This is a good question.
Depends on the country you are in.
What can you do is:
a) to find out the reason to what happened, just ask, and keep your eyes and your EARS open and don't onject to what you hear. Be patient.
b) Educate, teach both your kind AND your self! Teenagers suffer a huge hormonal shift which can cause them to go out of control - this is normal and will last only a couple of years. Be patient and try to understand and establish new trust and information link with the kid. When teenagers are maturing they discover things they don't tell you about. If you want access to such information, you need to gain new trust; but keep your authority, you're the adult.
c) Mild physical punishment may be appropriate in some occasions. But NEVER do that in anger and only because of a specific reason, not because someone made you mad. (It helps the dreamer to snap out of his daydreaming of invincibility)
Emanicipate means out of parent control.
Yes teenager's, expecially early teenager's do dum things if there parent or parent's does not show them.
The teenager can decide just how long to spend the vacation with a parent, however if the parent disagrees then the decision can be reversed.
i would say it would be easier to be the parent of a teenager, because some parents would just leave their kids to do what they want, and have brought them up to be responsible enough to know what is right and what is wrong. teenager because if ur a parent it would be sad 2 leave your kid,:(
No.
Yes.

As a parent, anything. As long as it dosent become unethical, such as harming her physically.
Just as a toy plane is made to be set free outside so is a teenager made in such a way as though the more you control him/her the more they rebel. They have free will, they long to be free of any authority. The key is not how to control a teenager, but more likely how to guide him/her. They need guidance, and they need to receive it from a parent or a person of character that they find very influential. To gain the respect to guide a teenager, first you need to give it.
when they move out.
If you're even thinking of that you should of never became an adoptive parent in the first place. Because you can't do that. If the child is acting up then maybe they're not happy. You might want to change that.
They have an opinion, which could be a sign of parental alienation, or just being a teenager not wanting to be told what to do. see link
