When we talk about fighting with your parents, we're talking about heated verbal exchanges- not about physical fights.  Physical violence is abuse- whether the parent is abusing their son/daughter or the son/daughter is abusing the parent.  Even verbal fights where one person belittles the other, mocks him/her or threatens him/her is abuse and is not a healthy fight that can be worked through. 

Still, many times perfectly normal fights will break out between you and your parents- especially as you reach your teens.  There are so many things going on in your life that constant fighting with your parents can not only seem frustrating, but unbearable.  Though fights with your parents are going to happen, it's important that you don't let them get out of hand and ruin your relationships.      

The rules and expectations that your parents lay out for you may not always seem to make sense.  But everyone's decisions rely heavily on past experience.  Your parent's have gone through a completely different set of experiences than you, and they are basing their decisions on what they know.  They may worry about situations that you don't because they've had a bad experience in a similar situation.  Don't assume that a parent is making a decision for you at random- trust that they have your best interests and safety at heart. 

Many times, instead of fighting and arguing when a clash like this arises, it's best to try and find a compromise.  A compromise falls somewhere in between what you want and what they want. This will prove that you are listening to what they're saying, trying to understand where they're coming from, and willing to make some sacrifices- all important signs of maturity!
