Not following rules.
Most of the teens by their very nature becomes rebellious, no parent can do anything about it because that is exactly how the nature works to progress ahead. Teens don’t like when they are told to do something with strictness, rule breaking becomes the coolest thing for them, it makes up their stories like how they bunked the school or how they got home late all drunk and wasted. The simple solution to this is do not dominate them, strict nature won’t work at all, only a loving advice can set them on the right path, talk with them as a friend, ensure them that they can talk about anything with you, and you will be amazed at the results.
Influence of bad company.

Trust your children and tell them this as well, that you trust them completely, this brings a sense of responsibility in them.
Addiction to gadgets and social media.
