Tell them yelling doesn't make you listen as much as trying to talk to you in a normal voice tone, say you will try to listen more to what they are upset with you about if they don''t yell.

Try to confront them about that. Yelling is not a good way of telling especially teenagers what must be done. It just makes the situation worst. You are more likely to stop working if someone is yelling to you. Communication is also important in a family. Burst it out to your parents. It is important that they will know your side too.

From what I have learnt, yelling back is definetely not the answer. You need to sit down when you are all calm and talk it out. If it can't be solved like that, seek out another adult who can mediate.

You can always talk to them. They are you parents, they love you a lot. Maybe explain to them that you are different from them. You are yourself

First, think about what it is they're yelling at you for. Think about what you could do to help yourself, and if a change is something that needs to happen on either side. If you confront your parents about it, remember to stay calm, and use words like "I" or "me" instead of "you". If you say, "you yell at me for everything", it might come off as accusing and disrespectful, and could start an argument. If you say "I know that I'm doing things wrong, but I don't appreciate being yelled at for every mistake I make. It makes me feel _____". Let them know how you feel without coming off as rude or disrespectful; they are your parents, after all, and know what's best for you.

Unfortunately, you cannot force any person do something or stop doing something; however, you can focus on yourself and being the best that you can be. This does not mean seeking perfection, as no one is perfect; rather, it means reflecting on the parts of yourself that you feel are upsetting your parents. Is it something that you are doing personally or are you unaware of it? Do you feel like it is something that can be changed or is out of your control? Try to understand where you parents might be coming from. They are not trying to be mean; they may simply feel that they don't know what else to do but yell. But the truth is, they do love you and all they want to do is help you.

maybe communicate with them. Try your hardest. Some parents aren't as supportive as they should be and there some that you will never be able to please. Sometimes you just have to remind yourself you are better than the words they say, that just because they are family doesnt mean that it automatically makes what they say as truth.

Tell them that you are your own person and that they need to understand that you have to do what you have to do and learn from your own mistakes.

Parents are difficult creatures, but you must take into account that without them you wouldnt be here, if you are under their roof then you must give them the respect they want even if it is against your mind to do so. Without their support then how will you survive the real world without mom and dad? The best thing to do is to answer politely, it can be more rewarding watching them yell at you and their reaction when you reply in such a tone. it also decreases tension and can help the situation :)

Well, talk to them. Maybe they don't realise it! Tell them how you feel and they'll probably understand it.

Try to talk to them and have open communication. Talking out the problems is key to solve them, otherwise you both won't know what to do!

Try to be patient and see their side. We all have our own perspective of the world: one that is based on our past experiences and emotions among other things. If you yell back, they will probably get angrier and not listen to what you have to say. Calmly try to explain your side, and listen to what they have to say as well. Attempt to find a mutual understanding. However, if you feel it is excessive to the point of abuse, please talk to someone you trust! Stay beautiful and keep smiling. You've got this!

Talk to your parents and tell them honestly how you feel when they always yell at you. If you think you did something wrong that makes them angry and yell at you then tell them you are sorry and do your best next time not to make them angry.

Sit down, and talk to them. Ask them what about you is bothering them. So, she can work together, and make them feel more comfortable that you are trying your best.

That's a really great question. You cannot control what your parents say or act. I think it's important to be patient,because nothing last forever. I would encourage you to tell let them how you feel. Try to talk to them when they are in a better mood and hopefully they will be able to understand. Again, nothing will change immediately, however, in time I'm sure things will get better. It's all about communication.

Parents want you to become a successful person in ur life because children are Thier responsibility. they r experienced they know better what is good for u.kidz are inexperienced du to Thier age so that they are not able to understand what is good n what is not for them.so trust Ur parents n do whatever they wants u to do.if u think u r not comfortable to do that what they want you to do then polity u make them understand that u r not comfortable n you don't want to do what they want. Communication is the only solution it can help you to understand Thier view n to make them understand what is in ur mind.if they are yelling at you ..go n hugg them n say ok Mom /dad I will do that...her/his voice will come down immediately.thier love towards you is unconditional.. respect that love n care they gave you.
