Life as a teenager, arguing with parents normal?

I'm 15, I usually argue with my mother, sometimes you just want to hit your mother real bad but you know you can't, cause she's your mother. Well today I got into a serious argument where me and her were about to kill each other. It's always my fault in her way. I do have a a bad habit, correcting my mother. Whenever she talks on the phone it's gossiping, I hate listening to it, and also she always makes mistakes talking about the latest news/headlines, with whoever with incorrect information. I just told her swine flue killed 38 people, she goes off telling her friends 'Oh my son said swine flue killed i think around 50 people already", I correct her, then she gets pissed off then we argue. She does this all the time, and I get pissed off everyday. I try not to disrespect my mother but I've had enough, I feel like crap, since I can't do anything. And i think my mother has a memory issue, which really causes everything.

So about my question. Is this normal? Or am I just a bad child.
Thanks everyone, your all helpful =)
 
Well I'm 16 and I used to always get into it with my mom because I also have a tendency to talk back to her. I don't really argue with her as much as I used to but yes, I do think it is normal behavior for a teenager :)
 
You're a good kid. Disagreements are quite normal in family life especially when you're growing up. I think you are just concerned about your mother because she tends to exaggerate things. And exaggeration is lying's ugly cousin. Don't think of it too much. You're young, try to absorb and learn everything you can from this experience. You will understand someday when you have kids of your own.
