My parents don't listen to me, what should I do?

I understand how frustrating it is when our parents do not see eye to eye. One good rule of thumb you should accept is that they do not "have to" listen to you. Have you considered approaching them from a different perspective? Maybe a conversation where all parties can truly participate?

Try to put whatever points you have forward in a straightforward and mature manner: This can encourage them to see at eye level with you, and to hear you out

I'd suggest speaking to them on a personal level, try to explain that they make you feel like they're not listening. See how that goes.

Use the technique called the "Broken Record Technique" you keep repeating yourself over and over until they get the hint

You should try and make them understand how important it is for you and sometimes also listen to them as they will always love you. They will always be there for you so give them some time and everything will be alright.

Try talking to them about how you are feeling when they ignore you and talk to them about the things you could do to improve your relationship.

You should find a way to make them listen. Nothing bad. Or if need be tell your school to call and talk with them.

Approach them in a calm and logical manner (it might help to communicate via writing such as email or text) try to leave emotion out of the conversation and give them as many opportunities to get involved in the conversation as you can. Most people love to be asked for help or for their opinion so try starting it that way. Or if it is something sensitive try framing it as you are trying to help a friend and what advice should you give them.

Sit down with your parents and have a rational disccusion about how you want to be treated as a human being and that they should listen to some of the things you have in mind.

Build up a logical argument to get what you want. If that doesn't work think to yourself why are my parents not listening to me? Do I have to prove myself in some way to get their respect so they will listen?

Talk to them about how you feel. It's possible that they don't even know that you feel that way and they will be happy to fix it.

Try writing them a note. Or keep talking to them until they listen. Parents sometimes dont know how to listen to their kids. Just try and make a nice approach

If your parents don't listen to you go to someone that actually does listen to you because they will give you the necessary support you need.

Try to make them know that you are the capable one. Soon, they will start listening to you. They must know that you are telling anything only for good purpose, which automatically convinces them. Anyone cannot make a person to listen to her/him forcefully. so, you have to gain it.

Parents will always be hard on but it is called tough love, they are your parents and love you very much

alot of time we feel that closed ones are very distances. and because of that we feel very frustrated. the best answer is in your hands . I could give you one but is it what you need.

Try talking to them and staying calm instead yelling or getting angry! This immensely helps out a lot!!! Why dont you try doing What they would expect from you? Something that would please them! Hope this helps

Approach with confidence. No matter how old you are, parents will see you as their child. Show them you are more than just their child, because just like they just see you as their child, you just see them as your parents. If the problem is more your parents ignore you, try talking to a friend or other family member about it, and even ask them to help back you up if you need it. Make sure to stay strong and positive :).

Well, maybe they don't notice that? Talk to them and find out. That's always the best way. To be honest will help.

Keep trying in a calm and sensible manner, do not lose your temper and try again if they don't listen the first or second time until you are heard but stay calm

Sometimes it can feel like your parents are not listening when you have problems. It is always best to talk very honestly and let your mum or dad know that you feel this way as its very often the case they do not know how it is affecting you.

I think you should really tell them how you feel, maybe sit them down and talk! If that doesn't work ask them for a therapist or try talking to someone you know would listen to you.

Sit them down and open up. It's the best way a child can do, break their wall down and show their vulnerability to their parents so they can see a side of you so emotional. It won't be so easy, but baby steps will get you through it!

Parents not listening can be very frustrating and stressful. Try to explain yourself politely and clearly.

In my experience, you should write them a letter. A respectful, calm (but serious) toned letter. It should thoroughly explain what you are feeling and why you have frustration with them, but also be concise and respectful enough for your parents to respond to it in a rational, reasonable fashion. When you speak, it's very easy to get animated and upset. But when the words are on paper your parents have no choice but to listen to all you have to say before they can respond. Make sure you end it on a positive, loving note, too. Remind them you still love them despite the problems that are occurring.

You should try to assert yourself, try to explain the situation and don't back off from conflict. Be respectful, but firm. They want the best for you, but sometimes they are going to need a bit of help to figure it out.

I felt for a long time that my parents didn't listen to me. It took most of my childhood for me to learn to talk to my parents like actual people, and as with most other circumstances in life, the best way to be understood is to first be understanding. Parents are worried sick about their children for most of their lives, and while some parents are better than others at managing this worry, that is the place that most of any perceived unfairness comes from. When I learned to listen to my parents (not to obey, necessarily, but just to listen,) I started to realize that they really did love me, and while they may get tired or frustrated or simply misunderstand me at times, almost everything they did came from a place of love. If you are patient and open with your parents, even when it seems like they are not listening to you or respecting you, slowly they will begin to treat you like the adult you are becoming. In a lot of ways, that's what becoming an adult is, I think.

Assess the message you're wanting to convey and how it's being delivered. Make changes if necessary and remember to stay calm, clear, and keep control over your emotions. Getting people to listen to you has a lot to do with the right timing.

Confront them and explain how you feel about them and there not seeming to listen. Figure out what is on your mind tell them and listen to their response also see if there is something on their mind as well.

I recommend you sit down with your parents and communicate to them that you feel they don't listen to you. Feeling this way can very difficult, but you should also try to see things from their eyes, too. A conversation with them may help you understand why they act like they do, and help them to understand the ways in which you feel they are lacking.
