When you become a parent, mother nature doesn't hand you a manual, How to Parent. I think it's safe to say that no one really knows what they are supposed to be doing as a parent. They know that they have to take care of you when you're too small to take care of yourself, and they have to teach you social skills. But when you reach that age where you don't really need them to take care of you anymore, but you can't just move out and get your own place because the laws of our country say you're too young to be on your own, your parents don't really know what they are supposed to be doing with you.

You could approach your parents in a reasonable manner, tell them that you all should talk, that you all need to communicate about some things, but that you all need do it in a reasonable and calm manner. And you can try to agree to that beforehand, being genuine about it. But you can approach the whole discussion with something like, "Look, inevitably, I'm growing up, I'm becoming my own person developing my own identity. There's this world that I'm learning to interact with, and eventually I'll have to do it all on my own. I know that this is just as hard and
