Of-course say it with politeness, don't be rude about it, or it will just get you no where. :)

Good luck!

As a fellow teenager that rarely gets along with her parents, I understand where you are coming from in all of this. In fact, I'm sure that at some point every teenager has felt like this. It's always hard for us to remember that as much as we want  to be, we are not the adults. I know sometimes it may seem as if your father is completely wrong, but often times our parents know what really is the best for us.

If your dad doesn't let you go out that much, it should be taken as an honor. He is probably just worried about your safety. Having a dad that cares so much is a blessing, you should want to spend time with him. If he doesn't let you go out somewhere, don't talk back just respect him and the decision that he has made. Once again, it is probably the best one.

If your dad gets angry without lidgitimate reasons to be angry, you should still respect him. Regardless if it is fair or not, he is still your father at the end of the day. Until you are over the age of eighteen he is your parent and deserves the respect. You shouldn't ever talk back to your parents or slam doors on them. Listen to them, (or at least amuse them and pretend to listen) and he will probably respect you more.

You'll find that when you don't talk back to your parents as much, they will see it as you maturing. If your father asks you to do something and you comply without arguing, he will see you as mature and is more likely to give in to something that you enjoy. Keeping your relationship good is always the best option. Please each other by being nice or at least cordial. If he asks you something, answer. If he lectures you, listen. If he tells you to do your chores, do them. This will ultimately gain you the respect that you won't get by slamming a door in his face.

The most important question is this;
Has your father ever physically abused you?

If he has, this is a completely different thing. You shouldn't talk back because this will just fire him up more. however, you should definitely speak out. Tell the authorities, or your teachers at school. No one has to live under constant abuse. Don't believe that just because he is your father, he has the right to hurt you.

Note: if he "spanks" you; that is not abuse. By abuse I mean hitting, pulling hair, scratching, etc.

If he does this, please seek help immediately.

Chances are it is not the latter, but your dad is just in constant concern for your care. We all understand how annoying it is when parents don't trust us. Just showcase some maturity towards him and he is more likely to believe that you really can handle such situations by yourself.

If you ever need anything, feel free to PM me.

Antidisestablishmentarianism.

If your dad is the yeller, I would continue to ignore him. Eventually he will learn that yelling at you is not going to make you do things the way he wants them. He will learn to adapt to ways to ask you to do things, and will stop yelling at you.

He might also just continue to yell and such, but I would give it a shot and see what happens if you continue to ignore him. If he doesnt catch on very fast, tell him "Dad, do you realize yelling at me is not going to make me want to do things for you anymore?" And see how he takes that.

I really hope everything works out. Good luck.

Thanks everyone for the points. I love you all.

Figuring out how to live a happy home life when you don't get on with a parent can be truly difficult, and I'm sorry that you don't get on well with him. However, your home life can be made bearable and you can figure out a way to live at home feeling content. It'll just take a little effort and work, yeah? Now, if you don't get on with him, that's fine. We're all different from our parents, we're our own people and sometimes we just don't click with our parents. That's perfectly ok, but at the end of the day, you ARE going to have to figure out how to live with him without arguing 24/7. One thing I don't recommend is just shutting up all your emotions, though, yeah? Don't just take it all, again and again, because eventually it'll get to you so badly and you'll get to a really crappy place emotionally, y'know? He is your dad, and showing him some respect is probably the best thing to do, but showing respect doesn't mean that he can hurt you emotionally. If he's being vicious or nasty to you, you DON'T have to take that.  So, what is it you should do? Well - talk to him. If there are certain restrictions and you're unhappy with them, talk to him about it. Show him that you're listening to him, but present your side of the argument too (and by this, I don't mean have a screaming match. You can express your emotions just as well, and more effectively, by talking). If he's making you feel bad emotionally, then I really think it'd be in your best interests to talk to him about it, and explain why it's upsetting you. Or, if you don't feel too comfortable with talking to him, try giving talking to someone else a go. Your mum, if she's around, or another family member.

Other than that, I suggest you carry on as you do. When he's yelling at you (sometimes that's just how people express themselves) I suggest that you just carry on doing what you are because yelling back won't get you very far at all. At a calmer time, when he's chilled out, it might really help for you to mention that you really dislike all the yelling and you'd be more inclined to listen to him if he actually had a conversation with you rather than a shouting match, y'know? Do listen to him, yes. But remember that listening to him doesn't mean you can't express your own opinions and emotions.
