How might you assess the situation if an adolescent is looking away from you as you try to establish eye contact during a teaching session and answers your question in an arrogant or flippant manner?

This is an opportunity, not a problem.
The adult should be aware of what they themselves may be projecting to the youth or if the youth has a problem that may be the cause of their behavior.
Asking divergent questions and not adressing the displayed behavior would bode well for the adult.

Agree. Child is displaying typical teenage behavior. Lack of eye contact shows he is definitely not trying to attact or even dominate the situation. It's possible he is using this behavior in an attempt to get in trouble so he can tell someone about his problems.
