If you want, you can understand any person, justify his actions and give a chance to correct mistakes. Adolescents are not yet adults, but they are no longer small children. Teenagers need a special approach.
Instructions
Step 1
You can understand a teenager if you imagine yourself in his place. Remember what youthful maximalism you had in adolescence. It seemed to you that the world revolves around you and you need to take everything from life. At the age of 14-16, children have a special, their own worldview, and you need to adjust to it, otherwise you risk losing the trust of your child. Take an interest in his hobbies, the music he likes to listen to. Try to become a friend to him, not a grumpy mentor, always dissatisfied with his and his life. If you gain sympathy, his confidence in himself, then it will be easier for you to manage the teenager. You will know what he does in his free time, what he thinks, dreams. Often, the barrier between the parents and the teenager appears due to misunderstanding, and the parents only exacerbate the already strained relationship with the teenager with their instructions and cursing. You should not build a wall of disagreement with your own hands.
Step 2
Have a heart-to-heart talk with your teenager. There must be reasons and explanations for his behavior. Maybe you don't notice him, and he wants to draw your attention to himself by, for example, dyeing his hair nuclear green. Also, the desire to stand out among peers pushes the teenager to pierce the ears, nose, lips or to draw a tattoo. The feeling of loneliness drives a teenager when he joins informal groups - emo, goths, etc.
Step 3
Very often, adolescents do not develop relationships with classmates or conflicts with older children. To channel the energy of a teenager in the right direction, enroll him in a sports section for judo, karate or swimming. So his free time will be occupied with useful work and there will simply not be time left for street proceedings. And with due diligence and a desire to conquer the world (as is often the case with adolescents), your child will turn out to be a good athlete.
