As kids grow into adults, they pass through a delicate stage called teenage. This stage is vital in determining the kind of person a kid is going to become. Various factors including environment usually decide the kind of person to be expected. Teenagers are very difficult to handle. If you are too harsh on them, they do not become what you want them to be. If you are too soft or friendly, still they do not become what you expect them to be. So parents should be a bit careful and understanding while raising teenagers lest the lose the person they expected out of the teenagers.

As you said, you need to find that balance between being too firm, and to soft. However, that does not mean you should excrises caution. Rather treat your teen how you wish to be treated. Furthermore, listen to them and don't be so quick to assume their actions are bad behaviors and try to understand them. It's easy to forget kids are people too and they are going to need the space to find their limits. But, also know they can go to their parents. Which sadly isn't always the case. How you raise a kid in their younger years also aides in molding them into being free- thinking adults, too.

I agree with your opinion, the way you handle them will determine who they become, and a good idea to mold them into free-thinking beings!

@kaylachan Youngstars have strong bodies but very weak minds. They have to be assisted to have strong minds so as to be able to control their emotions, or else they end up harming themselves or those around them

@SIDIKIMPOLE Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. No one person is dthe same as much as you want to think otherwise. This one-size-fits-all approach is why so many teens end up in trouble. Why schools don't know where they stand when it comes to disiplining children. Or what they can and can't teach in schools. And, that needs to change. Parents need to actually parent their kids, instead of asking the school to do it. And, schools need a firm understanding of what they can and can't do when it comes to student behavior.

You are right.Parents should pay attention how their children behave and what they do in their absence.Parents should make them trust their parents are their true friends.
