"One of the most important parenting tips for teens involves positive attention. Spend time with your teen to remind him or her that you care. Listen to your teen when he or she talks, and respect your teen's feelings."Also, don't pressure your child to be like you. Instead, encourage him to discover his own identity. If, however, his "discovery" begins to move him toward unhealthy friendships and activities, be there to sound the alarm and set reasonable limits and boundaries.Source: The Mayo Clinic
