Teenage drama...How to tame the wild teen?

I don't know what you are looking for on this. But, from a parenting view, the general wisdom is to keep them busy and tired. Make sure they belong to a group at school, such as band, theater, or a sport. and help carpool them there. Then, you will get to know other parents and see your child in action. Requiring them to do chores around the house, keeping them involved with family activities, like church, picnicing, sports, and otherwise keeping them engaged with people who share your values is good.

_As one, according to everyone that knows me, recall you had your chance, weather you took it or not, and always keep in mind : a flower only blooms once, there fore meaning you are only young once, don't forget that. I'm not saying to stop telling and supporting them academically, continue to be annoy them with school related material ; but be loose on fun activities, like fake ideas, parties, drinking, but also make sure they earn all that stuff. I wouldn't say to completely hold on to them if they got an F or a Z on some assignment, be supportive with them on what they do. I mean I still party hard-core, get wasted, go to clubs, but most importantly, I'm in the student government + council, signifying I have impressive grades for the universities I'm eventually apply for. Any way, if you try to "tame" them, do it once, if it doesn't work, listen to me! . Hope as one of "wild teens", so you put it.
