Argue less

Gosh, this is hard. I have arguments with my 12 year old sister all too frequently. It doesn’t help that she’s petty and always wants to have the last word. She chellenges everything, and won’t do what I tell her (even if it’s on mom’s orders) unless mom tells her specifically. I wish I got some more support from mom on this one. Often, I can’t even figure out how it starts, that’s how pointless they are. Please give me some advice!

My boyfriend and I had 2 arguments this weekend and both times I have to say I didn’t handle myself as best as I could. But I did try to get us out of the argument as quickly as possible and keep it from escalating. It could have been better, but I still think we have come a long way from times when arguments would last all night long.

I’m having a hard time with this one. My sister and I got into it today. Any tips?

We’ve started a new thing where everytime we start arguing as soon as one of us realises it’s silly or we just don’t want to argue we say ‘hug’ and we have to shut up and cuddle until we aren’t annoyed anymore and say sorry. It’s been working really well because we never really have anything to argue about that’s that important, it’s mostly bickering. We both know we’d never do anything to upset one another and anything that comes up we can work through together.
I think a way I can definetly help is to start taking my evening primrose oil so I’m less hormonal, it might also help with my depression.

I need to stop arguing with my boyfriend. We’re both a bit stressed right now and I tend to take it out on him which isn’t fair but I don’t know how to stop. We’re both stubborn which doesn’t help so we never know when to stop even when it’s the silliest things. It’s mostly bickering but I hate it because all that time disagreeing could be spent appreciating each other, discussing our future together and things like that.

makes life so much easier, to be nonconfrontational

Me and my boyfriend had a bad argument last week and during all all the arguing we both said a few things that made is think that maybe we’re not the best 4 eachother.. Realising that is bad enough but hearing someone else say that 2 you is heart breaking.

Okay.. so after that we kind of sortend things out.. but acted like nothing had happend.. So 2day i brought it up because we had argued again.. Its really stupid.. it was over a game of cards!

I really dont knwo what 2 do :( I love him so much.. we’ve been together for 14months now and its been the best.. havnt been happier.. I really dont want 2 lose him.. just being held by him made it seem as if evrything was okay.. :(

keeping it inside count? My dad eats soooo loudly and it really annoys me. So does my friend vicky. We go to asda in the morning before school and she buys apples then eats them in my ear. It’s sooo disgusting and annoying i could shove the apple up her nose. I get so angry and annoyed but I don’t say anything and end up having to listen to it for the rest fo the morning. Argh! I’m even feeling angry now. I bite my lip to stop myself from screaming my head off at my dad and vicky but it kinda hurts after a while. How can I vent my anger without ripping peoples heads off? God I sound violent in this entry.

Me and my best mates keep fighting and bitching about eachother and other people so I want to stop. Anyway I feel like my mum and dad keep arguing because i am so I want that to stop too. So if I stop they might get the idea and shut the hell up.

okay me and my boyfriend have been together about a year and 2 months, and we are head over heels for eachother. But we argue about stupid things, i mean when we are actually arguing i get sooo mad and i feel like what we are arguing about is important but than after i cool down i think to myself, man that was a dumb fight. I’m kinda tired of it, and i try not to argue but we’re both really young and stubborn…..i mean the arguing isnt that bad, its just that it’s for stupid things. Anyway we’re both gonna try to compromise more, i really, really, wanna argue less.
