My apologies, Doc. It sounds like you're doing the right things after all. But I really don't think teens are all that much worse than they ever were.
It can depend on the community. In my experience, teens who come from working-class backgrounds where their parents put a value on hard work (because they won't survive if they don't), tend to "get it" faster. Kids who've grown up more insulated from the harsh realities, that's another story.
