When children are in their teens they have been taught a tremendous amount of information to help their academic future. They have very little education on surviving the teens or coping with parents that expect them to "grow up" just because they are growing physically. In trying to cope, teens have a tendency to use what they have learned in the school yard, and academically, in situations that have no logical connection to either. It is all they know and we as parents tend to wait for situations to blowup before we even begin to explain (or holler) the information that would have made the mountain of an emotional problem into a mole hill.
