I usually argue with my mom because she had a life when she was young and it was really hard for her when she was young so I guess she wants me to have one too?I have to argue with her because I will my mom "Mom I getting bullied at school."And she'll just outburst at me "YOU BLAME THAT ON YOURSELF!!!"And she makes me wear clothes that she picks out and im 12 I mean yeah I know on holidays but amost everyday?So yeah..As long as you definatly know they're wrong fight back to the breaking point.
 
I argue with my parents because they can't respect anyone else's opinions except theirs.
 
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?.-.

Yes, but you are making yourself and your parents angry when you argue with them. Besides, they're your parents. You shouldn't disrespect them at all, in my opinion.

I don't think speaking your mind is disrespectful,it's a right.^-^
 
Difficult topic. All this talk about right or wrong, valid or unvalid.....

It normally isn't a black and white issue like that. Besides that, who decides what is valid/right and what isn't?
This talk about change when you hit 18.... 18 can be just a day older then 17. What makes it so wrong to argue before that? Or for that matter, what makes it ok after you turn 18?

We try to logically place rules on matters of the heart. In the end the rules don't decide whether it is right or wrong, but a childs nature & nurture.

I've had arguements with my parents since as long as I can remember. I consider them valid points of arguement, based on the ethics I was raised upon and the nature that lies within me. Nonetheless, everything aside, I love my parents to death. I'm not perfect, they are not perfect. the way I was brought up, argueing means you care enough to be involved in eachothers life. The love means that when push comes to shove, I stand side by side with my parents, as they stand by my sister and me. As flawed as we all are (and boy are we), we are a family. I wouldn't want anyone else in their place.

Argueing is part of becoming an adult. Its a way of comfirming ones identity and fighting to preserve it. The manner in which you argue and the topics you choose are so grey area because of its many factors, its impossible to genrrally state whats right or wrong.

Ofcourse still fun to debate and take in account I haven't slept for to long. :D
 
This is really situational. No, you shouldn't argue with your parents when they tell you to do your homework. But if your parents are morally in the wrong about something, then yes?

But please don't argue with your parents when your friends are over. Holy crap, I was that friend so often when growing up. It's super awkward.

You can still be disrespectful while exercising a right. You have the right to tell someone you think their hairstyle is tacky, but that's still being disrespectful.

It's okay to express an opinion that differs from your parents. What do you mean when you mean arguing? Do you mean having a discussion with two opposing views? Or do you mean yelling, swearing, name calling, and/or slamming doors? The latter of which is disrespectful.
 
It depends. Everyones parents treat them differently. The kid might just be a brat or the parents can be unreasonable, etc.
My parents always think they're right and have opinions that make me mad, and assume everything I say is with an attitude and honestly that gets tiring and frustrating. I've argued with them before but I've kinda given up and just don't say anything.
I think in most cases, if you do argue, you should still watch what you say.

The first one.The second one is when my mom says I have attitude,when I'm not even being mean or when she punishes me for the littlest reasons.
 
It's not a matter of freedom of speech or a child having to shut up. It's about respect. I'm 27 and I still argue with my mother, it's just gonna happen.

generations just tend to have different perspectives on things. my mum wud get frustrated by things her mother says to her, insisting her thinking is old fashioned and wrong, but then she wud do the same kind of thing to me and has no idea why i disagree with her.
 
It's okay unless it is reasonable unlike my parents won't listen my explanation always think I'm making up excuses but w/e I don't talk to them much (which is a fact)

Oh lemme add info if they tell you that you can't go with friends and shiz there is a reason "parent instinct" they may think you might get in trouble so better listen than ended up getting in trouble. It depends with the situation or something but whatever don't go off limit respect ur parents
 
I think it's fine to disagree with your parents. It's not like you'll always share the same opinions as them after all.
If you're constantly arguing it might be a problem, but when you live with someone it's bound to happen at least once in a while.​

To me, it very much depends on the maturity of the child.
My parents wouldn't let my brother buy a mini fridge for his room when he was younger because they thought he wasn't mature enough for it and would leave things inside it to smell (which he would have) even though he was technically "old enough" to have one.
Although once they get past a certain age, you have to let your child do what they want.
I'm 19 and my parents still try to control me.
 
Sometimes you end up arguing with your parents and then you realize later on that they weren't trying to take away your freedoms; rather they were trying to do what was best for you. Although depending on the situation, the parent, and the child, there are circumstances where the parent is wrong or might find their judgement unsound. If in doubt I would always ask a second opinion from another adult you trust, such as an aunt/uncle, grandparents, teacher, ect.
 
If you feel you are right, then argue! You need to show them that your right!
 
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.

Well no one should argue but if it's reasonable then sure
 
Kids need to respect their parents,and parents need to respect their children.This may seem like a simple thing to say,but it's very imporant that both have respect for eachother.That doesn't mean that everything will be rainbows and butterflies,but it will make things a lot easier,and probably a lot less arguing.

Those 9 people, All adults XD

Lol.Wait until you have kids.
 
I believe everyone has the right to argue with their parents, depending on the situation. If it's something that's ridiculous then maybe I'd understand that arguing would be wrong - but if it's over something reasonable then I'd understand.

Everyone has the rights to speak their opinion so I don't see why arguing with your parents would be considered wrong. Of course, though, most of the time people argue with their parents; it's more-or-less about their parents thinking about their child's well-being.
 
Well, considering I just had an argument with my mum, I'd say yes, lol. Not that I enjoy it though. Although parents can be ****ty human beings too so why should I respect them (or anyone in general) if they treat me like ****? Just a thought.
