You're 100% right. You should be treated the way they want to be treated.
It's easy for parents to fall into the because-i-said-so trap, and act like tyrranical Rulers instead of nurturing, guiding, caring parents. I think yours just need a wake up call. Sit them down (during a calm moment, not the heat of an argument). Tell them that you respect their rules and their home, but you feel bad about the WAY they talk to you. Give good examples. Don't be defensive. See if you can get through to them. Good luck!

yes children should be respected by their parents it goes hand in hand if a child i respectful they should expect the same from there parents if a parent is not respectful how can they expect a child to respect them at all if a parent tells a child for instance not to interrupt an adult then i think that, that parent should show the same respect and not interrupt a child or another adult how do they expect a child to learn unless through example of what they are teaching them you know the saying do as i tell you not what i do well to a certain extent that is true unless you are being a bad example on that child they are always going to do as the parent does it is just the Natural thing for them to do no matter how old they are especially if they are teenagers that is when most kids rebel against authority

I think a lot of times parents don't know how to deal with kids and give them respect but still discipline them too. Parents should respect their children, but it's a lot more difficult for them to show respect for their children because they probably never had it as a child growing up and don't have any model to use a a guide. However just by using my experience with me and my own siblings and our relationships to our parents, it is a lot easier for your parents to calm down and give you the respect you deserve when you're calm and rational about things when you talk to them. People a lot of the time have trouble giving kids respect because they are kids, but if you show them that you can be mature about situations, and sometimes this means taking their crap with a closed mouth and a blank face, then they won't know what to do and will stop yelling a lot sooner.

Respect is given in quantity. In a sense. From the day you are born and on. As an infant, most things are forgiven due to lack of you knowing any better. The older you get the more things are not forgiven. And your parents loose respect they had for you. The respect your parents have for you today. Is due to their experience with you. You to them. You might not think it's fair. But neither do they. Sorry

well as a parent and former teacher i do believe that respect is part of a good relationship
having said that my own parents were very like you are describing yours - and it hasn't made for a good relationship as an adult with them either
i think that play it by the rules for now but learn how NOT to do it to your own kids when you start a family of your own

As a former teenager, I have to say the following.
You should respect them. Respect their command over you. (Until you're out of THEIR house)
If you TRUELY are showing the proper respect for your parents, they will have no reason to yell at you.
I know you don't care about my opinon (for you will probably find it the wrong one) but try and use the following words: Yes, sir.
It got me out of more trouble than I can remember.

Parents aren't perfect, by no means, but the bottom line is that they are the parents and that in itself deserves your respect. Don't let it get to you when they use hurtful words when they shouldn't. Just make it a point to be better than that when you have children. I did.

Yeah, I mean but you have to respect your parents. Don't smart mouth them.
Because, If you don't point one for you, because you can make a point.
Next time they yell at you, say 'Hey, I respect you, and you need to respect me. I am a human being just like you.'
Hope that helps you.
live well, laugh often, love much!

You will find the older you get the smarter your parents get. Don't do things to make them yell at you and you won't have to worry about it. Clean your room, do your homework, be in by curfew, and stay off the phone. You will find they will miraculously become less combative when you start growing up and being responsible.

Parents who yell are parents who don't know how to communicate with their child/children.
Parents should use a strict voice when angry and hear their child out
if they're child does something as serious as drugs then they shouldn't be afraid to ground that little bastard until he forgets what the sun looks like.
