I think that teenagers argue with their parents a lot because they think that their parents don’t, won’t, or can’t understand them when they talk about their problems. I think that teens are too prideful to accept that their parents might be right when they are not or when they think that they are right. I think that the main reasons why teens argue with their parents is because they think they need to be flawless and that they want to prove that they are.
I don’t argue with my parents anymore, and I believe the reasons are that I don’t live with them right now and I don’t feel as though I need to prove anything to them anymore. I believe that as the mind matures, the teen will stop wanting to argue with their parents unless they make it a habit to argue with them when they’re around them. I think it takes a long time or drastic measures to break the habit of arguing.

i think your right it pointless to argue with people.
I like how you mention that there are teenagers who try to prove to their parents that they are supposedly 'mature' enough to only listen to themselves and not their parents. Also when you included your personal experiences, that helped in supporting the issue of arguing and how anyone can succumb to such a pointless thing. Of course discussing things rather than arguing will be a lot more effective and really is the more mature way to go. One thing to think about is providing at least one way someone can break the habit. Also, where does the influence of arguing with parents come from? Is it from our peers or from our own parents? These would be good questions to either include or explain within your posting as well.
I totally agree with you. I always argued with my parents until I went to D.T.. Then, whenever they visited, I wouldn't agree with them anymore.
