Every generation produces kids who don’t fit neatly into the boxes adults try to force them into — the bold ones, the curious ones, the ones who ask “why” too many times and refuse to dim their spark just to keep the peace. This series honors those children. The so-called “troublemakers.” The ones who get labeled difficult when really, they’re just unwilling to abandon their instincts. These characters carry oversized eyes, sharp little grins, and unapologetic presence because they see the world clearly, even when the world would prefer they didn’t.

“Troublemakers” is my love letter to that spirit — the defiant joy of being exactly who you are before shame or conformity get their claws in. These kids push boundaries not because they want chaos, but because they were born knowing the truth: the world changes because someone refuses to behave. If you were ever that kid, or you’re raising one now, I hope you recognize the beauty in it. And as always, in full mom form, I’m here cheering for the ones who stay loud, stay weird, and stay wonderfully themselves.
