There comes a time in every parent's life that they are no longer the center of their child's world. Chiildren begin listening to what their peers are telling them and not what you are saying. Being involved early on in helping your children with picking out friends can save you a lot of headaches when this time arrives. In addition, I suggest that you meet your children's friends and if possible their parents. This may give you some presence in your child's life at a time when they are doing everything they can to rebel against your beliefs and rules.
Hope this gives you some peace of mind, the teen years will end and it does get a little better as they approach the driving years and you have control over the keys to the car.
