2 paths to adulthood...which will your teen take?

Raising teenagers is a frustrating business. We are not sure how much freedom to give them or how much responsibility they can handle. We try to set limits, but we get lost in dealing with their defiance adn counterwill. We are not sure when rebellion is healthy or when it is a sign of a deeper problem. Interacting with them is confusing. Sometimes they behave like young children, yet at other times they seem adult-like. One thing is clear: We have a responsibility to help them cross the bridge from childhood to adulthood successfully.
