How do you even raise a teenager?

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. 💙
