KrystalE answers:

Although most teens outgrow bedwetting, about 1-2 percent of teens still wet the bed at least part of the time. So you are not alone in this. However, if you are still wetting the bed at this age, your concern should be a possible medical issue. Once a medical issue has been eliminated, you may want to consider keeping a food and drink diary. Sometimes certain foods or beverages, including citrus and caffeine can trigger bedwetting because of bladder irritation, or increased urine output. Also limit fluids about two hours before bedtime and make sure you go to the bathroom more often before going to bed. Amy Carey’s article, "But I'm Too Old to Wet the Bed..." Support and Hope for Teens With Nocturnal Enuresis, specifically addresses the issue of bedwetting in teens. http://www.goodnites.com/na/bedwetting-education/articles/but-im-too-old-to-wet-the-bed-support-and-hope-for-teens-with-nocturnal-enuresis.aspx
