'terrible impression' is the definition.
'imprint' can be an answer for 'impression' (imprint is a kind of impression). I'm not certain of the 'terrible' bit.

'impertinent teen left' is the wordplay.
'left' suggests deleting specific letters (some letters have left).
'impertinent' with 'teen' taken away is 'IMPRINT'.

Can you help me to learn more?
