A lot depends on a teen's general behavior.
Some teens go through drastic (and potentially harmful) changes at ages 16 - 19. Their grades drop from A's and B's to D's and F's. They miss school or are chronically late for class. Their job performance drops and they lose job after job. Their nice friends are abandoned for kids who are always in trouble, with arrest records already. Despite having a paycheck, they never have any money and they get into debt.
But other teens go through changes that may be frustrating to their parents, but demonstrate a level of responsibility. Their school performance and attendance is consistent. They hold jobs, and fill the gas tank in the car. Their friends are supportive good kids, and similarly employed and on track to graduate. They come home after work or after a date. But these teens stop coming to mom for advice, and they get upset when asked questions about their lives. Gone are the days when you could give them cookies and milk at the kitchen table while they told you every little detail about what happened at recess and how annoying the kid at the next desk. When asked "how was your day?" the response is a grunt and a sneer (if you're lucky).
Which one is your son?
If it's the first description, then the answer to your question is no, and some serious professional intervention may be in order, or at least some crackdown from the parents on certain freedoms or privileges.
If it's the second, congratulations, you're raising a normal, independent kid who is on the path to employment, education, and the ability to productively function in society with friends and someday a family of his own.
I went through this with my son, starting at about that age. He'd go to school on time, his grades were good, he had two jobs at fast food and pizza places, he'd come home obviously sober, but just as obviously not wanting to chat with mommy, barely even saying hi.
After some frustration on my part, and some despair (thinking my son would never talk to me again) I asked him if we could establish a code text for the phones. As much as I wanted to sit and hear about his day, I realized that would have to wait for a time. But I just wanted to know if he was ok, and I wanted him to know that if the time came when he did need advice, I'd be patiently available. So we came up with a basic code.
I would text him "A & W?" and he would respond "A & W". A & W stands for Alive and Well. The understanding was that he was to reply to my text in a very short time, and if he didn't he realized that I would start calling and bugging him and worrying. He was really good about replying A & W and he understood that by simply reassuring me that he was ok that meant he wouldn't have to go into detail about every little thing. When we established the code, I made sure he understood that by graduating, staying employed, having good friends, being polite to us, staying sober, and not getting speeding tickets or worse, he would maintain the privilege of not having to answer a billion questions. If those standards slipped, he'd have to answer to us (or law enforcement or worse) in extreme detail. He agreed.
And sure enough there were a couple of years of A & W and not much else. Then in his 20s he began call just to say hi. He introduced girlfriends to us and asked if I would make some favorite meal for him. He now is 30 and for the last 6 or 7 years he's visited often (he lives out of state and has a college degree and an amazing career), he calls just to chat, he's willing to listen when I call. And I think it's because we gave him some leeway and some freedom when he was figuring out who he was as a young man.
Don't rush your son's development or force him. If he's staying out of trouble, staying employed, staying in school, and staying sober, then you stay patient. The time will come when he appreciates you and can actually say it in words.
