GIRL WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE! Not only does the fact that you are a 15-year-old help me help you, but it is the reason WHY you are acting this way! I also bet you think you are right whenever you do this, huh? Exactly. You will grow out of it. We all do. Whenever you get into an argument with someone, "act" like they are right. Don't fight back, even though you are itching to. Just listen. Look at them and listen. I can't guarantee you won't do this anymore, but now that you are aware you should cut down on the attitiude.

I'm pretty sure it's mostly an age thing. Now that you're getting older, it seems like people should handle things in a more reasonable way than yelling at us--I understand that much. So I guess in our mindset, sometimes ignoring them seems like we're almost winning or being really defiant.
While the defiance is true, you're right, it does just come off as rude and disrespectful.
To stop doing it, when you're in an arguement with someone (be wary as to what sets you off--you could get an angry kind of reputation) realize that if you ignored them, nothing would be solved, and that would make things worse. Start at not playing with your nails, and maybe just try looking down. That way you won't have to look them in the face, and it looks a little more like you feel guilty, rather than have an attitude.
If you can do that (you'll have to work at it, but it'll work after a while), try to resort to looking the person in the face, and letting them speak thier part. This will prevent yelling, and they'll all see how mature you can handle something. This will actually even prevent future fights, and make it so people talk TO you, not yell AT you. It'll be worth it.

XOXO
KAT.

Okay. Im the same age as you and i do the same thing most of the time you really don't want to here what they stay so you get angry and Pretend not listen Sometimes it's better to just listen and agree with what there saying even though you really don't. So next time it happens dont stick your nose up, listen to what they have to say agree or do whatever they have asked and that way you will have them out of your ears or sometimes this sort of moodyness comes from hormones. Well i hope ive helped xx let me know if you have anymore problems
