Hi, I just wanted to know if I can actually use the word perspective like this? Thanks.

The sentence itself is incomplete, but the word perspective is fine...but you need to define what is the teenager's perspective....something like, "The opinion of their parents is often a teenager's perspective of the world."..This is a complete idea.

Yes it makes sense in English and can be used like that, but it's not a sentence. It's only a subject, the first part of a sentence. To make it a sentence, it also needs a predicate, or verb.
You can use perspective anyway you want, it just has to be a noun referring to someone's point of view or opinion.

Yes, perspective is used correctly. However, you wrote a phrase and not a sentence. You need to add a subject and predicate to finish the sentence.
EX: This is a teenager's perspective of the world around her.

Yes, that makes sense in the context of talking about the way she views the world

Perception should be better than perspective in this context!

You can use the word in that way, but the sentence is a fragment.

Yes, that is just fine, as you are discussing how the teen perceives their world
