Socialization practices can really change how teenagers behave, but there are some big challenges in the way.

Challenges:

1. Peer Influence: Many teens care more about what their friends think than family or society. This can lead to bad choices.
2. Inconsistent Messaging: When different groups send mixed messages about what's right or wrong, it can confuse teens and make it harder for them to change for the better.
3. Environmental Factors: Things like income level and cultural background can greatly influence a teen’s behavior, making it difficult to change.

Solutions:

1. Clear Communication: If everyone around a teen shares the same positive values, it can help them behave better.
2. Support Systems: Building strong mentorship and community programs can give teens the guidance they need.
3. Intervention Programs: Special programs designed to help with specific bad habits can also make a difference.
