Report AbuseI'm not a teen anymore, 21 now. But in all honesty, I think for most parents they just want you to strive to be better than them. Which isn't such a bad thing at times. However I do think its a teens responsibility as well to tell their parents if they are on your back too much and be open and honest with them. If they think you are talking back, just tell them that you do deserve as much respect as they expect you to give them.
Not only that but teen and childhood years should be the easier years of one's life. Because once you start hitting the real working world and college and making even more adult decisions, things are definitely going to get tougher. You think teachers are a pain? Ha! wait til your boss seems to talk down to you all the time, and a good portion of your co-workers don't like you are out to stab you in the back to get your job or the next promotion. So really I think you have it easy for now, just as long as you are doing your best and staying out of trouble, shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Report AbuseRead this again when you are out of the house. You will laugh at yourself. You worry about a bad hair day?! Wow. You don't want the other kids to make fun of you?! Girl, all those people you are trying so hard to impress will mean nothing to you once you leave high school. All those things that are bothering you so much and have you so stressed are so minor compared to what you will have to deal with. Crushes and love. Sweetie, high school relationships rarely last. Your mind needs to be in books and not on boys before you end up a pregnant teenager. Your parents want what's best for you which is why they are so hard on you. They are trying to keep you focused on what is IMPORTANT in life. And your make up and hair and boys are not what is important. Until you leave that house, education is top priority. Once you grow up and realize that, life will be easier.
The real world is not like high school. Yes, high school is hard and it sucks and kids are mean blah blah. But you better believe it's much worse out there in the adult world. Stop complaining and thank your parents for caring as much as they do.
And again...PLEASE read this when you are like 25. Laugh at yourself for being so foolish.
