16. What is rebellion? Why do so many young people “rebel”? Is rebellion a necessary element of growing up?

Definition of "Rebel(verb)"
a
: to oppose or disobey one in authority or control

I think that young people rebel so that they can prove their independence. By proving independence, they might get punished, but people can see how responsible they are and eventually get them have more freedom.

No, because the "authority" for every young person is different. While some people feel the need to rebel because their parents are suppressing them, others don't because their parents are pushing them to grow up and give them more responsibility and freedom than they will use.
