You could--but you must know in advance that your "troubled teenager" will likely become more "troubled" without you. Kids need their parents, even during teenage years. But it can be rough. Rest assured, you can get through the 6 years that make up teen years (12 to 18). And be comforted that most teens turn out pretty well -- if you can just get through those 6 years.

Look around your community for adults you like and can trust, and who share an interest with your kid. For example, when my child was in the Robotics club at school, I found a retired engineer who agreed to meet with her for 30-45 minutes twice a week. When she joined the Orienteering Club, I asked an Army Recruiter to teach her how to use a compass and run a couple courses with her at the city park. "Mentors" can really help a child / teen to see the world differently, but under a parent's guidance.
