You are not obliged to obey them.

If my parents tell me to not fast sunnah days for no valid reason or reasons that I think are not true, as for example: do not fast because you have exams, do not fast because you re thin and you have to eat, Do I have to obey? ?? Or can I fast whatever I want and whenever I want even if they get upset?

I don’t understand what is so special in ramadhan ,yes we pray taraweeh and we fast,but why does everyone pull their socks up and put themselves as muslim first and try to be good?Of all the times why now? By the way,I am always a muslim first then whatever else.But why other people decide to change now? Please I want to understand.

Assalamoalikum. I have some friends who belong to a sect that keeps the fast early and opens it bit late. Just want to know if sometimes i am invited on iftar at their place, and my iftar time approaches ( i belong to Sunni Sect), can i delay my iftar in order to give respect to their fast, because opening it at my time may come under an inappropriate act as far as the respect for other sect goes. Please suggest if it is ok this way or i should open it at my time strictly what comes may.
