I need advice...
I'm 17, growing more independent everyday, growing up, kind of kid, so take that into account.
The problem is, basically, me and my mom are not exactly "agreeable," to put iy kindly, I hate arguing with her, especially since when I do, it almost always leads to my unjust punishment. The thing is, I'm a debatable person, so sometimes, I'll voice my opinion at inappropriate times. But when her and I argue, I fear for the safety of my social life, so I usually concede (sp?), the problem is, she'll accuse me of being a smart-ass, and escalates the argument even further. Then when we do stop after I've already gotten grounded for a couple of days, she claims she has done nothing wrong, and won't admit to it, even after I point out both of our flaws in the conversation.
Thing is, shes a single mother, so I understand the amount of stress she has thrust upon her. I've already tried just completly not talking to her to avoid accidenty causing an argument. I dont know what to do. I need ways to deal with this.
