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.

I would agree.
I would also add that most teenagers today have little or no respect for their parents due to a number of reasons. Some were born to teenagers themselves which leads to a "friendship" type relationship instead of a "parental" one. While it's true teenagers need friends, I believe that those years are the most crucial in which to have a solid relationship with parents.
Other teenagers lack respect for their parents because they can see the hypocrisy in them. The "do as I say not as I do" rule really, when it comes down to it, holds no value when raising children. They can see the hypocrisy as clear as day. "Lead by example" is truly the best road to travel.

I think it has more to do with the fact that the frontal lobe of the brain is not fully developed until about the age of 25. So until then, people tend to not have a ton of foresight into the consequences of their actions and have poor ability to stop ineffective behaviors. Add to that the hormones of puberty and your left with events that get blown way out of proportion.

mmmhmm
I agree on your hypothesis on some level but i think u could get more research on the geographical type of education,
in my country (indonesia) life knowledge are not the kind of knowledge that was teach in the common school, its condensed with academic knowledge(based on personal experience). i think if a teenager was loose to the wild with this kind of knowledge, it will die :D but the social status friends that occur in their teen life really help them in creating a better situation networking for him/her life, i tried to view this situation in a micro or meso condition.
i know this short answer will do u no just, i even think its too blabber :D but i think u know what i meant with it.

I completely agree! It's important for for teens to be taught social skills as well as academic ones.

I think your hypothesis has no relevence, and as such, has no reason for existing.
There is no point in postulating something unless it is there to prove something. What are you trying to prove? What are you really trying to say? What is to come of this hypothesis?

If you had a hypothesis, I might be able to agree or disagree, but as long as you've got a hypothesis, I can't help you out.
