yeah your going through a change in your life and they are growing as parents its a hard thing however there is a couple of things you could do to better the house hold.... try doing what they are asking you to do, listen to what they have to say be opened minded (at least act like your paying them attention) talk with them...dont leave them in the dark abou things that is probably what is bothering them now...try staying home and having family outtings...there is nothing wrong wit being seen with your mom...she may buy you a couple of outfits you where dieing to buy...just try to change for the better..dont argue with them

Most of the fights that I see in my family between my teen neices and nephews and their parents are about the kids attitudes, tone and demeanor toward their parents.
(This may not be the case with you.)
The kids act like they think they know everthing, talk back to their parents and are generally uncooperative and unpleasant sometimes.
Your parents have lived longer and seen much more than you, and in spite of how it looks and feels to you, they most likely really do have your best interests in mind and love you very much. They want to guide you toward good things and protect you from bad things. Keep this in mind when you think they are being harsh and unreasonable.
This is probably just normal, teenage stuff you are experiencing. It's actually biologically wired into you to be moving away from your parents right now - it's the species way of insuring a well mixed gene pool.
Just try to be patient with them and listen more than you talk, which is good advice to anyone in any situation.

Conflict is a normal part of any relationship. The real trick is how well do you handle it.
Don't call each other names, and don't take it personally if someone else does not see your point of view. Give them the benefit of a doubt, and assume that they mean well, but just don't get it. Don't get impatient and accuse them of having bad motives, or of trying to ruin your life. These accuations are most likely untrue, and cause hurt feelings, which lead to more fights.

Your parents are your protectors. Even though you may not see their point of view or ways of doing things. Submit my dear. Your parents are responsible for you until you are 18 make their time with you easier by doing what is expected, as long as it is not abusive.

Start doing what they tell you to do with asking wh or making them tell you more than once. Trust me it will blow them away. They will give you more freedom if you prove yourself to be obedient and trustworthy. Treat them with respect.

Either they're always upset, stressed out, etc, or you're doing things to upset them. what are you fighting about all the time?
