Floppsy, I'm not much older than a teenager and I remember exactly what you think you are going through. However, to bash your Dad is kinda counter-productive...if you want people to see you as mature, then you have to act mature. I found out (the hard way!) that when I wanted my Dad to respect me & my thoughts, I had to respect him and his thoughts. Try respecting your Dad, and try to see HIS point. In turn, he may just start to respect you.

LIFE IS FAIR! You don't know how good you have it, until it's taken away. Take a chill pill, and enjoy the fact that you still have a Mom and Dad, and that they love you (even though you may not think so sometimes). And just enjoy being a kid. It's the best time of your life!!
