Placid and easygoing as a child and teenager, the maturing Rosemary Kennedy became increasingly assertive and rebellious. She was also reportedly subject to violent mood swings. Some observers have since attributed this behavior to her difficulties in keeping up with siblings who were expected to perform to high standards, as well as the hormonal surges associated with puberty. In any case, the family had difficulty dealing with her stormy moods and reckless behavior. Rosemary Kennedy had begun to sneak out at night from the convent school in Washington D.C. where she was cared for and educated.[10] Rosemary Kennedys normally placid personality and occasional erratic behavior frustrated her parents who expected all of their children to behave appropriately, be highly goal-oriented and competitive. Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. was especially worried that his daughters behavior would bring shame and embarrassment upon the family and possibly damage his political career.[11] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_Kennedy
