Teenage is the most difficult phase for all parents.Teenagers are prone to be rebellious and also tend to be influenced by their peers. Getting them to avoid 'junk food' and soda is almost next to impossible. The best bet is to strike a healthy balance by being a little creative and trying to create interesting but healthy versions of foods that your teenagers love. The diet needs to be diverse, yet should provide all the nutrients required for growth and development.
