If an adult tells a teenage not to do something, what do you think the teenager will proceed to do?
The problem is, there's a lot of "I know better than you, so do as I say you little brat" sentiments flying around. If you want the get a lasting effect, you have to make them want to change their habits, not just tell them to.
To me, as my headphones got better and better over time, my volume levels went the opposite direction. While some of this can be attributed to growing up, I think another part of it was that better headphones showed me I didn't need to be a ball of tinnitus to get a satisfying listening experience. Lesson of the day; if you want you kids to turn it down, buy them a set of really expensive headphones!
