Is it normal for them to look at internet pornography/pornography itself, to have difficulty in sleeping and to apply bad attitudes to parents, siblings and other people?

Yes, to all of your questions. The teen years are a time of ever growing curiosity and exploration. Teens will look at porn, try to peek at members of both genders, even their parents, just out of curiosity. Their bodies are constantly changing and their hormones are running amok, so , yeah, there may be some difficulty sleeping, bad attitudes and all kind of things like that. This is not to say that it's alright for them to go on with these attitudes, they have to learn how to deal with these difficulties and treat people with respect. They also have to learn not to peek at people and to lay off the pron so they can lead normal lives. Have you seen how skewed the world of porn can be? If they get too much of that, they'll end up like a former client of mine who thought it was okay to follow women and whip out his penis because that's what did the trick for this guy in a porn flick he saw!

Bainaash said it well. I am unsure of your age but I remember those years well. Usually the irritability is around puberty. That can be pre-teens or teens. I remember being upset about everything, the little things got to me. I had to learn to bite my tongue. I also felt hungrier and had more energy and wanted to do more. Based on Freuds stages of development young children want to view each others body parts. As a person gets older they may get want to see more. Back in the day it was the magazines under the bed, now porn is readily available who needs the magazine.
The negative aspect is sleep is needed in young adults because they are growing and developing. Porn is over the top and gives a false expectation of how women are. There is no need to go see a psychiatrist for that. The teenager may need to be in a sport to help relieve excess energy. The computer may need to have a parental control, so it doesn't become an obsession. The bad attitude will eventually go away when the hormones are stable, just do not reinforce the behavior.
In other words, do not accept it because it is normal, if they learn how to control there emotions as much as possible now, when it seems it's the end of the world then when they get in the workforce they will be able to handle the situation better.
If you are the teenager then take the initiative and join a sport, avoid the porn, try to sleep more, control your emotions and realize it is only a temporary stage in life.

Yes to all three.
During a teenager's years, they are discovering and learning about sex. Lots of teenagers want a visual cue on what sex actually is. So that's why the majority of teens DO watch porn. I've never watched it, thank god, and it repulses me that humans plastic themselves up for nakedness on camera.
And then insomina and bad attitude. Bad attitude is partly caused by the insomia, but also caused by teens becoming their own authortive guide to life. It's like they think they know everything. But they don't. I know a lot as a teen, yet how can I expect myself, or anyone else, to know everything.
Teens have to realize what they see or hear isn't always true, and that if they keep pushing themselves to a lower standard, that they will make mistakes. But legally and practically, that's what the teenage years are for.

Perfectly normal. If I were a parent, the thing I would be watching, oddly enough, would be the monthly phone bill. Times are tough and talk is cheap, so keep an eye on the phone calls and politely but firmly squelch (put your foot down about) any excesses you may find which you don't care to pay for. Phone calls can suddenly turn into a runaway train. It's like throwing money out the window in a high wind...

Bad attitude to family members is frequently part of the teenage years. Pornography and trouble sleeping, though, are signs of a potentially serious psychological problem. You should encourage the parents of the teenager in question to have the teenager evaluated for psychological disorders.
