Pre teen boys are frustrating

My son is turning 13 in February and he's been awful lately. I asked him to run the trash out and he gave me the biggest eyeroll, sighed and made a show out of it. I told him that wasn't necessary which made him upset. Today i asked for some help in the kitchen and he was dramatic again. All he does is sit on his phone and ignore everyone. I know if I take his phone away that will be world war 3. He also mutters under his breath that im annoying or lazy too

The brain goes through a major overhaul/rewiring during adolescence. There’s also a cascade of sex hormones, a change in melatonin transcription and a dramatically increased sensitivity to stress.
Exercise (competitive or not) in small peer groups is shown to be the best way to reduce stress.
