Stepteen

This problem is part of a more general stepteen problem.

Or it can go in an inward direction, and result in a compulsive over-conformity, in which a stepteen feels he must rigidly conform in order to safeguard his place in the family and the stability of the family itself.

Grilling your stepteen about sexual activity and drug use sabotages your relationship.

Focus on understanding your stepteen's feelings rather than complaining about behavior.
