By far teen years are harder then the baby toddler one.   It is a struggle on both sides parent needing to loosen the reins and a child to explore their boundaries...........

They test our limits .... they rebel .... they want to believe they know things the best advice is on the rare moments to connect convey that you too went through teen years made choices and mistakes in life and will be there to help them navigate...... 

we cannot make them chose what we would ... they will make other choices some will be errors all we can do is our best to adapt to a person on verge of becoming an adult and hope our parenting and training has a positive effect.

@charmingGlobe3886 Hi there, You are definitely not alone on this! There is a post here https://www.7cups.com/forum/parenting/Parenting_2568/ParentingTeenagers_339581/ that has some tips, but every teenager is different, and often peer pressure can play a strong part.

Can you share more about what is happening?
