Giving Teens Advice

Why can't teens see that when elders tell them about experiences, they don't seem to listen? Do they really HAVE to go through each and every experience and learn how to get up after they fall to learn all about life? I wish it wasn't so. My daughter is pretty good about listening to what I have to say, but then again, I don't tell her what to do, but try to give her different ideas so that she can think about things and make her own choices in life. I talked to my granddaughter this weekend, who is also a teen, but nearly an adult, and I hope and pray that she heard what I had to say about things....especially about guys. I guess only time will tell if they actually hear me or not. How do you deal with giving your teen advice?
