Great! Now the easy part is done, and the harder portions are soon to come. While reading this self-help booklet, please do not put yourself in a state of denial. Remember, denial is not a river in Egypt, though you may wish it was. The first step to helping yourself is admitting you have a problem. When you have marked all of those that describe you, count them up and compare them with the results below.

1-2 Marks – Terribly sorry, we're afraid rebellion is not the right path for you to go down. We suggest that you pre-arrange a meeting with a school counselor and have a deep and meaningful chat about why you chose to confide in this pamphlet. Remember, suicide is not a way of rebelling, if anything it's the cowards way out of a difficult situation.

3-12 Marks – Rebellion may be a suitable choice for you! Nothing drastic is necessary for you to get your point across, so we suggest you simply tweak your routine just enough that people notice a difference in your behavior. An example would be to procrastinate or merely choose not to do your homework so your teachers and parents will start to question what is causing this change in your behavior.

13-20 Marks – Woah! Rebellion is definitely the right choice for you. You are in dire need of our help. We suggest that after you have successfully completed reading this that you continue to read the next section in this pamphlet or call our support line at 1-800-DAY-REBEL. Our job is to help you, we cannot help you if you do not wish to help yourself!
