You know what? Stay at home! My brother and my mum hardly ever get on...its because they're so alike...clash of personalities. You never said how old you are...when I was 12-15 me and my parents were at each others throats all the time. PUBERTY!!!!
Now im 18 and my mum is my best friend...my parents always help me out and i dont have to pay bills or cook or clean. You will always have money while your at home because all you'll probably have to pay is board. Try and talk to your parents and make them listen to how you feel..if they knew how you felt im sure theyd want to help you feel more comfortable at home. Hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon..Chin up!! xx

Never be in a hurry to move out! Bills, cooking, cleaning, rent, mortgage, council tax, the list goes on..... make the most of being at home. Why are you arguing? Your Mum & Dad are special, treat them with respect and they will do the same. Make an effort to spend time with them, don't do the 'sulky teenager'. Theres no need to SHOUT! I'm guessing you're nearly an adult so now's the time to act like it. If you have a problem with something, talk about it before going off on one. I know this probably isn't always all down to you but make the effort and show your mum and dad what a great daughter you are!

Talk to your parents about establishing some ground rules, this doesnt have to be like a prison just explain you want to help create peace. Try washing up without being asked, make a cup of tea for your folks, ask your parents about when they were young, v boring but they will feel you are making an effort. Anything worthwhile takes effort. Good Luck!! Also, save whatever money you can.

Sit down with your parents and explain your feelings in an adult manner. Keep everything calm throughout the discussion and explain to them that you want to argue less and communicate more with them. The more you act like a grownup, take on responsibilities, and know what they expect of you - the better a relationship you will have with them.

Sit down and talk to your parents.make some rules and abide by them..both you and your parents.Do your share of helping around the house/and or pay rent.Put money into a savings account so you can move sometime.Buy and cook your own food if possible.

You are living under their roof and so must respect their rules the sooner you realise this the better you will get on
Tell them how you feel and what you want and try and work out a compromise

Hi,the first thing is to stop shutting your self in your room.Have you got friends to go out with.Try to have conversations with your parents.Its tough growing up bet you think your parents are against you & know nothing try to remember they were once your age going through everything you are.Good Luck

Try to find another way to express yourself without screaming and shouting.

First thing, quit arguing and fussing with them... That would help...
