Passive Agression
My parents were right - this regime is growing more oppressive by the day. It seems as if their mission is to make all of us, especially the women, hermits in our houses, leaving only to pray to some God that I used to believe in. I am forced to find small ways to rebel, like smoking my first cigarette or cutting class to journey into to the rich neighborhood. I feel like these small revolutions are the only path to change. Like Iron Maiden and Kim Wilde before me, it is my turn to forge my own identity in a world slowly choking the ambitions of youth. Sometimes I feel like my Parents feel the same way, always having illicit parties and attempting small bouts of protest, but I can tell they are still playing to the man. However, I feel no need to struggle against them anymore as individuals. Still, sometimes, they need to be disobeyed as subjects complicit to the rule of tyrants. The wheels of revolution are like those of a bicycle, they must keep turning or they collapse to the ground. It's time for the youth to rise up and create their own culture.

I can certainly see where your antagonistic sentiment has come from, but are you certain that the small cultural revolutions are the best solutions to your problems. The root of these problems seem to be political, as they are perpetrated by an oppressive regime, so perhaps it would be more effective to respond the call for political change rather than cultural. You can most likely accomplish this by educating yourself and others, and starting peaceful political protests that can gather people of every generation.
