i still think rebel is probably the most appropriate word.

teenagers rebel. that\'s what they do!

if \"he\'s rebellious\" (or she) sounds too formal, you could go for \"he\'s a bit of a rebel\"

a \"black sheep\" is someone who goes against the norm, but it doesn\'t necessarily imply that they do it on purpose...
