Not even close!! Jello will stick there for a little while at least, and not have a fit over the restraint. lol But seriously, it can really feel like you're constantly on the edge of being overwhelmed, until you realize that they are always going to test the boundaries. Only by standing firm on what you say, can you gain their respect and attention. I recently took 4 teen-aged boys to Orlando by myself and once we had established the fact that we could leave just as easily as we had arrived, I had no troubles. We had one incident in the lobby of the Disney Resort and they boys quickly found themselves back in the car with the intention to drive back home looming in front of them. Allowing them a second chance, but ONLY one more, turned the rest of the trip into a fun filled 9 days. If only they had been able to keep up better........... Good luck!!

well, if you leave the jello to dry first then it will be easier for you..and try using superglu instead of the arrow and bow thing...hahaha..im just joking..wat i am trying to say is that not all jello is hard to pin to the tree, there are different types of teenages...me for example.. im 18 and i LET my parents control me because i know how much they care for me...i cant even eat right without my mums coment on how i eat...guess wat i am trying to say is try to relax...an see how it goes..its life..its suppose to be hard. gud luck by the way.

they are almost adults and the best you can do is offer advise and let them learn things on their own..disciplin will only cause problems..try being more of a friend then a parent..

Because they have one foot in childhood-one foot in adulthood and they have not got a clue what it is to be and adult.
