many thanx/jazakAllah br/sr for v. useful tips
one v. important point to remember though is that we must always keep ourselves in their place.
a teenager wud not worry about wastin' precious time as we do and what we have learnt over years
they do think that its their time to relax after hard school work, or after salah or after readin' Qura'n
and that relaxation should b channelized to healthy activities like sports, visitin' museums,religious entertainments etc  as well and not only tv and computer/electronics(as they wud not giveup the later completely, except few, and they can learn good from these sources as well. we cannot keep them away "'cause the world is not a box")

however i do try to make them realize that concept of teenage in islam is diff than what it is in west 
in islam puberty imposes responsibilities as medically/hormonally as well a person is getting physically and mentally more mature so its expected from him/her to act in more responsible manner
therefore salah and fast becomes fard/compulsory as well around this time to disciplne the new adult
its then expected that he/she wud b more caring and sensitive to people around

whereas in the western culture with time the concept of enterin' teenage has somehow turned into bein' more careless, more childish, havin' right to b more intolerant and  more harmful to others, do whatever one wishes to without thinkin' of consequences, waste as much time as possible, find a girl/boy friend asap before mates start callin' "borin'", "lonely" etc

we need to inculcate correct concept re. teenage
