Teenagers are hard and some can be very rebellious. They might be hurt because you probably didn't give them the attention they wanted. But you still need to be respected. You need to sit down with them and not be defensive, let them talk and don't interrupt them. When they finish what they had to say, thank them for their opinion but tell them why you do what you think best and why.
If you hit them there's a big chance they might swing back. You can always punish them in a way were there's no touching and actually get better results. I don't know how bad your situition is hopefully not bad to were you need to call the law, but if you need to don't hesistate.
