It is a common scene when there
is /are teenagers in the household.
Parents amd teenagers couldn’t
agree with the same point, they
couldn’t sit on the same bar due to
different point of view.
Parents of all ages ( young or old),
are often in the opposite view of
their adult teenagers when they
disagree with the younger
generation behavior, attitude
towards responsibilities and
opinions.
Parents often do not realized the
rebelliousness of their teenagers
are mainly caused by thirst of
rivalry with parents, a way of
expression that had developed
over the years of strict parenting.
This rival feelings becomes more
intense in teenagers because they
have stronger emotions and
inexperience with anger
management.
The age of adulthood in each
country differs from the rules and
regulation.
In Malaysia, 18 years old is
considered as an “adult” where a
teenager is supposed to be
responsible for his actions.
Some parents may not agree that
teenagers who are living in the
same household are labeled as “
adult” since they are still unable to
defend themselves from danger in
our harsh world of society.
Each teenager has different point
of view about adulthood.
Some may feel that they are not
“A child” anymore.
Hence, he may want to compete
with parents , express his own way
of resolving problems without
parents interference.
A teenager is always “ a child” in
the parents eye.
Regardless of the status of the
teenager, married, single, working
adult, studying; parents are
worried for their safety, well being
and social status in the modern
society.
However, teenagers may not agree
with parents and claimed that old
folks mindset thinking and
opinions are outdated or
senseless.
If a teenager is not rebellious, this
may turn out a positive parenting
value but there are disadvantages
too.
Lack of motivation to leave home,
to make way for his own livehood
and independence, this would lead
the teenager into “parasite” his
parents for his lifetime.
However, most teenagers are
showing rival symptoms which
shows that they are eager for
more power to be bestowed to
them.
They are trying to show their
parents, friends, the society that
they wanted to improve the world
crises, make new discoveries, find
new methods to take over the old
fashioned methods to save time
and earn more benefits.
This is a positive point of power
rivalry between teenager against
parents.
Hence, it depends on when and
under what circumstances that the
parents are willing to “let go” of
their child to “soar high into the
sky” with his own ability and
power of knowledge.
demands
Sometimes a teenager becomes
“foe” of his parents is dued to his
incompetence in meeting up his
parents demands.
Demands in achieving excellent
results in academic, sports,
challenges, competitions, ability to
earn high salary, occupation status
and possession are included.
When the teenager unconsciously
failed to meet up his parents level,
he might outstrip his parents and
make them angry ( purposely or
unintentionally).
Highly educated parents with
superior occupations often insisted
their teenagers to follow the
footsteps, working in the same
field and studying the same course
without negotiation.
Not all teenagers are tactless or
simple minded as in the past.
Nowadays, teenagers are keen to
study courses that are related to
their interest, without considering
the future consequences of the
future job sectors and income.
Hence, parents often disagree with
teenagers decision, resulting to
rivalry and hatred in discussion.

You have given the exact reasons why some teenagers and parents don't get along well. It could be the generation gap factor. Some parents cannot understand the modern young generations. The mere fact, behavior changes to teenagers because of the modernization.
Teenagers are so independent and think that they know everything in this world. The reality, they still need to be guided by their biological parents. On the other hand, some parents are afraid of the changes and refused to accept the changes in their environment. Thus, teenagers and parents have the clashes in any point of time.
The writer's point of view about parents v children rivalry is feelings, and emotions of the child is not a correct concept of the writer because it is the fault of age in childhood and youth but in adulthood the main cause of rivalry is lack of true education and nothing else. The feelings and emotions are the same awarded by God on birth to every child. Actually birth planets settle human trends since childhood and the child follows his trend active on birth while parents force the child do what they want from her starts parents v children rivalry at home.
When with the passage of time 90 per cent children mend selves by improving education leads the children to the right path. I am International Net Astrologer,have advised parents let the children follow their birth trends they will get success on growing up.
That is why is said that follow the rend for success and the planets shape human trends in society and those who follow birth trends may not be a problem for parents, history is replete with such examples.

It is good for parents and children to respect each other. When there is a lack of respect on either side, that is when complications arise. People can disagree with each other, but need to do so in a respectable way if they want to live together in some type of harmony.
A person who owns/rents their home, whether they are a parent or not, is essentially "the boss" of anyone who they allow to stay under their roof, in their home. That being said, most of the time, the boss RULES. But... good bosses have respect, and are lenient and understanding when situations call for those types of responses.
Sometimes parents are disrespectful to their children because the parent might feel like since they are the older adult, they are always right. On the other hand, some children are very disrespectful to their parents. The key (although sometimes easier said than done) is for both parties to respect the differences in one another.
If one side is being respectful, let's say the child is very respectful, but the parent for whatever reason is NOT, then it would be wise for the 'child' to leave the parental home as soon as possible.
If things are the other way around, where the child is disrespectful for no reason to a very understanding and respectful parent, then it is up to the parent to make some decisions as to that child's continued living arrangements in the parental home.
Once living apart from each other, if the two still can't get along, then limited contact is the best for everybody.
