Intro: Ending Parent Vs. Teen Fights

This is an instructable for teenagers to read. When you mess up really bad, sensible loving parents will lecture you. Personally I am only 14 years old but I have found the best way to end lectures fast and responsibly. I know this sound so cliche but take it from a fellow teen, plz at least try this method

STEP 1: WHAT NOT TO DO

Now, these are the dont's of trying to end an argument.

DO NOT LIE
-you are going to mess up in life, your parents won't be that mad if they did not beforehand tell you specifically NOT TO DO IT.
-they will be very mad if u lie
-I know from personal experience that sometimes when I'm nervous a lie will slip out
-if u do lie once like this, apologize for lying and explain what really happened
-IF YOU LIE YOU WILL MOST LIKELY GET CAUGHT AND YOUR PARENTS WILL BE FURIOUS

TALKING BACK
-an argument can only be ended if you stop adding negative feelings into the mix
THIS IS NOT A FRIENDLY TONE, JUST FOR REFERENCE THIS WILL NOT END AN ARGUMENT

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
-stand up straight
-no rolling your eyes
-stomping of feet, and pouting are not helpful


STEP 2: BENEFICIAL HABITS

Alright so now we come to what to do

LISTEN
-your parents seem to be able to sense when you aren't listening
-they sniff you out all the time


AGREE WITH WHAT THEY SAY
-just nod your head occasionally and take the counsel it will make you a better person.

STEP 3: AFTERWARDS

A HUG ALWAYS HELPS
-try giving your parent a hug or if your "to cool for that" just say thank you for taking an interest in me

TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY
-now come off of your high horse! And take the damn advice
-after they lecture you about something don't do it THE NEXT DAY

I'm a father of 4 girls (5,6,16,17) So I mag have some experience in this arena and I think you did a nice job of explaining one of ending a conflict. As parents we want you to like us but aslo we need to be parents too. Now lets see if any teens take your advice Cheers!!!
Thank you that is very kind of you to say I was very nervous of posting this because it is my first instructable
