What happened to that sweet kid you used to have who is now a teenager? The sweet kid is still
there inside. But they've just grown a bunch of new brain cells and will spend the next 10 years
learning how to socialize. Hence your teens care more about their peer's opinions than those
of their parents.

But you can understand your teens as they are growing up, and how to cummunicate with them as
a parent, which they still need. Personality plays a role in getting along with your teens and the
more you understand your teen's likes and dislikes, the easier it will be for you to provide
them with the slowly receeding boundaries that they still need.
