Personal hc that before Jason, dick was a total teenage dirtbag.

Dick was always seeking his father’s approval, just to see if he *truly* cared. Bruce was always so preoccupied with Wayne Industries and off world missions that he never took time to truly acknowledge Dicks feelings.

There would be several times Wally would put out Dicks cigarettes before he could protest. Arguing “they aren’t good for your health!”. Dick would simply just vow to buy more and smoke in secret for the next time.

In his civvies, Dick would get arrested for “disorderly conduct” because he doesn’t believe in blind obedience. On a deeper level, the Gotham police reminds him of going to Juvie when his parents died, and Dick can’t help but lose it a little. It’s a PTSD response for him, to reject the local Gotham PD.

Dick and Commissioner Gordon are on a first name basis for how many times he’s picked Dick up for causing too much ruckus around Gotham. Bruce always pays his bail and wordlessly takes him home.

In his later years as Robin, Dick would get in trouble for experimenting too much amongst his peers. Getting invited to parties, drinking too much, smoking too much… it’s almost a cyclical thing for Dick to stumble through his open window at night, or to wake up hungover in someone else’s bed.

All of this was an attempt to see if Bruce truly cares, if he would actually stop Dick from making these unhealthy choices that are slowly killing him.

Dick constantly sought his father’s approval, but never truly got it. Bruce understood what it was like to be an orphan, so he would let Dick make these mistakes without interfering. From Dicks perspective, it seemed like Bruce never truly cared…
