I ran into problems many times and became a veteran of detention at an early age, as well as later in my education. Not until my upper division college and graduate classes were teachers accepting of divergent thinking and sharing information I had learned that they might not have known prior to having me in class...
I also started full-out rebellion in response to being treated as "just a kid..." I still feel that anger trigger sometimes when I am patronized or treated as if I cannot fully reason through an issue...
DC16 was never that outspoken, but DC20 has had a few run-ins like those (also ADHD, so maybe that contributes)...
