I'm certain that is the most common issue, but I hope you don't take the teen's fault for granted. I was likely guilty of all those behaviors as a teenager, but my parents were also extremely unstable, and good at hiding it. Learning empathy as you mention was a huge help, but learning when to remove myself from a situation and completely disregard them was important too.
