Do you think it's okay to argue with your parents,or for kids to argue with their parents?Why or why not?


I think it's okay,we are still humans afterall,and we should be able to express our opinion.A lot of the times when my mom says something,and I don't agree with it,she'll get mad at me and threaten to punish me.
 
If parents don't like it when you argue with them they likely hold their opinion of themselves very high. Still, be the mature one and try not to argue, especially if the parents themselves are trying to start it. When you're making life decisions you have plenty of right to argue with them if you disagree with what they want from you.
 
Annoying listening to others arguing with their parents especially friends its pretty awkward.
 
You should respect your parents, no matter what age you are. I argue with mine all the time, but I'm careful with what I say.
 
It's ok if the kid knows that the parents are wrong. I don't argue with them because they never listen to me though. I just make my own decisions and don't tell them about it because they'll find a way to nag me about it later.
 
It can be good for kids to argue with parents to a certain degree, if you always shut down your kid with a "because I said so and you don't get an opinion" then they wind up having trouble saying no to people later in life, and they wind up more likely to have problems with peer pressure and such. As long as arguments are kept civil and reasonable then it's fine but if it turns into...

Then you should put a stop to it, but try to make it clear why so that they are better equip for arguments in the future.
 
?fcourse it is ok to argue. Your parents are no Gods and its important to give them feedback from your perspective, it will only help you understand eachother better.

In a perfect world the argueing would be respectfull from both sides, but unfortunately its nowhere near a perfect world......
 
I have always argued with mine because we have different views of the world. In the end, they are your parents and you need to respect them in some ways and if you're a legal adult (18) then they need to respect you too.

I do.Haing a different opinion and stating it is not disrespectful.xD
 
Adults will tell you to speak your opinion until your opinion conflicts with theirs.
 
My parents expect me to be everything they weren't & to not make the mistakes they did. I'll decide my own future and I will argue with them until they realize they cannot do anything to change it.
 
To me it's very important to respect my parents just as I'd respect anyone else, but absolutely I think it's fine to argue with them under the right circumstances and I don't necessarily think it's disrespectful to do so. My parents and I share very conflicting opinions on things and they don't always say the nicest things, so maybe that's why, but yeah I have no problem getting into arguments with them to defend myself or something I believe in, which is what it always comes down to when I argue with them.

My children argue with me all the time. Argument can be healthy, especially if it's used constructively. However, I do not agree with children of any age arguing with a parent out of pure stubbornness and/or desire to have their way. We just don't live in a world where everything goes our way, and I find that's when my children argue most. I do not desire selfish children. When they have a valid argument, I am very proud.

Whoa, you sound like one of those shonen anime characters! Is your avatar from the Robiom Hood movie made by Disney?
 
Depends on the situation, the parent, and their child. Sometimes it's better to keep your opinion to yourself, sometimes arguing with them is required.

For me, I started arguing with my parents when I entered my legal age, I think? I know my parents love me too much to punish me so I almost never hold myself back lol. Even when they say "How can you talk to your parents like that?!" I'd reply with "Well, YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!" I mostly argue with my dad cause he's stubborn, and I'm the only one who can argue with him cause he listens to me. As a result, my dad has started to changed year by year and my mom is thankful for it LOL

I do know when I should or shouldn't argue. If they did something wrong, I'd argue with them, but if I don't know or it's not my place, I'd listen to them and just say yes or stay silent.

I didn't vote because neither response was right. You can speak up and stand up for your beliefs but in an appropriate and respectful manner. You also need to know who your parents are. If your parents are the type to not listen, then there's no use in arguing. If you come at them in a respectful manner, and they still don't listen then there's nothing you can do. Arguing won't change their mind.
 
I always argue with my parents, but either way, you shouldn't. Arguing only leads to more trouble rather than a solution. I had to learn that the hard way.

Why not?Arguing is pretty much having a different opinion then someone else,stating it,and defending it.Don't you think kids should be anle to speak their mind too?.-.

This!.

However I feel their is the entire red sea between and my mother when it comes with issues of rights of minorities. However we've learned to just avoid those topics.
