Unfortunately IME most poor parents don't catch on to the fact they are the problem until it's too late. I know I didn't. If the kid is uncontrollable at 13-14 yo it's pretty likely he's going to be uncontrollable forever. The time to "nip it in the bud" is from birth to 12 yo or so on up till they move out. You can't fix a problem child overnight. Been there, done that, got the tee shirt- in spades. My problem child is 23 and just now sort of starting to get it. In s few instances coming down hard at 16-18 yo works, but it's likely the kid will be a druggie/drunk/whatever by then.
It's too bad we came up with this Dr Spock/permissive parenting crap. My parents did that. It was fine for me and my youngest brother, we were simply good kids. My younger sister and brother weren't. Sister died, next younger brother is a drunk/druggie loser. My folks thought being our "pals" was the way to do things.
You have to pass a test to get a drivers license. You don't to raise a kid/ Hence- our culture.
