    you may have to assert yourself just to make sure that your parents get an accurate picture of who you are/who you are becoming.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this. Mind elaborating?

Conflict is bound to happen between parents and kids, especially teenagers. Birds just leave the nest. Not so easy for humans. On some level, to your mom, you are always going to be her baby. My mom still remembers me at 1/10th my weight and needing comfort during thunderstorms. At some point I had to let her know that was no longer the case. Did she like it? No, but reality has a way of flooding in once it's pointed out.
