Hi, everyone

(1)
The mother refuse to buy a second icecream for the kid.
Back at home, the kid refuse to eat dinner.

(2)
The mother critisized a kid for some reason.
The teenager locks himself in his room, and does not want to get downstairs to have dinner, although his mother is calling him.

(3)The teacher critisized a student.
The student storms out of the room.

I wonder how you would use one expression to generize their actions with the following pattern:

The kid is___
The teenager is__
The student is __

Could I say they are all in a mood?

Best wishes.
 
    • Hi, Nelson Drake, Thanks for your reply.


    But I'm looking for an expression that implies a unpleased mood accompanied by a irrational action as the red parts in my thread.

    some other example:

    He said I cannot drink. ____, I drink a dozen of liquior in front of his eyes.
    The water is too dirty. I dipped my clothes into it. And my clothes becomes dirtier.
    So, I____, and throw my clothes away.


    Best wishes

    The kid is sulking.

    The teenager is being defiant.

    The student is angry.

    Edit: Sorry, I see you are looking for one expression. "They are all being rebellious."
