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.
