There comes a time in your life when nothing your parents say will make you happy, and that is a normal part of growing up. That friction makes you uncomfortable enough that you are motivated to strike out on your own, thus perpetuating the cycle of children growing into adults. This cycle begins with baby steps during adolescence, and gradually mounts until you move out. Try to be nice; I bet it is hard on your mom, too.

How old are yo?

Doesn't it take a lot of effort to capitalise every word except for the ones that need to be capitalised?

You can't change your mom, and I don't think it's your communication that's the problem, here. The problem is, she's a bitch. I should know. I am not only a bitch, myself, but the daughter of one Grade-A, World Class Bitch from Hell.

Get a calendar and start marking off the days until you can move out.

The good thing about the calendar is that you can keep track of both of your bad moods. It could be related to fluctuating hormones on one or both your parts. Keeping a mood calendar will show you if there is some cycle.
