How do you even raise a teenager?

@MartinTheFirstSound thinking. I am glad to read this because I think I did a good job up until now.

@MartinTheFirst wise words. I never thought of it this way.

@summersong @Dainbramadge I had a rough time during my teenage years. I was truly stubborn and my parents continued to try to raise me as a child. The best thing you can do is to change your method of raising, to instead of lecturing, to sit down and talk like one experienced adult to one inexperienced adult. Like a teacher and a pupil.

@MartinTheFirst That is kind of what I have done all along. At least tried to do. I was held back in my teenage years and had lots of stick rules. When I finally got a little slack I went buck wild. I hope I can continue the trust I have with my daughter as she reaches that age.
Great advice. Thank you.

@Dainbramadge Then im sure it all will be fine. Well done.
