Well, yes, of course. Teens want independence from their parents, and they have a natural predisposition to push boundaries.

- bottled_poe 9y agoAgree, but I’d expand that to all humans.
- headsoup 9y agoBut that really has not much to do with it. It's a trust issue. Build a foundation of trust and mutual respect and you shouldn't need to monitor them, because they'll be asking you for guidance or respecting what is provided. Unconditional love and all that, rather than discipline or else. If kids don't trust their parents and rely on them being there, they'll turn to friends, and well, other kids aren't generally the best role models or advisers...
