't chase boys and her insistence that she never did that kind of thing with a boy. There's also Biff Tannen. Subverted at first with him being exactly the same as an adult in the '80s as he was in the '50s as a teenager. However, after Marty changes the past, he plays this straight in the new timeline. Additionally, an original draft for Part II had George and Lorraine as members of the hippie counter-culture of the 1960's. |

Alan Eppes from NUMB3RS used to be a member of a radical anti-war student group in the 1960's, which causes friction when his son Don ends up investigating a bombing that ends up linked to the group. The culprit is the son of another ex-member, who turned more conservative after the war ended. | |

Hetalia: Axis Powers: England was a pirate in his youth but now considers himself to be a gentleman (though he still curses like a sailor). And everyone knows that...something happened during the '70s and England went through a punk phase. It's not really mentioned too much. Denmark, Norway, and Sweden during their Viking phase; while Denmark remains quite boisterous, Sweden is mentioned to have calmed down considerably since those days, putting his energy into more domestic matters. Hungary used to be a part of a group of nomadic warriors and spent her childhood fighting various invaders. Upon learning she's actually female, she decides it's time to be a "frickin' lady" and ends up being a maid at Austria's house, and later becomes his wife. She still retains much of her Hot-Blooded personality, though. |

A Clockwork Orange: This is the source of the friction between Alex and his droogs, as they, especially Georgie and Dim, are getting tired of their lives of meaningless, sadistic violence and sex, and wants to move on to making actual money, while Alex is still in love with his carnage so to speak. When Alex is released from prison, he's beaten by two police officers who turn out to be none other than Georgie and Dim. This is even more prevalent in the original novel, which includes a scene where Alex meets his fourth former gang member, Pete, as a married man with a family, which leads Alex to contemplate doing the same himself, as violence is losing its thrill for him as well. | |

In the memoir Heroin Story David (a former NYC Club Kid) pretends to be this for most of the book. He acts as if his drug-using, party-throwing days are over... all while secretly continuing to use heroin. Of course, his heroin use isn't very rebellious. It merely helps him keep his depression in check. | |

Zits: A Sunday strip has Jeremy having a nightmare where this happens to him. He meets his future self and is dismayed to discover that he is not a rock god but is dressed in a business suit, balding with a comb-over, and has a dental practice in the suburbs. The last panel has Hector asking him why he's dressed in a stereotypical thug outfit. Jeremy calls it "self-defense against my future". More than a few flashback comics have implied this about Jeremy's parents, Connie more so than Walt, especially in the strips early days when it made sense for two baby-boomers to have a teenage son. Other strips imply they were pretty dorky back then too, so it depends on what the joke of the day is. |

Warhammer 40,000: Inverted. Young inquisitors are freshly indoctrinated and therefore puritanically orthodox. Those who survive to old age tend to lose their naivety and innocence to the setting's Black-and-Gray Morality, willing to employ daemonhosts and possessed weapons in their efforts to turn Chaos against itself, even for short-term victories. So these older Radicals often end up the target of the next generation of young Puritan inquisitors. | |

In Rumpole of the Bailey: Rumpole's stuffy boss, "Soapy" Sam Ballard, president of the Lawyers as Christians Society, nitpicker about missing nailbrushes and anti-smoking crusader, once had long hair, called himself "Bonzo" and played lead guitar for an amateur rock group called the Pithead Stompers. Rumpole himself is a subversion of this: he was probably quite the rebel in his youth...and he remained one for the rest of his life. Granted, it's a much more subdued sort of rebellion, but then his youth was during The Great Depression. |

She's relieved when he tells her that he's been meeting with a tutor for the past ten months to prepare for the U.A. Entrance Exam. When he asks her why she would ever think he would be smoking or meeting a girl, she admits she did some wild things when she was his age. Izuku immediately resolves to never to look into his mom's teenage years. | |

In Nomine: ... sort of. Heaven has a surprisingly active rumor mill for a place where you literally cannot lie, and the Archangel Zadkiel is a fairly popular subject of discussion. One of the most common themes is that she had a wild history back when she was still a young angel in service to her creator, the Archangel Novalis, such as fighting with her "mother" over Zadkiel's less pacifistic tendencies or leaving Heaven altogether in an angelic equivalent of running away from home to wander the mortal world, and that she became outright Outcast or Fallen during this period — the wilder rumors here speculate that she began as a Cherub of Stone that Fell after a spat with David and was redeemed by Novalis, or that her walkabout coincided with or was followed by a secret pregnancy (the really wild ones usually finger either a human or Lilith as the other parent; note here that Lilith is part of Hell's hierarchy and dalliances with humans got an entire Choir kicked out of Heaven). | |

