All these things make sense. I have learned to also let them start to take responsibility for their consequences, you will not be in the world with them all the time.
Be honest, like someone said, don't sweat the small stuff, choose your battle.
Be there to listen, respect their space and privacy. Trust that even though as teens they become subhuman, they will pull out of it and have a sense of respect and kindness and empathy for others if you model that.
(I finally learned that going ballistic at times does nothing except get tears from all and a sore throat) lol
