Divorce Support Forums: anyone with teenagers?

I've got two teenagers, E (girl) is 15 and N (boy) is 13.
I can't believe that I'm soon going to have a 2nd one in diapers too...
E for the past 2 1/2 years has been going through the "I want everything pierced and want to look like a punk" stage...I was pretty lenient at first since she was a straight A honors student, but that went down hill pretty quickly. I can't blame it completely on the friends she choose but I believe that had a lot to do with it. I constantly tell her that when she is 18 she can pierce or tattoo whatever she wants but in the meantime, my house equals my rules and the gothic clothing and piercings are the first to go when her grades start to suffer.
N is girl crazy lately. He actually got straight A's all year long but I can see as he enters high school I'll have to keep my ears and eyes open and make sure he puts some effort into his schoolwork too. He's started with the teenager attitude issues. My house seems to be full of that lately!

Somebody told me a while ago when I laughed about his son being 16 and dating..."I only have one penis to worry about, you have a daughter so you have 'every other boys' penis to worry about."