Sharon (Stan's mom) also appears to be an example of this. She and Randy were both hippies in the '60s. While Randy is essentially a Manchild (in later seasons), Sharon is a pretty strict and upright parent. |

Fruits Basket: Kyoko Katsunuma was an infamous girl gangster as a teenager, but that left her emotionally broken. She decided to put her Dark and Troubled Past behind, married her handsome teacher Katsuya Honda (who was also the only one who cared for her), and became Kyoko Honda, aka Tohru's beloved mother (well, dead but much-beloved mother). Tohru's best friend Arisa Uotani was a member of a female delinquent gang in middle school, but after meeting Tohru and Kyoko, learned to clean up her act and quit her gang. By the time she's in high school, she's pretty much turned her life around, though she still keeps the look of a delinquent. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Calling Giles a Former Teen Rebel is more than a slight understatement. Initially portrayed as the epitome of the stuffy Brit, the few clues of his youth reveal that he was an ultra-violent warlock known to his cronies as "Ripper". One of his former friends shows up in a few episodes as a sadistic priest of chaos who is more than disappointed that his big idol turned out to be such an uptight bore. When first introduced Faith was an Ethical Slut and Blood Knight who didn't mind if she had to Shoot the Dog because Buffy wouldn't, such as whether or not Angel was good. After her Face–Heel Turn, she became a male-raping psychopath who killed and did wrong For the Evulz and actually tried to be this to attempt suicide by vampire. After breaking out of prison she has become one of the nicest people in both series, a Sergeant Rock to younger Slayers, and had not only seemingly grown out of her bad habits such as heavy drinking but she keeps others from doing so. |

Sweet Home Alabama: Melanie and Jake got up to a lot of antics during their teenage years to the point where the former earned the nickname "Felony Melanie". As adults, Jake tries to get the sheriff to remove Melanie from his house by bringing up some of her prior misdeeds including shoplifting, cow-tipping and driving a tractor into a pond. The last one proves to be enough as there's still an open warrant and the tractor happened to belong to the sheriff's mother. | |

Renaissance Man a 1994 film in which Danny DeVito plays a laid-off advertising executive who gets hired to work with a group of misfit army recruits. The first thing he has them do is write essays about why they joined the Army. Several of them reveal that they fit this trope and the reason they joined the Army was to get away from it. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: Chakotay is shown in "Tattoo" as a petulant youth who rejects his father's attempts to instruct him in The Ways Of His People because he'd rather run off and join Starfleet. Tuvok was this as well, in multiple forms. As a young teenager, he fell in love with an alien girl and rejected Vulcan philosophy in order to pursue her, only to end up being rejected. Following this, he spent several months re-learning Vulcan logic from a master and became fully, deeply committed to the concept, but he swung so far to the opposite extreme that this became a new point of contention with his parents: he wanted to remain on Vulcan and continue those studies, but his parents wanted him to go to Starfleet Academy instead. He eventually acquiesced to them and joined Starfleet, but he continued to resent it and ultimately resigned from the service after his first mission. It was only after having children of his own that Tuvok finally found balance between the two, leading to his decision to give Starfleet another try. |

Charmed (1998): Prue and Phoebe Halliwell went through "rebellious" phases as teenagers, sneaking out of the house and hanging out with dangerous people. Paige is also said to have had issues with underage drinking before straightening up her act after her adoptive parents died in a car accident. The only one who didn't act out was middle child Piper, who's said to have been an uncool dork in high school. | |

In The Little Mermaid (1989), Ariel often went up to the ocean's surface, despite knowing full well that her father forbade it because she thought he was being unreasonable and overprotective. Come The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea, Ariel's own daughter Melody does the very same thing (going into the sea when she knows it's forbidden), and Ariel becomes angry and scolds her when Melody reveals she did so. In both cases, it's about parents worrying for their children. | |

Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation was a delinquent and skirt-chaser at the Academy, culminating in a bar fight with a group of Proud Warrior Race Guys in which he got stabbed in the heart. After that, he became rather more focused and regretted his wild years, but when Q gives him the chance to return to the past and relive them in "Tapestry", Picard discovers that they were necessary to make him the man he became. | |
