you shouldn't feel like that, your opinions on things just differ. some dads (including mine) and other people are sometimes really stubborn and will not consider others views and stuff, simply thinking theirs are always correct.

as for the arguements, dont rise to it, simply keep it as calm as you can and if it gets too much just walk off to your bedroom or something. that way you wont be getting punished :)

Right well i cant give you that much advice as ive never met my dad and dont wish to either so ill use my mum as for this they only best way is just to "keep the piece" and walk away i found it happens well when i do it but i can overpower my mum sometimes wich is a bit naughty of me but

YER just try not say anything bad i no its what teenagers do they argue with their parents cause its all natural and everything just think what about what your gonna say before you say or just go out the house with some mates just to cool down a bit.

Yes, I try that, and sometimes it can work, and other times he will just persist just to get a reaction out of me, which I have been guilty of doing, which then will lead to punishment, and his punishments can be unbelivably harsh for such little things.

i know what you mean, i've done the same. if you still live with both your parents, maybe have a word with your mum and tell her what's bothering you and that you dont like the way your dad does some things, and she could have a word with him?

if not you could just talk to him about it yourself, but i know that would proably be hard to do. :(

Just ignore him if he does that, change the subject - go get a drink or something.

Well, thanks for the advise and I'll try just ignoring him when he starts on me.

Try spending some time with him and telling him how you feel. Hopefully, he'll understand and you guys can get back to your loving relationship.

Talked to him, but within a few hours it started again.
