that sounds to me as if you answered your own question.
Frankly, I think that good education is that which raises a kid to be a (relatively) good teen. But yes, I do think teens shouldn't be left alone like that, though I find being strict isn't usually the best option. If you are strict, they might obey you at home and go have a blast in the real world, endangering and/or hurting themselves and others. I've seen cases like this before.
It is difficult, but I think the key is balance. -
I'm afraid that the teenage years are a bit late to start being concerned about instilling discipline.

It completely depends on the situation. Sometimes the course of action that will yield the best and fastest results is to stop trying to control them. Sometimes, firm boundaries are required.

I think you have to analyze why teenagers become "cocky" and/ or "arrogant".
"Cocky" is a confidence that is not backed up by experience and knowledge. That's very common for teens, as they are young, they don't know what's what, and are ready to take on the world.
"Arrogant" is demanding consideration and respect. Teens, I think, usually become arrogant when they are treated as adults without the responsibility that comes with adulthood.
So how does discipline come into this? Well, I think it is the parent's job to be sure that the teen knows where his or her place in the family and the world is, and prepare him or her for the future. A parent who is over-indulgent, sets no boundaries, and lets the child talk to him or her as if a peer is doing no favors. -
Sometimes. If they are using profanity against a parent, then yes, he/she needs to be disciplined. If he/she is just being cocky, then probably not. Teenagers are reconsidering everything that they have been taught in their lives and deciding what valoues to keep as their own and what to discard. Unfortunately, they do not use good communication skills to convey their feelings appropriately. A parent's firm reminder to speak respectfully should do the trick. Of course, there is a difference between speaking with an attitude and acting outrageously (which certainly warrants punishment).

Cocky arrogant teenagers needed discipline, this is why they are the way they are. Remember you will not always be there to save them from them selves.

adolescence is difficult to say the least. BUT - the attitudes of teens begins at birth. You can't just suddenly appear when a child is 14 and say - you will be different - it's a work in progress.
A warm involved parenting style at birth will produce a secure teen. However, the desire for autonomy may give them a prickly edge lol -
if they have ill manners as teens then the parents have waited too long. But... peer pressure works amazing wonders. Change the group dynamic...change the behavior.

I think it's a lot more than discipline that's needed...it starts from day one with the parents' respect and love for the child.
-
I find that everyone needs discipline. Children and adults alike. Mayhap different types, but discipline nonetheless.
-
Think back to your youth!....Weren't you exactly the
same?....We didn't have most of the things as kids today! -
As they grow older,the cocky arrogant ones end up joining "the flat nose society" They are easy to pick out in a crowd.LOL.

I think more discipline before they become teenagers would probably solve a lot of the problem

Of course they do but it's probably too late...discipline needs to start as soon as they start toddling around.
