How naive are you? Teenagers since the beginning of time see what they can get away with. It's just part of being that age.

Not naive at all. You're painting kids with an extremely broad brush.

I knew kids in junior high that smoked weed and drank alcohol until they were blackout drunk on the weekends, and then there are those kids who are still almost like...well KIDS that still enjoy a little bit of disney channel or cartoons, they go to school, have their sports activities after, enjoy pixar type movies etc.

Theres just VERY VERY different types of kids out there.

Also, there were those that were doing sexual shite in the movies on Fridays, and then there were those kids that were probably at their church doing some youth group activity.

Some kids actually respect their parents to a degree EVEN IN the rebellious years.

There's a difference in a kid that rebels via sneaking out of the house to have sex and do drugs while maybe getting caught trespassing in some abandoned house by the police, and a kid who rebels by running back to their room and giving their parents the silent treatment for the next day. The former case can effect that child for a long time if the pattern continues unchecked.

Just like when people get angry. Some husbands get angry at their wives and may hit their wives, most others might get angry at their wives and just walk in the other room. HUGE DIFFERENCE in how they respond to the anger. Sure both get angry, but the response varies greatly.
