Parents differ in ways and shapes. Sometimes they are too loose with you, because they want you to have fun; and you don't recieve the discipline you need. Sometimes they are too strict with you, because they don't want you to get in trouble; and you get to be happy. Here are ways to AVOID getting into arguments. For what to do if your IN an argument... well we can't really help you there.
1. Don't be afraid. If your want to wear a certain shirt to school but your mom may not like it - don't wear a different one - just ask her about it. "Hey Mom, does this shirt look okay for school?" is fine. Say it with a smile on your face, and have an optimistic attitude. Be ready to accept whatever answer comes your way,
2. Show your growing, not grown up. For most children, they don't have a sudden event where they have to mature and grow up immediatley. So please, act your age. Being right 100% of the time and being super mature is basically saying you want to throw away your childhood. Also - don't expect the "I'm still a minor" phrase to get you out of trouble and excuse you from acting immature.
3. Act like yourself, don't put on an act. By not showing your identity, your showing that you are young and naive. By exploding your identity, your showing that you are young and naive. By showing your identity, you show that you know where the line is,and where the starting line is.
4. Be calm. No matter what, staying calm and patient is the #1 way to not get in a yell-fest with your parents. Holding your fist down won't just work either, you have to look AND feel peaceful. Your sense of calm and leveled perspective will rub off on your parents, and they'll see things the same way you do.
5. Avoid them. If you've tried all else, then avoid the situation entirely. That way, you can at least say you tried.
