Communication is the way you can unite with. What are they yelling you for? Do you see any things you can do better to prevent yelling?

By simply telling them that it hurts you. If they do it again, you would need to keep reinforcing your boundaries to them as to how much you can emotionally take.

Based on my experience, when we're both calm and composed I take the time to sit down and speak with them, sometimes as humans we feel like everyone is ALWAYS yelling at us for no reason whatsoever, whereas taking a step back sometimes you might see occasionally you did do something wrong, (I know I did) :)

I had to decide to separate myself from my parents. Since I am not around them much anymore, they don't really have anything to yell at me about. It does not seem like much of a solution but it helped me

Being open and honest to your parents on how their actions are making you feel can have a positive impact. Often we are unaware of the consequence and impact our actions have on those around. So perhaps they are not aware just how it makes you feel whenever they yell at you. Having a calm conversation to explain this helps them become aware that they yelling is not positive. Encourage them to have calmer conversations with you being more constructive if you have done or said something that they do not think is right. This is much better communication and can be much more effective.

if your parents are yelling at everything than it may be time for family council therapy because then you are all together and you will get a professional perspective. if you are not getting along try to remember a time when you were all getting along and no yelling, what worked in that situation? can it be duplicated in a current argument? if you tell your parents to stop yelling at you maybe stop and ask why are you yelling at me so much, what did i do that was so wrong? if they can't answer you then maybe you may want to spend some time away from your family when the conversation gets heated.

Did you consider confront them about it or telling them that their yelling is causing more harm than good? How would you think it would turn out?
If you did, what was their answer and why do you think it was that? Did you try to get in your shoes and do you think they tried getting in yours?
What helped me about this issue was basically making them see the consequences about their behaviour: the dropping grades and my irascible mood.
We talked before that but they seemed to have forgotten about the issue.
Most of the parents are just trying to do their best but sometimes they misplace priorities.
I confronted them and it worked.
Do you think this situation could be applied to yours?

I know that sometimes are child and parent relationship may be very difficult to understand from both sides. Being a parent is not easy making sure they the little human you are in charge of makes good choices, explaining what may be best and deciding how to discipline and so forth. In my experience, making time to sit down and talk with the person or group that you feel is not treating you well could have excellent benefits. I was nervous one time about something with my parents, but I did not feel comfortable speaking with them in person, so what I was able to do was write them a letter/note and let them know how I was feeling. Hope this helps!

I understand how you may be feeling. I was there once too. Talk with them and ask them how you may be able to help. Explain to them the way you feel and let them know that you don’t mean to do whatever it is they are yelling at you for.
For example, if they yell at you because your room is dirty simply tell them that you are getting to it and just need some time. Tell time that yelling may be pressuring you and making you feel as if you aren’t good enough anymore. If you tell them this that may help them better understand.

Hello. I hope you are doing okay. To get your parents to stop yelling at you fro everything, you would have to communicate with them. Set a time to talk to them, to really sit down and have everyone ready to listen. You can start by asking them if it is alright to talk when they are not mad. Once you are all seated, calmly state your purpose that you are talking to them because of the instances that they yell at you. Try to do this politely and calmly. Don't forget to mention that you are only talking to communicate and not to blame or disrespect them. if they start being passive-aggressive, aggressive, defensive, or in any way make you feel uncomfortable to speak out, kindly gather the courage to tell them how they are making you feel at the moment and that you would appreciate if they hear you out. Avoid shouting or raising your voice at all cost. If you start feeling overwhelmed, take some deep breathes and try to take a step back to see where your point is going. Don't lose sight of your purpose. I hope everything goes well.
