Yes this is happening to me too, no mods, not sure why there aren't enough reports as I've seen many people complain about this on other sites, but there's no option to "influence to be quiet" and it isn't just teen sims with this phase, but also child sims. It's extremely annoying.
It is extremely annoying and can trigger angry emotes from one or both of the parents and their siblings, too. But honestly, I thought it was a part of the gameplay since not all child/teen Sims go through this phase. I've been treating it like the "not getting enough attention" phase child/teen Sims go through and have been working it into the family story until they outgrow it. 🤷🏽♀️
