Jesus's first rebellion

This passage includes the first recorded words of Jesus in the Bible:

Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year for the Feast of the Passover and this year, Jesus was twelve years old.
And when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But his parents did not know, and supposing him to be in the group they went a day's journey before realizing he was not with them. And when they began to search for him among their relatives and acquaintances, and did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.
After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
And when his parents saw him, they were astonished and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us so? Your father and I have been searching for you in great distress." And he said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?" And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them.

From age 12, Jesus was confident in doing what he felt was right, despite how it made his parents feel. When his parents accused him of treating them wrongly, he turned the question right around on them and accepted no blame. "I'm doing what's important to me. What's your problem?" This seems to go against the idea that children should strictly obey and respect their parents. His priority was to follow his internal guidance.
