Not everyone gets along with their parents and even those that do have times when they don't see eye to eye. Remember that your parents might understand what you're going through more than you realise - they were teenagers too once (shocking, I know). Perhaps they don't want you to make the same mistakes that they did. Being a teenager can be tough. Being a parent can be tough as well. Here are some tips for getting along better with your parents:
1. Be respectful;
2. Listen to what they say and wait your turn to speak;
3. Be careful of the tone that you use, talk quietly and calmly;
4. Pick your moment to bring up a tricky subject of conversation;
5. Be willing to compromise and negotiate;
6. Look at the person who is speaking; and
7. Don't shoot daggers at them with your eyes.
