what makes Teenagers so disruptive,defiant,rebellious?

Only for those who don't grow up.
That's why every generation complains about the youth of the next - each generation grows into a society that wants to keep the status quo.
it is not you stupid old man
that's stupid, I'm going out with my friends and you can't stop me
I think a lot of it has to do with parents who just aren't good parents! you can't send a parent or parents to parenting school!
although perhaps they should!
Teenagers can be a handful but if you give them something to use as a means of creating interest they can be well behaved.
Sports, Music, a Fun Hobby or Interest can really give them something to work with and it can keep them under control.
many do it. Just that at the same time, so many don't.

I hardly think personal insults are a suitable response to a simple statement of opinion.
You have no clue you troll. Now get out there and have some kids so they can be perfect like you.
I raised 3 teenage kids and I have the high blood pressure to prove it. They took 10 years off my life but I love them dearly.
Rebellion is as natural as breathing. I couldn't chastise them too much, especially when I think back on my crazy youth. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, eh. The two sons were a bit wild but my daughter nearly sent me over the edge. Nothing gets me riled up more than a kid with a foul mouth. She sure knew how to get under my skin. Now you'd swear maple syrup runs through her veins. The sweetest person I know. Kind, caring, fun to be around.

The best thing about teenagers is they grow up, and move out when they're 18.
Oh, right, wait a minute...some never do!

If I had any son's I'd give them the same offer my old man did. $50 and a sleeping bag.
yeah some don't have the means to.. yet.
And IMO, that's wrong!
Cold Parents like that are just wrong! that is not how you get your child/Teenager to become a good person..
but that's just MY Opinion.
The means or the will to make the sacrifices?
Cold? There is nothing cold about it. I didn't spend 18 years of love and emotionally building my daughter too have her fail miserably at life and end up a loser dangling by the neck with a pair of pantyhose from crack house curtain rod.

Not all sacrifices are weighed equally.
if you do not have a good paying job and you aren't able to get a better job due to skill or lack of experience then you can't do much about it.
if you do have a good paying job and you can reasonably afford to be out on your own but you choose not to be, that's a problem.
you cannot go out on your own if you are not able to make it work! and JUST getting by with nothing but the clothes you have and a bed is not reasonable. you need to be able to live your life and have money to use for your daily life.
Ah, but it's one way (an age-old way, in fact) to get your teenager/soon-to-be-adult to become an adult. It depends on your desired goal: do you want to raise an adult, or a 40 year old child?
My first was gone at 16, but I'm expecting to a lot of my second during university and after.
18 is only legally an adult. I would have trusted mine to be on her own at 16. She is still here until May when she uses up her scholarship at the local university.
Actually, no, I don't like Old Fashioneds. More of a single malt, neat, sort of guy.
