Yes! Nothing I ever do is good enough, but I just ignore them and do what I want now, I am 19 after all. It's my life and I'm going to live it how I want to. Alot of the time I will remind my mum that I could be a teen mum, with no prospects, addicted to drugs, smoking 4 packs a day and coming home drunk most nights, but I'm not hence she is lucky.

neg rep them
Parents' don't mean their criticism in a bad way, merely as a means of motivating you. They know that teenagers are stubborn, and by criticising you, they mean to instill in you a desire to prove them wrong.
They do have your best interests at heart. I just ignore them, and if they don't give up that way, point out to them the ways in which they are hypocrits. I find that if I treat them the way that they treat me, the dynamic begins to change as they see that I'm no longer willing to settle for the position of 'child' in the house and that I now hold the position of an equal adult.
If they find a lot to criticise about me, then I will criticise what they do, and this seems to make them think about what they are doing. Or tell them that you don't like the way that they make you feel, this might be another way to make them think about what they say and do.

Go to university at the other end of the country.
i would but i'm still doing my GCSE's
When I was at school if I got an A my dad would ask why it wasn't an A* but that was just his warped way of motivating me. It didn't bother me, I didn't mind either way! He wanted me to study law as well but I didn't want to so I didn't. He doesn't mind though, it's not like he gives me grief about it.
My mum usually just gives me the whole, "if you're happy then I'm happy" stuff so I don't get it from her.

My parents usually let me do what i want, within reason, which is the best way to go about things. Because now i know where to stop, what i can and cant do and basically ive made my own mistakes and now i will probably make some more, but ive learnt a lot from the mistakes i have made.
