Let the teenager take decisions and learn from the consequences of such decisions, sometimes people treat teenagers as little kids and expect them to obey every rule without questioning it and some of them can't confide in their parents that's why they sometimes become rebellious 2 Likes 2 Shares |

@op you see a lion attack a zebra today, but u see the same lion look away from a zebra tomorrow. What is the cause? Can teenagers be liken to that?.... Yes. U need one of tyler perry's film (i will tell u the title when i remeber it). all these have been the cause of teenager's waywardness: THE ROOT: the parents handling of there children, do u know no the evil some children does they will even praise them,from there it grows, or that the parents are bad role model. THE ENVIRONMENT,:how can u allow a child to watch blue film and ask her not to practicallised it,the friends of your child,do u know them. THE EXPERIMENT,;this the age nearly everybody on NL got disvirgined. THE ILLUSSION,:how do u tell someone he/she is been duped,that is how u handle her. THE CORRECTION:..... |

xynerise:Well first thing first. You must realise that stubbornness/rebellion is a spirit and it takes only a higher spirit to brake it. Set rules and enforce em to the letter... be a bit flexible to allow for some unpredictability. Discipline, not punishment, is more effective tool. I am speaking from experience. |

As long as he or she is 18, all u hve to do is advice, you'll be a coward to advice ur son not to have sex at d age of 18 when u had it at 16 without ur parents knowin...the best tin to do is taalk to him like a freind, let him feel confortable with u,advice him to be wise that's all, the moment u start shoutin and being aggresive to him, it wld jst make it worse...the fact is parents donr understand tht there are sometins that are inevitable, imagine my freinds mom told him not to engage in sex, and he is 22, to be honest tht isn't wise...african parents dnt knw hw to go abt stuff like dis, there are ways of handling parental issues than scolding and beating....and please don't quote tht bible verse that says "spare a rod and spoil the child" who knws if we are misinterpreting that, we have all heard of cases were mothers beat there child to death 2 Likes |

If you have open channels of communication with your child from day one then you will find it easier to emphasize with them. Sadly, a lot of Nigerian parents fail to see their own children as human beings. The only 'rebellious' child is one that is going out of its own way to sabotage him/herself. Beating a child is dumb parenting. |

xynerise:bring 2 or 3 stronger people who they are senior to. let the junior ones live in the same house with him. let them be well behaved, focused, disciplined and intelligent. the foolish senior will inevitably follow their lead. humans are known to behave better when they have something to loose. if he/ she doesnt buckle up, he/she will loose the respect of his junior ones. seeing that he cant beat them, he'll join them. same with stubborn wifes. just marry a better one. |

xynerise: If after much advise and talks he/she still refuse to change, send him/her to a Military academy or a juvenile home. Instruct them that its strictly for correction. Or Better still, identify what stimulates his behaviour and send him to a place where he will get a mixture of seriousness and very little of what stimulates him. When he finds out that the new environment is not up to his standards and they are not willing to go all the way with him, he'll most likely change. Note that the place you'll sent him/her to must be a place he/she won't be free to do anyhow but they must not be on his/her case all the time. Though it is by the grace of God that he/she would change because teenagers don't know how to think and don't have time reason over what they are told. They simply act randomly most times. xynerise: Teenagers don't really know what's best for them. They act on impulse and if/when the impulse is not set right early enough it becomes an habit that will be very hard to control. 1 Like |

Truckpusher:which parent would give such freedom to a 15 years girl to move wherever she wishes to without parental guidance. which peer groups? at 15 i was not allowed to paint my nails and paint my face until i was done with secondary school. I so much looked forward to it back then. all this rubbish that i am seeing where parents allow their 12. 13 to 14 years girls to start dressing like adult is very bad. why wont he child rebel against you when she decide to stretch are luck further by going out for an all night party at 15 , why wont she slam the door on you just because you are telling her what is right...goodness. I still treasure our mothers days of parenting and not all the parenting i am seeing these days. 2 Likes |

winner01:I am afraid that will not break her but rather push her closer to the guy. This girl is probably craving love and attention and also thinks it is cool to have a boyfriend and have sex at that age. Now, there is something . For most young people, the more you tell them to stay away from something , the more alluring the thing is and they do it. They are risk takers who like to break the rules and be adventurous. The girl should be asked to invite the boy over to the house and they should both be treated nicely. Of course the guardians can use that opportunity to understand the situation better and keep close tabs. You can talk about safe sex with both of them ( better to be on the safe side than be in denial, of course emphasis on the A). Get closer to the girl and create an environment (it could be telling her about your own past relationship adventures or just general boy-girl gossip) that would allow her to confide in you and with time you gently slip in advice. Make sure at this point you show that girl love and keep her close to you even if you disapprove what she is doing at the moment. Otherwise you might loose that girl forever. 2 Likes |

Break the teenager's ego by denying him/her some luxury, change the academic environment from being a day student to boarding student. Make sure he/she does holiday jobs in factory and finally let him stay in an orphanage for three days. The rebellious teenager will turn to most obedient person. You can be rebellious only in your comfort zone, but when the ugly side of life "smiles" at you, the spirit of rebellion disappears. 2 Likes 1 Share |
