Do you...?

Do you talk back to your parent(s) / guardian(s)?

I did go through a period when I was a teenager when I talked back to my parents/guardians.
But now that I'm a late teen, I'm over that kind of "period" now.
 
Unfortunately, I do. D: There are many times when my mother and I just aren't on the same page, sometimes in completely different libraries, if you get what I mean. D: Do I prefer talking back? Of course not. Some cases I just have to be defensive. >_>
 
When I feel I have to, I do. They don't always understand me...especially my taste of music.
 
Not usually. The most I'll ever do is get annoyed and get on mom's case when she makes me clean up her messes. Honestly, I don't mind doing dishes, but when she uses EVERY DISH IN THE KITCHEN in every meal, it's quite tedious. XD Now that I know how to cook, I also know that using everything is just impractical and not needed. Dad gets on her case about it too so when I talk back all annoyed, I know my opinion isn't unfounded. Doesn't change that I have to do all those dishes though; it just makes me feel a little better. :P

Other than that I can't think of when I might talk back unless I'm being a little sarcastic in a mean way. My brother's AWFUL for it though. x_o He and my mom get into shouting matches all the time until my dad or I (or both of us) come and tell them both to STFU. 8D;
 
I dont really like arguing but when im pushed to the limit then... LIMIT BREAK!!! !@#%#@$%@#^!!
 
Yes, I do not get on with my mother very well at all, I tried sympathizing with her; she had a very bad childhood but I just cannot be bothered to deal with her now I have other stuff that needs doing and she acts like the child and tries being awkward on purpose. I just try to avoid talking to her now. My dad I hardly ever see but he is not half as bad and we usually mock argue but we both know we are joking.
 
Well, sometimes because when they get something wrong about me or something I have to correct them and so they obivously don't know a lot about me. I don't get along with my dad at all. My dad really makes my life feel miserable.
And I agree with what Kirakishou says "Family ties mean absolutely nothing to me, people need to EARN my trust and/or respect, they can't expect it handed to them just because they're related to me. If I disagree, I will talk back. I am treated in the same fashion, and I believe in giving as good as I get."

Yes. All the time. Because my mom's completely unreasonable and likes making rules for the sake of making rules. I'll be eating chips and watching TV, then she'll come in and tell me that I'm not allowed to eat and watch TV at the same time. Then we will argue. She can't win an argument if her life depended on it, so I will end up winning the argument. Then she will tell me to shut up or be grounded.
 
I talk back sometimes, then apologize like, five minutes later...
But I still do... I do it with teacher too... ehehe

Nah, it's cause when I get angry, I just loose it and shout and talk back... but I always say sorry xD

-400th POST! YEEEAAAHHH!!!!!!!-
 
Well, yeah, obviously. I'd only be arguing if I thought I was right. I don't see it as bad. If they're wrong, they're wrong, and I can't not say XD My dad shouts so much I'm not phased by it anymore and just annoys me rather than intimidates. Actually, I only recently realised he shouts much more than my friends parents. Perhaps he has a problem. But, I've always thought he had a temper problem.
 
Yes, I'm sixteen (here it's the age of school leaving and sexual consent) so naturally I can get away with quite a bit more than I once could. I've never talked back per se —at least not any time I can recall— since my parents aren't strict at all — I've always been treated more like another person than... how school teachers treat their students, I suppose.

Must be some corrupted parents to use that reasoning.
 
No. Respect is a huge thing with me. And if I don't respect you, you might as well not talk to me. On that note, I show respect too. And talking back is part of respect.
 
Hell Yeah i do. My parents dont do anything.
 
Yes, to my mother at least. I refuse to even acknowledge her husband anymore, but that is another matter entirely. Family ties mean absolutely nothing to me, people need to EARN my trust and/or respect, they can't expect it handed to them just because they're related to me. If I disagree, I will talk back. I am treated in the same fashion, and I believe in giving as good as I get.
 
Hahahaha yes, I don't think they mind too much though. They've always taught me to figure stuff out for myself and not believe things just because someone else says so.

When I have kids I want them to challenge ideas that I present to them. Who wants to be a brain dead zombie anyway?
 
Yes I have but I have always been a smartass.
 
Yeah, I do tend too. My mom sometimes gets on my nerves, so I do get smart with her. Talking back to your parents is a part of growing up and rebellion, in my opinion.
 
Yes, I have to. My family do not listen to me much
 
I'm generally a nice guy, but sometimes my parents just don't understand. >_>;

I'll snap at my mom, but then I feel bad cause she acts all hurt. If I backtalk to my dad, it's usually in the car when he backseat drives for me. He sometimes says things I already know or tells me to watch out for something I've already been alerted to and I say, "I know, dad." rudely, so he'll get angry. XD
