Dear lybrate user. I can understand. Adolescents are a separate entity. The more you try to make them understand or listen to you, the more they feel you are being authoritarian. They wish and need freedom. You have to tackle them by giving the required freedom and appreciation. Advising is of hardly any use. They will not listen to parents. Parents need to show them how to behave, include them in family activities etc. I suggest online counseling. Take care.

Hi, as your son is in his" teens" which is very crucial time period for him, there are hormonal fluctuations which he is going through and at the same time, you do have to guide him properly so that he shouldn't get spoiled in bad company. The important point here is, you should have patience and a good communication with him, just break the ice and make friends with him so that he could able to confide in you and start sharing the things openly with you. But listen to him patiently even if he is going in wrong direction because building up that faith and confidence in you will let you hold his hand and take him in the right direction!
