Now you have raised a baby first and then a child, so now its time to raise a teenager. The bigger they are, the bigger problem they bring. At the same time you will develop your own skills during the road. But the road might be bumpy and you will never know what to expect. It might be calm or it might be a stormy journey, and not all but a lot of it is a reflection of your own behavior in different situations, and some of it is the personality of the teenager itself.
