If in doubt do as your parents tell you. Usually they have a reason. If you think wat they tell you to do is unreasonable talk with them and give them your point of view calmly and politely.
Oh and btw, from the tone of your question - if you were my daughter and perhaps a little younger and disobeyed me and whined instead I would not "nag" but would send you to your room, spank your bottom and have you grounded for a while. Perhaps that is what your parents should do.
No offense, just my opinion. Happy new year!

Do you know the secret of getting parents to stop nagging? It's doing what you are asked to do the first time. Simple isn't it.

No offense. We were all 13 at one time. But now as a parent I can give you an answer plain and simple. We nag you because it is our responsibility and our desire to see you turn into safe, happy, educated, responsible, adult. Sometimes the decisions you make on your own when you are 13 will not lead you down a good, long-term path so your parents are trying to steer you in a direction to help you.
Yea, yea, go ahead and roll your eyes. But know what I'm saying is true.

Secret to turning off the nagging. I'm a parent, and i'll tell you the secret..................just do what your told, when your told. no questions asked.
As far ask letting your mind your own business, sure you can do that, but as for me you are my child, and i will make sure to do everything in my power to make sure i can get you to the rip ol' age of 18 and out of my house in to society as a wonderful and productive adult.
And your not the first person to have a problem with their parents. heck remember your parents were your age once be it yesterday or long time ago. Parents were your age once too.
Have you been their age yet? Probably not in this life time so you haven't learned anything That comes with that age.
Give them a break, parents love you and just want to make sure that you make it through life into adulthood.

I'm not sure if we are using the same meaning for nag. If a parent is continuously asking/demanding that you do something, then the best and possibly only way to turn us off is to do it. I am constantly harping at my daughter to clean her room and to clean the cats litter boxes. It doesn't make any difference and so we leave her room alone. It is a disaster area that even she can't find her way into. She will never clean after herself and I have given up. She is 29, almost 30.
If it is about cleanliness, go along with them until you are out of the house and can live the way you want to. If it is about your friends or the way you dress, then arrange a meeting with them to discuss it. Hopefully they are mature enough to discuss openly and explain where they are coming from. And finally, if it is about school, remember that education is important. You need to be able to think for yourself when you grow up. Education shows you how to get the information you need to make informed and competent decisions about your life and your career.
You've got four years to go. Make the effort to talk with your parents and reach an acceptable to all parties compromise. Life is not about winning, but being happy and able to live with the consequences.
Your parents have gone through something similar to what you are facing and may just have some insight but be unable to express it.

I am a parent. My daughter is three years old and I'm terrified of her turning into a teenager.
Try to think of your life through our shoes, especially as a mother....I had a very ccomplicated pregnancy, difficult delivery, very bad recovery (in hospital for a long time) and was also legally blind for six weeks because of the stress on my body from labor....I have watched my daughter sleep, fed her, comforted her, read her stories, played games with her and promised her I'd always love her and take care of her....
And one day I'm going to have to tell her no to things she will want to do. I'll have to struggle to get her to do her homework and to do the chores because of the responsibilities she'll have to learn. And one day she'll be angry with me...but I hope that she can understand how much I love her. And how everything I do is for her because I want the best for her. I know your parents feel the same way.

Well if they spend so much time telling you what to do, why dont you just get it done? If you finish it, they can't nag you about it anymore. You want to be treated different, act different. Try being responsible and proactive and getting things done before they can nag you about it.

Just sit down and write out the times of nagging in the last week. It will give you a pattern. What was happening when the nagging started?
