Open communication with teens is vital. Keeping it open. Be honest. Do not nag or yell or force your ideas upon them. My son was fine as a teen. He told me some things now that I never knew about him then. He also was grateful for my being open and honest always. Parents are back ups and a source of info for teens as they explore the world.
