Know exactly what you mean. My 16 yr. old was a great kid, but now I guess I'll have to wait till the "Martians" bring back his brain, 'cause it sure isn't the one that he was born with...
I'm sure you'll get answers from other like thinking teens, (bad grammar, and spelling included) saying that try talking to him, give him a break, it's hard growing up now days, you just don't understand, yada, yada, yada.
Don't buy into it. Keep being a parent! Keep it REAL, as they like to say. Don't "chill out". Parenting is the hardest jobs that any of us will ever have, and always trying to do it right is even harder. Your son, and every teen on this forum will learn this on their own one day (after their brains are returned)...

Ha! Tons? Try millions! I went thru the same thing - still do from time to time. But the days get better as they get older and mature. My son wrecked $20K worth of cars in 7 mos! and now wants me to gt him another one!
Always be firm, fair and consistent in your discipline. Remind him your are the adult and he is the child (they hate it when we refer to them as children!!!). Make sure he understands that for every action, there is a positive or negative reaction (physics anyone???)
Let him fall on his face a few times - I did - I had too. But my son, as he gets older, is my proudest accomplishment in my life and I tell him that on a daily basis. It makes him feel guilty then. :)

We go through a lot at school and things with our friends. Trust me I know, I'm 16. At times we can be a handful but the best thing you can do as a parent is to be understanding and caring.

I have this problem with my parents. They don't like me very much for reasons unknown. Talk to him and tell him that you've been noticing he argues with you a lot and you don't like it. You want to stop the argueing and just want to work on getting along better. That's what I would want my parents to do. It might not work for everyone though.
