Raising a Teenager Will be Tough

Teenagers are going through as rapid a change as when they were newborns. They are trying to learn who they are and where they sit in the world and to parents dismay they must do this on their own. If a teenager does not come to a parent with their problems that is the choice of the teenager, as parents you have raised them to live in this way. This does not mean ignore the teenager, love them and offer them a comfortable environment to come home to because the world they are in is getting harsh, fast. This is the time for parents to becoming supporting pillars for the teen to lean against instead of the guiding force you once were.
