Me too, just like @ndy. It's a difficult age, and a person has not fully developed a sense of self at that time.. To develop this they need a degree of independence and puberty in humans serves to create this. If kids don't fight their parents, often parents continue to treat them as children forever.
These growing pains are hard for an individual and their environment. But they are far removed from service to self behavior. Puberty never made anyone evil. Wanderers tend to have an exceptionally hard time at that age. Ask anyone on this forum.
He will really have to figure these things out on his own. For you... Don't take it to personal, the things he goes through are not related to you as parents but a biological sequence. All you can do is see the good in him, keep him out of trouble and reward adult behavior.
Good luck with that
