it could never end, It depends on when your child matures and finds something to be responsible about. I'm 20 I had my daughter at 19 I think I got responsible the moment I found out I was pregnant, the mindset I had just a couple of years ago compared to now are totally different, I have a lot more respect for my parents, and I take care of all my living costs and bills without their help. If you want your teen to grow up, then have them move out once they turn 18 or charge rent. Most likely they will respect you more.

i assume it became dropping the "I" element of me. I forgot that I had the potential and the means to stand on my own legs, proud and tall... That I had a voice of my very own and that the whole worldwide became waiting to pay attention it :D. while my ex broke up with me, i became shattered and broken. It became an exceedingly stable element simply by fact i found out that i'd desire to by no ability be too based on all people, and that my desires are what i'm right here for specifically. That relationship resulted in such airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dirt and crap, friendship seems to be the only sparkling element in existence... and that i purely wanna save it that way. I actual have astonishing acquaintances, and all my stress is long gone. i'm able to experience the version familiar, i'm plenty extra valuable and much extra stable. adventure is a complicated instructor; she provides the assessments first and the lesson afterwards. yet surprisingly, this methodology of training sinks the lesson deeper into our blood better than any way else.

It really depends on the person, some young folks mature faster then others, some stay kids well into their twenties and thirties and some just plainly never grow up. I practically raised myself from age 14 but I was kicked out of my mothers home. Some kids are forced to grow up faster. I believe if you act respectful and do what needs to be done and obey both God's laws and man's then you are old enough and have shown your responsible.

The kids eventually mature but some earlier than others. When they answer you back let them know it's unacceptable - it's all you can do. Just remember that to get respect you have to give respect even if it's your teenager. Pick your battles wisely & let the little ones go....e.g. who cares if they dye their hair blue - it grows and they get sick of it eventually. Most of the time they are looking for a reaction.
Anyway, I lived through it - twice, and so can you.

The fewer responsibilities a person has, the more likely he or she is to act like a child and be rebellious to parents. If a person has rent and car payments and a boss and taxes and even a family to consider, they suddenly learn that their parents have more experience than they appreciated before. Everyone needs help with life's problems and you are happy to get advice from someone who has 'been there' = suddenly you realize your parents have been through the same thing, they love you and they want to help you.

There is no set age.Every teenager is different in how they mature emotionally.In case you haven't noticed there are some very unresponsible adults out there. I do believe it has a lot to do with how we are raised starting at a very young age.

Probably once you are out of college. I've been out of college for 4 years and I pretty much get along with my parents (but I only see them about once every couple of months so) and I dont make tons of stupid decisions. I go to work, pay my bills, dont go out and party every night.

Agreed with Will.
I know this guy at my school (high school) and he still plays with toy trucks. he makes paper planes and throws them at the teacher. He also makes shadow puppets and brings play dough to school. Guess some people never grow up. Kinda funny if you think about it.

When it comes to you and your parents I don't think that it ever kicks in...I'm 20 years old and still argue and talk back to my mom, not something I'm proud of but it happens...and my bf is 25 and he still does it and I know many older people who do it so I think it's just something with parents lol

If you are having such a problem with your teen talking back, maybe you should consider that you REALLY ARE doing something wrong.
