Why do teenagers fight so hard against their parents?

As a teenager,you are growing up and becoming an adult.. the parents are trying to help form them to become that responsible and mature adult to society.. but at the same time the teenager wants to explore by themselves to see what there is out there... when parents try to but in too much it becomes annoying and brings in the impression that you want to ruin their life... but the real case is that you just want to help.. they don't realize this til they are in their mid to late 20s... so back to growing part... this causes the teenager to fight back against the parent as you said.. when doing this the thought comes that ';if I do this... then they'll be so fed up with me they'll leave me alone'; so basically they just want space... they're trying to push away the parents before they come to the rescue.. and sooner or later the parent will learn to let go... that's really all it takes... but you have to remember that no matter what the teenager says... if there is a situation where the parent is needed.. then you have to help... anyway.. they want to learn things for themselves...Why do teenagers fight so hard against their parents?
i think it's because we try so hard to be our own individual person, but at the same time, a small part of us wants them to keep a leash on us. I was a terrible kid when I was a teenager, and I realize that as much as I wanted independence, I also wanted my parents to 'not allow' me to do things either, of course I would do it anyways, just to see their reactionsWhy do teenagers fight so hard against their parents?
Because they are not little kids any more yet they are not adults, they are their own person struggling to mature thinking they are already there is confusing for teens you feel alone like no body else in the world feels like you, or is going through what you are. it takes alot of patience and some grounding because they will push beyond all limits of mom and dad's ability of self control.
they have to become their own person and grow away from the parents to be independent adults
its about independence and privacy. parents who know how to accept the fact that their babies are all grown up and can decide for themselves which is good and bad for them. but. its always more better if parents who be more open to their kids and talk! =)
Because as a teenager you try to establish your own unique identity.
because parents dont seem to get that this new generation has changed. teens are constantly changing their friends and style. there are many teens trying to talk to their parents but they just dont have the time so teens go out of their ways and do something thats ABSURD to get attention! then thats when your family and yourself will have a family meeting and decide what you need to change otherwise here are the consequences. and your parents will lay them all out for you. you wont approve of any and teens will begin to dislike them and hold a small grudge and will hold it against them.
At this point in thier life, they are exoloring the world. Becoming an adult, yet still a kid. Emotions are so HIGH! They are very independent, and think they know everything about everything. EX: Love, some wouldn't know it if it hit them in the back of the head, yet they swear they love that boy and know they will be with him forever. Then soon realize momma was right, boy are no good.


Then is a time when they are going to make mistakes, and you have to let them, or they will never learn from them. They think parents are old, and have no idea what the world today is like... somehow they think it's changed. What they don't realize is the only thing that changes are little things like they type of clothes they wear, they cars they drive. Big things like first kiss, or Prom, BOYS... things like that never change, we been there and done that, somehow they seem to forget we were once their age!
Because parents are uneducated and don't understand the natural progression of childhood development. Parents tend to be overly protective and do not allow their teens to make/learn from their own decisions. If teens don't stand up for themselves, then they will never be able to become independent adults.
I think teenagers fight so hard against their parents because they reach the age where they start to rebel. The kids see themselves as an adult and want to step out and be their own person. the problem is, most teenagers depending on what age they are still do not realize the dangers out their. they want to do their own thing and make their own rules and as parents we sometimes have so say no because we know the dangers. it makes the kid mad because to them us parents are the dumbest people on earth. but when they are older they will understand why were like that and they will be the same way to their child.
i am 16 and i fight against my parents because they think they are always right about every thing, they dont have time to talk to me, and even if they did all they would do is yell at me for one thing or another. they are always working and i have a job too, but most of my money goes to help the famly, i do most of the cooking and my older brother and i do almost all the cleaning. when my parents are not working they wach tv and dont do a thing, then they yell at us for not keeping up with this or that. now you tell me, why should i not fight against my parents?
Parents try to keep hold of their children and it doesn't work. I'm basically a teen and I love my parents more than anything i like never fight with them.
