Haha MS, you are so right! 
By the time they reach the age when they have a mind of their own, their own ideas, beliefs etc, it's REALLY like A WALKING TIME BOMB! We always tell ourselves as parents, if kids grow up and can excel in their studies and still behave, it's a HUGE blessing. But if not, then at least be a good enough person and not cause troubles for us. I think as parents, we all face the same "kids grown up" issues. 
Like my mother always says, "Can study, study. Cannot study, go work and don't do bad things".
