did you also dislike your parents when you were 14-17?

It's only a stage. I was in the same boat as you, as were probably most others in here. They only want what's best for you but it probably doesn't seem that way. One day you'll look back and may realize that they loved and cared for you more than you originally thought.
Hang in there, kiddo. Keep smiling :-)))

It's pretty much a universal thing with teenagers to go through that stage in their lives.....I mean, the fact that their parents are alive and breathing is embarrassing at that point.
I remember being mortified by my mother when I was in high school (back in the late 70s) because in the summer she would wear tank tops and halters with no bra and she didn't shave under her arms (she was an old hippie). I mean, like I wanted to die if any of my friends saw me with her and I could not believe she would go out in public like that. I told her about it years later and she couldn't believe I was so upset by that....we both laughed.
It's a normal thing and actually it's part of how adolescents start "breaking away" from their parents and becoming autonomous human beings and supposedly mature adults someday.
I'm still going thru some of it with my son....he's 17, will be 18 in Sept and starts his first year of college the end of Aug. He gets a little bit of an attitude sometimes, kind of moody, if I ask too many questions he acts as though I'm trying to give him the third degree about his life when I'm just trying to be interested, he never wants to do anything with me or his stepfather anymore. But it's normal and I accept that....you should too.

Everyone dislikes their parents when they are 14-17. That's how you develop your autonomy. All part of growing up. By the time you reach 18 things (might) change. Once you 21 you won't care, because then you can really do whatever you want.

I started to not get along with my parents when I was 14 then it lasted through 15, 16-ish. Now my mom and I are best friends (I'm 19, though.)
It's just a stage. You'll grow out of it. It'll be okay.

Adolescents that age are full of desires and the need to establish an identity but have not learned the internal constraints of adulthood. Parents have to provide the constraints externally which always causes varying amounts of strife. Wise parents do it with love and humor; less talented parents do it with conflict. Learn from the experience and do it right if and when you have children.

Yes, I did dislike my parents when I was in my teens. They complained because my grades weren't as good as my brother's grades, they yelled at me because my room wasn't as clean as they thought it should be, they didn't like my friends, wouldn't let me learn to drive (I didn't learn to drive until I was 48) and I thought they were just the worse parents around. Now I realize that I could have had worse parents.

Yes, I had problems with my parents because I went through a teen rebellion and wanted to act the adult and be left alone and independent. To me it was a natural phase or a rite of passage. You are growing from childhood and blossoming into womanhood but always respect your parents for they do love you.

When I was your age, I disliked my mother a lot. I am a lot older now and understand her better because I went through a lot of life experience. It's natural. Some of us wish we had the Leave it to Beaver type of family, but it doesn't happen that way.

A little, but it was just when they were trying to do something. I told someone who has parents that downright hated him/her a good answer that she liked on this. She said she needed a job, and since I play hockey, I knew a good one was a reception desk at an ice rink. She/he got the job and moved on right away
