Teenagers are tricky!

Determined teenagers will find a way to do what they want, no matter how much supervision they are under. Its better to keep them talking and constantly compromising with parents on what they want to do. This isn't a foolproof solution but its better than constantly telling them "no." Parents need to be consistent and fair and treat children with respect and as thinking people. Teenagers are better than their parents and society give them credit for.

With teenagers its about demystifying the adult world and allowing them to satisfy their curiosity.
