Respect for others is an essential element of a productive learning environment. Is your teen disrespectful? Establish guidelines for behavior now. Remember you are the parent and you are in charge!
Here are some ideas to try:
Make a list of acceptable behaviors. “In our house, we don't ... ” (use bad words, call people names, leave a mess for someone else to pick up, borrow without asking, etc.).

At school or on the playing field, teens know that they need to follow the rules. It should be no different at home. Here's how a simple set of rules will help everything go much smoother:
Change misbehavior by setting positive goals. Concentrate on what you want your teen to do, not what you don't want him to do.
Say what you mean and mean what you say. Clearly communicate expectations and limits. If you must enforce a rule, enforce it every time.

Principal of Hopkinton Middle School Alan Keller recently sent the below letter to all Middle School Parents due to issues that have come up with 8th grade students;
"Dear Grade 8 Parents:
In-front of a packed house at Wayland High School, the Hillers took down the Warriors 53-48 in the Central Division 2 Quarter Finals. The 1st quarter was a good offensive battle.
“In the four years I’ve been a cheer dad and I can’t remember a season more difficult, more trying, than one the Hopkinton Hiller Cheerleaders are having this season. There have been injuries and of course the snow has made things very difficult (disrupting practices and tournaments), but still these wonderful athletes find a way to win. The Hopkinton Hiller Cheerleaders went to the South regionals hoping to do well. They went up against some very good cheer teams, the best of southern part of the state. Only one team managed a higher score than this wonderful group of athletes.
This spring we are introducing our new athletic registration program FamilyID. Parents and students will register for all sports using Family ID. Please visit the Athletic Department webpage on the Hopkinton Public School website. Here you will find the link to sign up for Family ID and register your child. Please register by March 13th
Please note a hard copy of your child’s current physical (within 13 months) must be on file in the Athletic Trainers Office not with the nurse.
