hey friends,
This I assume is a very common thing, esp with the youth of today.
I'm amongst those people, who is studying in college, have a normal family, a middle class family and I wont delude myself, but Im not amongst the gangsters or drug addcits sort, just a normal student from a normal background.
I love my parents a lot. And I know they love me too! But maybe one day or two days may pass without arguments, but THIRD DAY there is an argument over somethign or the other. Is this whts called generation gap? Im not sure, but i hate arguing with my parents, though I only feel like this AFTER the argument is over. I dont feel like disappointing my parents, and I feel really guilty, but nothing changes, I again drag myself into an argument again sooner or later.
It starts off from small things, like i wnna hang out with friends, or they ask me to do some chores and i delay it etc etc.
Can anyone give me a good advice, so tht i stop arguing with my parents?
peace!

I understand you, because I also encountered this. Generation gap is common. I suggest you to control your temper when your parents are nagging, you may not accept their opinons, but don't argue with them, argument will only ruin your life, just treat it like they're singing songs, let it go in your left ear and out from right ear.

Sometimes,follow your parents opinion can guide your way.Althought that might not always be right,but they must consider everything from your part,they aim at doing good upon you.meanwhile,your parents living experience is much plenty than you,they can teach you a lot.

I am an only child and I was adaopted.... there is no doubt in my mind that I love my parents and that they love me, but we argue. Mostly me and my mom. I was really bad about it at 14. I am now almost 26. I still have disagreements with my mom, but I am not living under her roof anymore and she don't try to control me anymore. As far as how do you stop? well, for me it just kind of came with age. I moved out, made my own choices and had to learn quite a few lessons the hard way. Try doing little things to gain your independence, such as paying your bills, or saving up for something that you really want. if possible get your own place. It helped my parents to see that I was an adult and i needed to be able to be treated like an adult. good luck!
