In 9 out of 10 cases a teen will go off because it is their way of dealing with their issues and when they mature or get tired of their partying they come back. By kicking them out and not tolerating them you can close the door to then returning. Of course if it is affecting other family members (or in general) consult with a professional.

The key is accept them, support them and if your a parent of such a child it doesn’t mean that your a bad person but you never know what you might’ve don’t to cause thjs
