Not really - 15yo is the peak of ureasonableness. If they don't come
back soon after that you've got trouble long term.
Around here, the really expensive private schools send them on camp
for at least six months (way out in the bush). There they learn things
like - if you don't cook, you don't eat; if you don't wash your
clothes you've got no fresh undies; if you don't shut up and listen,
you spend the night cold and lost in the forest. Only way to deal with
a 15yo. Betty Windsor sent Charles out to do it at Timbertop (Geelong
Grammar) - look how well he turned out.
