Shy_bear is right: educate yourself about attachment disorders (being a teenager, he/she has probably been in numerous homes). I had a 14 yo boy: attachment disorders but not a bad kid.
Also, have rules and punishments written out so they can see what their consequences will be if they disboey you.
One more thing: I learned this from a psychiatrist: it takes about a year for him/her to get used to you/comfortable with you. During that time, he/she will probably talk back to you, teachers and other adults and possibly call you names. Learn all you can!!
