You ask them to listen your version of seeing the problem and explain them about the issue in detail and ask them to support you so that you can give good results and reach their expectations.

If it is possible sit your parents down and talk to them. Tell them that the way that they are dealing with you effects you and how does it make u feel. If possible suggest a better way of dealing to them.

When you say yelling at you for everything is it everything or at a specific time? Parents don't always see or hear what you do so maybe try telling them how you feel.

Parents often are angry because something is going on in their lives. My parents got mad at my sister all the time when we were having financial problems. What is troubling your parents? What can you do to help? You cam do things such as appreciate them out loud or wash the dishes this night for them.

Sit down and try to have a calm to with them about how the yelling bothers you. Hopefully, they can understand what you say to them.

Tell them that you don't like they talking to you like that. Tell them to don't blame you. Tell them that yelling at you without any clear reasons will only mentally abuse you. They will stop, because they love you ;)

Try and find the triggers of your parents yelling at you. Talk to them about how you feel and how you can all tackle your triggers so you can move forward.

I would suggest having a conversation with them about how you feel and how you can adjust both yourself and they can work on themselves. That way it's a two way street and both people are working on the issue.

Firstly, it might be good to ask your parents why they shout at you- they may be stressed out themselves. From there, you can see if you could help them- maybe that will reduce how much they shout at you

To get your parents to stop yelling at you, sit down and speak to them about how you feel, have a few examples in your head to explain when you think it is happening. Make sure you are calm in the conversation and hopefully it goes well.
