In my experience, when people say their teenager is no problem, it's because of one of these:
1) Mom is delusional
2) Mom is clueless about what teenager does
3) Mom sends kid off to camp for summers while she tours Europe
4) Parents expectations are low.
5) Kid gets good grades and never gets in trouble. This in it self can be:
a) Kid has no social skills and keeps to herself
b) Kid is desparetely looking for approval, in which case the rebellious stage will kick in later - like when kid is in her 30'sRemember - it's the kids job to test boundaries. It's the parent's job to give them boundaries to test.
Now, to the practical part - what's the math problem. I've been known to tutor math on occasion;)
