I used to feel like that in my early teens. After I turned 17 or 18, my parents gradually began to treat me as an adult and we started to get on way better. That said, I had to start treating them with respect again before that happened. A lot of the things we used to fight about seem pretty trivial now, some of them I still think I was right, others I'm grateful that they were firm with me.
Obviously I don't know the exact situation for you, but sometimes you need to be the first one to make a move. If there is something that is really bothering you, maybe ask them for a 'meeting'. Schedule a time to sit down with them and express your point of view in a rational and logical way, and be prepared for them to disagree sometimes. I did this with my parents a few times as a teen, and although I didn't always get my own way, we were sometimes able to reach a compromise. At other times, they had no idea that something was bothering me so much, and went to great lengths to change whatever it was.

Just grin and bear it. I'm not sure how old you are, but often that can be the best thing to do. However, if its one specific thing that keeps happening, tell them about it. More often than not it can be changed. But when it's those one-off things that really bug you, just try and ignore it.
Parents and kids fight; there'so getting around it. Mum, Dad and I are pretty tight nit, but we still manage to rip each other's throats out now-and-then. Honestly, it's natural.

Umm, I'm 13 and I completely agree with Mrs. Edward Cullen. I mean, it's more of my mom really, she seems to have a problem with everything I do, the time I talk on the phone, the time I sit on the net, whom I chat with, how much I read (which admittedly I do in excess) ... it's so irritating. It's not about my grades because I top the year almost always, I have no idea why she goes on and on about how untidy my room is blah, blah, blah.
If I don't reply, I get a 'you are so shameless'; if I do, 'you shouldn't talk back to elders!'
Honestly, what am I supposed to say, then?
It's fine with my dad, because we're really alike, though we don't talk much.
I don't know why, but we used to be good friends, now it's like we can't talk without ripping each others throats.
Sighs.
Life is weird.

My parents are getting on my nervous too. My dad is the type of person who says he's never wrong (which means when someone leaves a bottle of water in his car he blams it on me.) and my mom is always bugging me about my life. Asking why I don't have a boyfriend, what's going on at school, and so on. The thing is, I don't think we're ever going to escape from our parents.

Parents just seem to be doing this a lot lately... maybe they're all getting together or something.
Mine have just gotten really uber annoying tho... okay it's really my great-aunt who I've lived with since I was 9 months old and according to her and her boyfriend(whom I utterly hate but that's another topic) I'm not mature to get my license yet just because we had a little fight over the stupid boyfriend erasing my ENTIRE dvr memory. now what the way i will act in a car by myself driving and that dvr have to do with each other i will never know

I am loving this thread. A place to vent without worrying about my folks reading it - only I won't risk typing anything now because I'm sitting in the kitchen of my friend's house and my folks - and friends - are sitting about four/five feet away...

lol nthat is too funny. yeah i feel like i can vent more online than in real life, cause when i vent online no one gets hurt.
i hate how my parents mostly my dad second guess me on everything, or they won't believe me. like did you do this? yes. are you sure? i feel like sometimes answering with a smart ass comment like no i lost my brain so i have no memories from like the last 10 minutes. but then i get yelled at. they just need to shut up and leave me alone
another thing they do that bugs me is that they pressure me alot. a 70 in school is you better do better, an 80 is ok but you can do better and a 90 is good. my older sister got b's and c's my brother got d's and f's so they think i should be the one to only get a's. sometimes i just want to fail just cause i can.

I know how you feel.
Well, I love my parents. I think deep down inside (sometimes deep, deep, deep) we all do. But...there are certain things that drive me crazy.
My dad I really love. I barely have problems with him. He understands me a lot.
My mom however...Lately she's been driving me crazy. Actually since 8th grade (in 10th currently). When I got put into gate she's always been pressuring me. I'm really sick of it and there are times when I feel like failing just because I can as well. But I decided that it would worth it later.
Just like you Mrs. Edward Cullen. The other 2 teens in the house (my brother and the other is an ex-friend who I hate now) flunk all the time, but the world ends if I do a little less better than usual. Though my Mom is usually satisfied with Bs. But I have to be everything their not. I hate it.
Srsly, feel so stressed. I had a nightmare that I forgot my homework over break. It was really scary. 0_o My dreams are always the weirdest. In fact, so weird my family refuses to listen to them anymore.
But yeah. It's not that bad all the time, but you know.
