research shows people who argue with their parents as adolescents (to a moderate degree) tend to actually have better relationships with them later on. it helps you to redefine your roles in each others lives as you gain more autonomy. not to say you can’t feel bad about it now or apologize to them, but i do think it can actually be a sign of a healthy parent-child relationship not necessarily something to feel awful about
