Parenting a teen

What do you do when they don't do what you ask?
When what you ask is the bare minimum?
When  you have lowered your expectations so you don't get disappointed?
And then you are disappointed anyway.

What do you do when you invite someone into your family, but they do not contribute?
How much should you expect from a 17 year old (who wishes they were 21, but also wants to be 12 again)
Synthetic hormones, already damaging fertility
Drugs and alcohol, who knows what is true
How do you make rules when you broke them at that age yourself?
