Communication is the key to any good relationship. It sounds like your dad does not know how to communicate very well. If you haven't already tried talking to him about this issue during a time that there is never opinions involved, try to just bring up how you feel to him. Let him know that you would like your opinion to be valued. Respect his opinions but let him what you think. Don't argue, but just give your own insight. Approach this in a mature manner and give your opinions in a mature manner. Before giving an opinion, rethink what it is before you let him know, and he may have more respect that you thought through what you are saying and possibly did research on what you think.

You must be under the age of 18 and a teenager. In my house it was pretty much the same thing. When I was young it wasn't so bad, but by the time I was a Junior in High School we always seemed to fight (only verbally).
When a teenager starts to develop they want some freedom to make their own decisions, even the bad ones. They want to be able to control more of their life--in other words they are becoming adults. It is hard for the teenager to understand this, because they are going thru a lot of changes.
If you could sit down with your father and tell them that you are not a little one any more (don’t say baby or child or be confrontational). To turn into an adult you need a little room to make your own decisions and try to do things your own way. It is up to YOU to be diplomatic and polite in this discussion, and to not let yourself (or your father) get angry. That’s going to be hard to do, in your father’s eyes you are still his child. Be sure to tell him that you love him and that you don’t want to become an adult overnight, you want to grow into it, and you would like his support and help.
Good Luck.

If you love your dad, what you say, say it with love. Dads always want what's best for their kids in this crazy world. As kids get older and prove in the things they say and do that they are capable of facing the challenges in life responsible manner, they will get their way. Try to talk to your parents like a Friend, they've done a lot for you because they love you. Being nasty or unfriendly is counterproductive.

If you're under 18, living for free in his house, getting fed and clothed, his opinion is your opinion. When you get your own house, car, insurance, clothing, and food, then you can have whatever opinion you want.

my dad was the same way....he ticked me off to...
i sure wish he was here to tick me off some more..
moral to this.......don't complain he will be gone out of your life soon enough....just love him and TRY to get him to see things your way.also remember he is your FATHER
and he does know what is best for you....even if you don't think so...maybe you can write him a letter i am sure he will read it...let him see that u r growing up and have opinions of your own!!!!

Give your opinion anyway, if you respect him...he should also have a level of respect for you and that includes at least hearing what you have to say!

from experience i know how you feel! try sitting down and talking to your dad. we feel our dads are trying to run our lives etc. but what they are really do is trying to help us because they love us alot and don't want nothing to happen to us. so be patience with your dad. talk

is he a scorpio? ;) sounds like one..or an aries? heheh when they ae set in their ways it is difficult to get them on the same page as you want them. Try to ask him if he minds taking A moment to hear you out on whatever issue it is and to please let you finish before he jumps the gun. thats a tough one, good luck.
