Answer:
This teen seems to be seeking a deviant identity.
Explanation:
Deviant behavior is defined as conducts which stray from what is considered normal and acceptable. A deviant identity is thus identifying oneself through abnormal conducts and behaviors, as perceiving oneself as atypical.
In this case it seems that the teen is seeking a deviant identity by carrying out acts which are not viewed as normal, they are different from what is considered normal, such as dying his hair purple, wearing the spike through his finger and dressing in bright colors.
