I'm going to be a foreign exchange host mom for two teenagers in two weeks! What do I need to know about teenaged boys?!

They are coming to your house, so they have to live by your rules. So set some house rules for them with regards to the values you would want to develop in your own children. Once they are there, discuss these with them to find out whether they are comfortable with the house rules you set.
As with all teenagers, they would want as much freedom as they could get and you can be sure that they will test you. In all dealings be fair but firm with them. Make them responsible for their own actions.

Mostly likely moody like any other teens due to the raging hormones. As they may be from an entirely different culture, depending upon where they are coming from, that will have big influence on what is "normal" for them.
Every kid is different also and depends on their maturity level; my son is more into stakeboards and video games while some of his friends are totatlly girl crazy.
I noticed when I was an exchange student in Germany that people there get physically closer to you when they speak to you than Americans do, which kind of creeped me out at first and they thought it was weird that I took a shower every day.

No matter where these forein students are from just remember ALL MALE TEENAGERS are raging with hormones and have sex on their minds every 10 seconds, i dont mean to be offensive but its the truth lady, dont wear anything over-exposing, make sure pornography is not accesible in your household and if u hav any teenage daughters i suggest u keep them isolated.

It ahs been a while since I had teens, but from what I remember it was educational.
I'm sure you have friends that have kids ask them how to deal with teens in this era.
Be a friend more than a mom they already have parents. Also be specific about what you expect and listen to them as they talk your silence in some areas and voice in others will be appreciated.

Don't tell them the rules. It will make them feel uncomfortable. I am positive they will be nice, and there will be no need to explain any rules. Knock before entering any room the are in. Believe me knocking is very important. Show them what american culture is like. Take them out to dinner one night. They will like going out to dinner. Maybe rent a couple movies. Try to make them feel like they are at home.

They love to eat and love to play video games. Probably love to hang out at the mall. But since they're expected to learn about your country and culture, be sure to find things to do that they can go home and talk about. Maybe you should get on the internet and find out about their culture and country (where are they from?) Just be kind to them and make their visit as enjoyable as possible.
