Unfortunately, I doubt you can. If they’re that aggressive I don’t think you could sit down and have a chat with them to explain how you feel and why they should care about it. I’ve tried that with my own parents, I was not taken seriously. BUT, you can always try to set boundaries. Explain you need time to yourself sometimes. Put a note on your door to let them know you’re doing work. Know that even if they hurt your feelings, they’re not doing it because they want you to feel bad. They’re doing it because they feel bad inside their heart and want some way to let it out. Talk about it with friends privately, the more you normalize it the less power they hold over you. Be objective about what they say. Are they being dramatic? Are they being reasonable? If they are being dramatic, do they have a reasonable reason to be? You don’t have to take them seriously and believe they’re right every time they yell at you for something, but it’s okay to take it into consideration. Just know they don’t have a final opinion on anything; you can trust your own. Don’t argue with them and try your best to tiptoe around any conflict. The more you can avoid the situation the better you’ll feel in the long run but it might make you feel a little tense to be around them, almost like you’re guilty. Don’t take what they say to heart because I’m sure you know you wouldn’t treat someone how they treat you, so you don’t have to be convinced by their words. :)

Explain them that this behaviour is causing you mental disturbance and if they can't stop with this then you will have to stop having a talk with them. You have to explain them that if there will be a conversation then it has to be in a peaceful way else there is no lecture session. But along with this you yourself will also need to look after your deeds. Not always parents are wrong. You have to keep in check of your activities and be more responsible of your duties and more important thing ie your career and future.

Well I guess you all should sit down and talk in a calm, reasonably and hopeful peacefully on why they yelled, find out why and how it effects you and ask them to stop. Sometimes direct approach might help. It might be your behaviour in how you act, what you do or something that you dont notice or sometimes they are just concerned. They yell sometimes because they care and people would react more to being yelled at than talking the same things over and over again. Or else its more to their personal lives that end up being taken out on you, which i hope not. But being there and consider on why and think how would you improve on it i guess.

Standing up for your rights is the best way to fix all the problems that me, and you, and others, can across especially when it starts being a real issue and effect each person's personal life When it comes to parents the best way is creating a good atmosphere maybe going on a picnic, or having a sit, drinking coffee and talk in a good way mum or dad that's making me feel stressed anxious. I'm sure this will make a change Sometimes parents make mistakes without aiming to show hate or anything else it's just life stress and fighting to make a living.

This one is a hard one. The only thing that I did was to sit down with my mother and tell her how I felt when she did that and explained that it doesnt make me understand or hear less if she uses her normal voice and explains to me what it actually is trying to tell me (make a point). I think she kinda understood it and accepted it with a time. Of course it didnt happend just in two days but there was alot of progress by every day. Now I feel I can talk to her better as I dont feel attacked every time I ipen my mouth.

If you want your parents to stop yelling at your for everything, let them hear and understand the thoughts and struggles you're dealing with and hear their opinions so that you and your parents can both clear some misunderstanding with each other. Patience is the number 1 tip that you must have since it takes a lot of patience to be able to tolerate something that's not easy to face on wards. Stay calm as much as possible. Being loud and harsh won't get you and your parents inferiority anywhere else. Let them speak first as a sign of respect so that they could do the same thing to you when you speak calmly and well composed.

I would try calmly telling them how it makes you feel during a time when they are calm as well, and hopefully communicating your feelings would give them some insight into how their actions affect you. Of course, that may not fix everything, but if it doesn’t work at first, I would continue to have those conversations until they start to respond. However, I would never start that conversation when they are already yelling at you or if you’re in an argument, because feelings are too strong then. Tell them after everyone has calmed down. I hope this can help you!

Sit down and have a conversation with your parents, discussing how you feel about them yelling and develop a plan together about how to get their feelings across without yelling. Communication and understanding is not a one way street, but a two way street so with both parties (you and your parents) understanding issues across both parties is very important for a healthy and long relationship. Often times, some parents don't understand how to talk to their child and will resort to yelling to get the point across, while children might do the same. Talking to them and ensuring both parties refrain from yelling and arguing is important for long healthy relationships.

Try to explain them how you feel when they raise their voices against you. No one deserves to be treated badly, let alone by those who should love you inconditionally. Our parents are our most precious guardian. We can have our friends, teachers, bosses, neighbours, lovers... But our parents are the ones who should love us the most. I know how painful it is to be yelled at by your parents. It really hurts, because you never expect such harsh treatment from the ones you love. Tell them how you feel. If they really love you, they will undertsand your words.

The best thing you can do is sit and talk to them. Like sit with them and explain exactly what u feel when they yell at you. Help them understand what they can say instead of yelling and also try analysing what makes them yell at you and try to make little changes. Talk to them and understand why they are so stressed or frustrated, maybe its due to the stress from work or from other family members . The solution to everything is communication. Just try to build a bond with them, it might take time but things will change soon.
