I have been ignoring my parents ever since summer started. Since they are getting on my nerves I just wanna go out and hang with my friends since Junior year is coming up I know i'll be busy with school work and all so im trying to make this a good memorable summer. So whenever I see my mom or dad I just turn the other way or whenever they talk to me I just tune them out. But whenever I do that.. they TALK MORE AND MORE. Don't they get it that im trying to ignore them and that I don't want anything to do with them. How do i get them off my back so that I can have more freedom. I think i will go get my permit after this *sigh* drive out of this place.

and parents are SUPPOSED to take care of you.. DUHH why else would you born them for.. take responsibility DUHH. If you're about to have a kid do it right and do it with responsbilities.. having a roof over my head and a bed to sleep in is one of those conditions.

After reading the rest of the answers, I feel like an as$ for answering this myself. lol
I know how you feel. My parents are the same way. Sometimes, I feel that they're barging in on my personal life, and trying to get into my business. The most annoying part is when I'm trying to concentrate on something (say, school work and my part-time business online to help pay for school) and they just keep yapping about practically nothing. I just reply with single word answers, hoping they'll get the hint (sometimes they don't).
Does this mean that I don't love them? Of course not. I try to help them out as much as I can. They need me to pick up some groceries while I'm there? Okay, sure, not a problem. They need to borrow a few bucks? Keep it.
The point I'm trying to make is, deep down, you really don't mean it when you say that you don't want anything to do with them. It's perfectly natural for a teenager to feel that way in some degree. But you'll grow out of it later on in life and you'll wish that you had spent more time with your folks. For now, just let them know that you need your space and they'll understand.

Well, that answers some of the questions left vague in your other question. You're 15-16, so that explains a lot. It's not them with a problem, it's you. Show them some respect and they'll give you more freedom and respect in return. Be careful about how you make the summer "memorable", as that can mean a lot of other problems for the rest of your life.
I once told a teen girl about your age who was mouthing off to her mom as if she were slime under a rock:" You'll be surprised how much smarter your mother will get in another couple of years."

Your thinking, or at least what you wrote, is completely illogical. Your junior year is coming and you want to have a good summer therefore you will ignore your parents. OOOOK. You're spoiled rotten, and that is your parents fault, and you are focused on ONE thing, you, and that is their fault too, but that doesn't make your idiocy any more acceptable. Time to grow up, it's a rough world out there, and if you can do nothing else, at least approach issues with logic and a plan for success.

You sound like such an ungrateful horrible brat. I was never like that with my parents and neither were any of my friends. What's wrong with you? If they died in a car accident tomorrow you would realize how lost you would be without them. Love and enjoy your parents because they won't be around forever.
P.S. Maybe if you were a little nicer and respectful you would get some more freedom. Why should they do anything nice for you when you act so sulky and nasty?

The reason they talk more and more as because you are ignoring them and they care about you. If you want peace from them take 30-60 min. out of your day actually talkj to them and then go on about your business. Trust me you do this they will not talk so much. LOL, from a concerned parent that does hte same!!!!

I think you should just move out so you will never have to look at or speak to your parents again. Maybe one of your so-called "friends" will let you live with them. Unless you begin to get on their parents nerves, in which they will probably give you the boot. But that'll be OK with you, as long as you don't have to be around your parents. Right? You sound kind of shallow for a junior. More like a middle schooler. Your parents should kick you out and watch you rot.

I wouldn't 'totally' ignore your parents. Look what they have done for you...food, shelter, love,etc.....they brought yo into this world. I did the same thing in high school, and REGRET it completely. It's just a phase you are going through. Try and talk with them, and see if you can get on the same page. It will help them understand you better.

well obviously you are not giving them any good reasons to get off of your back. because you are ignoring them they may think something is wrong and will try to talk to you more. anyways how can u just ignore your parents they gave you life. they take care of you and give you a place to live and put clothes on ur back and food in ur stomach and you ignore them. if i were them i would make you get a job and start paying rent and food and buy ur own damn clothes and make ur grow up since u cant seem to do it on ur own.

Now, how would you feel if you are treating your parents this way and they get killed tomorrow in a car wreck? You would feel horrible. Treat your parents like you would like to have your kids treat you if you are blessed enough to have them. You didn't ask to be born. I guess your mom could have just had you aborted then so they would not have such an ungrateful child. They work their butt off to privide for you. GROW UP!

One day you'll realize that blood is thicker than water. One day you'll realize that the only people that got your back are your family. One day you'll realize how much you care for, and respect, your parents.
And one day you'll lose them.
This exact situation happened to a female friend of mine from high school. She used to try and ignore her parents, but instead of doing what you do (just walking away), she would throw things at them and yell at them. She called them names and told them she hated them because they wouldn't let her do whatever she wanted to do.
A couple of months after our high school graduation, when we were all getting ready to leave home (she was going to college, I was going to the Army), her parents died in a car accident; they were hit head on by a drunk driver.
You really don't know what you have till it's gone. Just ask my friend.
