I used to get into arguments with my parents about everything! Clothes, make up, hair, boyfriends, going out, coming back (time limits etc). I wanted more freedom as I thought I was mature enough to come home at say, 11.00 (when I was 15 or 16) when they wanted my back at 10.00 - far too early! We didn't resolve the situation so I left home at 17! Not advisable!
The only way to go is to have a compromise - if they say one thing and you think another, try to meet half way. If they don't agree to their solution, you'll just have to accept it, I'm afraid - after all they are your parents and they do what they think is right to protect you and let you grow up as a decent person. Best of luck!

I am not a teen, but I have been there. Teens just argue with their parents, it's a fact of life. Teens try to show their independence and the parents have a hard time letting go and letting the teens have independence. And the parents are trying to protect their kids the best they can. Most teens don't see this, so they argue about everything.
The best thing to do, I think, is to try to stay calm, compromise the best you can with them (if they will compromise), and pick and choose what you will argue about. Maybe ask them why they have this rule or that rule. It may surprise you 'why' they have those rules, and then youmay see why they enforce them. Some things should NOT be compromised tho (having you check in with them, going where you said you were going and with whom you said you were going with, etc) for your own safety.
Be thankful that your parents even have rules set for you. There are some parents that don't set rules for their kids, that don't care, that don't make sure that their kids are alright, then wonder why the kids run away or are killed or hurt, or whatever. And be thankful that your parents are alive to talk with you, protect you, etc. My parents died a few years ago so I can no longer talk with them in person. I miss them soooooooooooooooooo much, especially my mom. One day, your parents won't be there for you to talk with, to protect you, to help you when you need it, to listen to you, etc. Thank God every day that they are there and try everything to keep the lines of communication open and keep a good relationship with them. It will be worth it in the long run.
Good luck!

Any subject really? Specially my dad coz they think that they are parents and have more experience than their kids. No doubt today's generation does not have experience when it comes to what happened in the old days but the saying is true "Its difficult to take advise from your own siblings". Well, I'd say don't argue at all. Just keep the topic where it is and don't persue it more, as people age they love to talk alot which gets them into an argument.

Anything and everything. Teens argue with their parents; fact of life. When you have kids, they will argue with you too! Wait and see

my mom's probably the most conservative person on the planet..so what definately bugs me is she won't let me wear anything. or say LOADS of words like dumb or stupid.
solution? i stretch the right to say dumb around the house. i say it occassionally...which she doesn't mind. so it's all good. i'm still working on the clothes one thoâ¥
