Teenagers go through so many changes as their bodies are growing to maturity. They are just as confused as we are. The important thing to remember is to keep the line of communication open. Allow them freedom of expression without being critical.

it means you don't get on your kids as much as you should about doing the wrong thing.
Many schools now do provide brochures and counseling, as well as even providing day care for parenting teenagers who are struggling to finish their schooling while also emotionally, and often financially, supporting a family.
Most have their moments, but it is wrong to categorize all teenagers
It is when teenagers get into trouble with the law etc. Kids that have gone bad through bad parenting.
most teenagers think it's cool to spell things wrong or are too lazy to do it
Yes, teenagers should be taking parenting courses in highschool because it gives them an outlook on what its going to be like when they are a parent in the future. Abstinence is key. Teenagers should be well aware of the consequences of pregnancies and in my opinion i think it is a perfect course to take! :)
Teenagers do whatever they feel like doing depending on their interests and moods.
Parents are role models for their children and in doing so they teach their child the proper behaviors. To bite another person is NOT good behavior so if a parent does this they are teaching their child something wrong. Children will do/say what the parent does and the parent doing something wrong isn't good parenting.

I am a social worker and think that some teenagers are not given enough guidance and that teenagers are not to blame for there actions as they do not have enough guidance. Teenagers these days do not have enough restrictions or boundaries to tell them the when they should stop doing what they are doing. I also think that if teenagers were given the right amount of guidance teenagers would not be easy targets for the media and would be achieving more.
If you know you are doing the wrong thing then just stop doing it.
