Obviously, Louise, you are growing up. You are going to ask about things that just zipped past you before.
Eventually, you have to accept parents for who they are, and they are going to have to return the favor. You are seeing flaws in people that were flawless before. Time and experience form these opinions. They speak from their experince. Try to give them that.
When you have conversation it is key that you respond and not react to what is being said. Just respond. Take a breath, know what you want to say, and say it with resolve. It is important that other people feel you respect them. Do things that foster their respect for you.
Show your parents that you are becoming a young adult through your behaviors: do your homework, be where you say you're going to be, be home when you say you will be home, tidy up without others having to tell you. Learn responisble decision making. (This takes practice, some of us learn, some never do.)
Avoid topics that create misery. This is called discretion. Some things are better left alone.
Go to your guidance counselor at school and ask to see them for a little while. All of your conversations are confidential. They can give you a parents point of view and help you anticipate how your behaviors/conversations will affect them and their reaction to it.
You can do this, darlin'. It's hard sometimes ...but it is just what we call growing up. You can do this. Help them to learn who you are becoming. Teach them. Teachers are calm and kind and firm in their resolve.
Be the Teacher.

The only person/people that would know the answer to that question would be you, and the people you are with the most. If you figure out, they are right by saying these things, Stop doing it. You are not only making the lives of people around you miserable, and not making it very easy on yourself. If what they are saying is not true, ignore them and focus on other things in life. You only live once make a good impression on the people around you and in your life, all it can lead to is happiness. Just my opinion! Good luck, take care, and have a good day.

I don't know you so I wouldn't know, but if you are asking, it is probably true. You may be trying to get attention.
There are much better ways of getting attention, and positive attention is much better than negative attention.
When you are a baby, you learn to walk and talk. From teenager on, you need to work on your people skills. Learn how to talk to people like adults. Respect the right of other people to have their own opinion. Make small talk. It is a valuable skill to learn, and this is the best time for you to practice.
If you respect others, they will be more likely to respect you.

Well, people who have to aggitate others are doing so because they crave attention and are immature. Is that you? You know, you can get attention in positive ways, why don't you try applying yourself and get out of your selfish ways? Find a place to volunteer, like with kids or pets, a place you can accomplish something with all of that pent up anger and jealousy. Kids and animals don't care who you are and they give you love without judging. Then you'll have something to feel proud of that you can talk with others about without making an a*ss of yourself.

I am a button pusher. I find myself starting arguments with my husband just because it is funny to watch him get irritated. So, if you like watching other people get irritated or you like to start arguments because you like to watch other people squirm... you probably are a button pusher too...
