How can I get my parents to listen to me?

If you want your parents to listen to you, you need to connect with them on their level. Sit them down, so that you can make sure you have 100% of their attention. If they are distracted or distant, do not push them into talking with you, just leave it for another time. Try and make sure you arrange the time beforehand and try not to give them 5 minutes notice. When you have them sat down and ready, make sure you take a seat so you are facing them. Maintain eye contact. Tell them calmly what you wanted to say. Don't shout or sound angry. After you have finished, let them ask questions and maintain the same technique.

you can try to see their point of view: they miss those years and should show them that you are there

Sit them down and let them know that you need to talk to them about something that is on your mind. Free them from any distractions to insure that they are fully focused on you and the task at hand.

You feel your parents aren't hearing what you're saying and this hurts you. Try to be calm, honest, and open-minded when you discuss this listening issue and any other personal issues with them when they have a moment to sit down and speak with you. Say something like, "I really need your help. Can we go sit and talk?" Before the talk, think of a list of reasons why you feel they aren't listening to you: be as specific as possible. For example, "I feel you aren't listening when you respond with 'yeah yeah yeah' and wave your hand," or "I feel you aren't listening because you immediately rush to solutions when sometimes I have more to say," or "I feel you aren't listening when you call me names." Before the talk, think of a list of ways they could show they are listening better - maybe they don't know how to be a good listener for you! Examples are, "It would help me know you're listening if you summarize what I've just told you," or "It would help me know you're listening if you just agree that I am feeling these things or going through this situation without offering help," or "It would show me you are listening if you give me hugs more often" or "It would show you are listening if you followup with me on my issues more often." Think of some compromises before the talk that show you are willing to be open-minded. Examples are "I promise to try to be more clear if you promise to show you're listening better." &c. Good luck!

Show them that you are a responsible and respectable mature young adult by behaving in an open and loving manner. Parents want to know they have taught/raised their children right and will act appropriately regardless of if they get what they want.

Communicating with parents can be really hard, partly because they can think they know more than you because they have had more life experiences. Every person is different and have different needs. At the end of the day, your parents love you and want what is best for you. Approaching them with a potential solution and asking for their advice is a great way to start. Showing that you care about their opinion will make them more likely to listen to yours.

Tell him how serious this is. And show them how much it matters to you. And sit them down and explain whatever you have to.

Respect and honour your parents..that will eventually make them eager to listen to you and love you.

Every set of parents are different. Most don't listen to their kids because parents believe they know what's best for you, when in reality, YOU know what's best for YOU. Sometimes it takes standing your ground and proving your parent wrong when they underestimate you. Most of the time, it takes "proving your worth" to them, which shouldn't be necessary, but is what they seek. Only you know your worth, and your worth is never below anyone else. You have to believe in yourself, your cause, your skills to have the confidence to stand up to them. However, don't constantly shove in their face your qualifications: frequently butting heads may deescalate your progress, and you don't want that. Overall, it's a painstakingly slow process that requires a lot of patience.
