Why do teens stay up so late?
I have a theory:
Because they want to avoid the stress given by their parents when they are up.
When play and do stuff in the morning or day, your parents are there to tell you off or correct you or critique you or give comments that are mostly redundant. When you're doing whatever at night, your parents wont be there to so caringly provide you with all that unwanted attention. That amount of attention would arise to stress and that stress would cause a teenager immense amount of frustration that might lead to utter disgust of the family heredity and also environment. This would cause a very carefully hidden fact that parents are just there because most of them bring upon knowledge that has to be firstly filtered into current generation context to be implemented (however this rarely happens and all that happens is mostly to the torment of the child - what a shame). Thus, staying up late would be the best solution since teens have literally no way of being financially independant, thus cannot buy a house or rent a place far enough from their parents to have a life of their own. Their educational qualification would get them mostly a job in the cafeteria that would be totally sufficient for a street side beggar's lifestyle (no offense). And since it is somewhat biologically proven that teenagers are unable to sleep early, maybe evolution has turned to sleeping patterns this time and brought upon a change of circadium rhythm for teenage periods to avoid the most prominent stressors in their life - you-know-who.
Don't you just wonder why the generation gap exists? It's not always the child's fault. Sometimes, it's just the parents that think they are too high in the family heirachy to try and come down to the child's level and thinking. Or either they are just too stubborn and traditional, that they find the values of the new generation to be against them, thus to be wrong and unconditionally irrational.
Do you know where we messed up? We learned it from our parents...
