My mum is a dictator

My step dad is the same.

The solution was to move out. And in fact it means that sometimes we can now have these debates/discussions because he no longer hates the sight of me, and also I've grown up a lot, so I can put arguments across much more reasonably.

Just a thought, are you debating relevant things or are you trying out being a devil's advocate and saying things like "if you put a pound on the lottery each week you are insuring yourself against losing out on the jackpot!" or "fox-hunting is actually necessary" or "vegetarianism will save the world!" because then I totally sympathise with her

no i don't bring up any silly topics she could suddenly show me something or say something then i'll express my opinion on it and be told to shut up

I like to discuss and debate things with friends and other people i meet. If you try to debate or put forward an argument with my mum she will just say "shut up" "just shut up!!!" "**** off and move out then" you can't debate or explain anything if you disagree with her then you are wrong and anything you say is ignored.

This isn't really a problem just that if she wasn't my mum she would be a person i would never want to speak to and would probably hate.

I've had the same problem with my Mother for years. The only solution I've found it to move out, but on my own terms.

So don't move out when she threatens you, you just have to put up with it until you're done with education and have a job to pay the bills, then you leave.

perhaps your mum (and everyone elses parents/guardians) have better things to do than debate with you. They are probably busy cooking your food, cleaning your room, washing your clothes, and working to pay for your mobile phone bill. Stop being immature, get a job, buy your mum some flowers and do the dishes for her once in a while.

Oh, and you have no god damn idea what it is like to suffer at the hands of a dictator, no idea what so ever so don't even try to make the pathetic comparison between that and your parents, show some respect.
