My oldest is 14, almost 15. It’s not always easy, but trust and communication go a long way.

On a prayer, luck, and alcohol! (For you, not the teenager but that will happen, too.)

put em in a big box with holes in it so they can breathe and throw in a sandwich often and a game console with games oh and power helps too , don't let em outside the box , lol obviously i don't have a teenager

No good answer for how to raise “a teenager”. You’ll be the only one researching and practicing the raising of yours. Have some unwavering, foundational principles and listen a lot.

Its hard but I always make sure they know they can talk to me about anything. I am strict to an extent. Show them love but dont smother them

The same way you raised them from little to now...still rules ur still the parent

You'll survive, like your parents did.

I'm so sorry man. I hope you'll get through it.

Buy lots of food

13 years of age is the age where your previous raising will be proven. If you failed you'll notice it, it's too late to make adjustments by now. It'll be a struggle.

Same boat here ... and I am worried I wont be able to keep up. LOL

obvi not a parent here, just gonna offer what I have seen with family members teens and my own friends today.
I'm guessing keep good tabs on them so they are safe, because they are struggling that stage of between little kid and adult the adolescence period is tough. They want to be independent but they cannot. I'd say let them believe they have privacy so they don't rebel quite so hard against you. A few of my closest friends they were raised tightly next to their parents, lots of harsh strict rules, no self expression allowed with hair, clothes, language etc each of them left home and LOST IT for a few years. Excessive drinking, drug use, random sex, even some even stupider stuff. The point is they were like a rubber band held back so far when it was time to let go they shot out of control. Try your best to maintain that bond with your child, because as you already know you play one of the most important relationship roles in their entire lives. Be patient, open, understanding, of course continue to expect respect from them, but also try and listen to them if and when you bump heads. They want a voice so badly at that age and get really angry or discouraged when they feel silenced. There is no full proof way of raising a good teenager. But you just do the best ya can like you have the first 12 years. Love them, be there for them, protect them. 💙
