It's also true that some parents are way too hands off. For some reason parents seem to think you can ease up on the parenting during the teen years, when, imo, the opposite is the case. Teens require an enormous amount of monitoring and engagement, and yet it has to be the kind of monitoring and engagement that isn't too proscriptive. You can't get away with the really overt supervision any more because the teens are so aware of everything. The kids I see in high school who seem to have the biggest problems are the kids with parents who have checked out. Kids can rarely raise themselves well.
