Hello Stisn,

In this sentence by using 'all' it is a complete negation of the succeeding statement. It means all teenagers with no exception.

Partially you could use 'some' or 'many' depending on the number you want to convey. If it is a majority you will use 'many'  or ' a great number of 'and if it is just a minority you could either use 'some' or 'a small number of teenagers...'

Answer
