Why is my tenager so unruly??

they will settle down eventually. Most teenagers are like that just try not make them dislike you becasue then will become more and more unruly. Have boundariesy but don’t be ridiculous and too over bearing. You need to be someone they can trust not someone they avoid and dislike

yes all teens are like that and to avoid fighting try not to yell to mmuch or anything im a teen and my mom yells a lot and she honestly made me accually feel depressed and I dont think you want you kids feel that way

I am like that I don’t no why but I am I guess it’s just a phase teens go through I’m going through it

I guess most teens are like that. I have a theory that it has something to do with superiority and self consciousness. The superiority comes from assessing themselves as right and the self consciousness comes from proving themselves right thus boosting their ego.

To cope with them is another story, their just going to be stubborn no matter how hard you try to get to them. Its best to get them when they’re relaxed so you can have a chat with them and try to show them they can in fact be wrong lol.

Hope this helps.

Yes just about every teen thinks they know everything. I’m just coming to realize how much I don’t know, and feel a bit ashamed for how I acted when I was a teenager. :P

And as hysterical said you have to try to convince them they are wrong, and no one likes to be wrong. Personally I preferred when my parents sat down, talked to me, and used logic to prove their point. Never been a fan of “” you have to do it b/c I said so, and im your parent””

Lol. Teens hate when they parnets tells them what to do or when something is right. But if it’s not a parnet giving the teen a advice they are happy.

Not all teens are like that…I have 2 teens and an 11 year old, and so far, so good.

I have always tried to keep an open mind with my kids, and because of that, they’re not afraid to talk to me about anything. I think it helps with the level of respect they show as well.

“its for your own good” are not the word we wanna hear, I mean we know its for our own good, but we just dont want to hear it. We wanna be able to learn from our own mistakes not our parents… all you can do is just try to help with whatever it is your girls are doing or are guNNa go thru, but dont shove it down their throat bkuz they’ll probably rebel and do somethiing they know you wouldnt approve of..

I was a horrible teenager! I put my mum through hell and nearly put her in a looney bin but she always stuck to her guns and still punished me no matter how hard it got. I now respect her for that as I am a hard working girl with a career in sight and now im 20 have my own house and me and mum are really close. My younger sister Emily wasnt as rebellious as me but she was NASTY. you couldn’t say hiya to her without getting a mouth full!lazy snappy tell mum to shut up, horrible to be around! My youngest sister has always been the little cutie golden girl that could never do any wrong and hated getting into trouble, She was quiet, kind and would never hurt a fly. She would cry if she thought she had hurt your feelings in any way. BUT THEN… SHE TURNED 14!!! she is a completely different person with an attitude from hell! She was the last person everybody thought would go through the teenager stage, but here we are! Emily is over it and like me, grew out of it but that would have been down to my mum who never gave up on us and what was right. Be approachable and let her know she can tell you her problems but dont let her get away with the bad things she does. She’ll hate you for it now but thank you later on!! Im talking from experience.

all I can say is let her learn from her mistakes you gotto either learn the hard way or the easy way and most teens pick the hard way
