Ask once, get your answers, move on. You've no need to argue with what you're told. Be thankful for the replies, don't insult anyone by asking and asking until you hear what you think you want to hear, and interact on a little more mature level.

You're a teen, most of us are adults. We only need to be asked once, and you only need to ask once. Once you're told, you don't need to argue the point. Your question can easily be answered by looking the information up yourself. It's all public knowledge.
