Talk to them about how you feel and see why they are always yelling at you. Sometimes when people are stressed out or upset, they redirect anger onto another person, This is called self-reflection.

My mother put a lot of stress on me as a teenager to keep the house in order since I didn't have a job, she often would yell at me if I forgot something. One of the most important things you can do with anyone in your life is communicate with them and let them know what effect their yelling has on you, and that you want to do better and try to work out the issues without confrontation.

As a parent I can say that yelling is usually out of frustration. And for me, it never feels good to yell. When you feel like you're not being heard in life, as a human being you're either going to yell or just stop talking. So maybe to get your parents to stop yelling, let them know that you are hearing them and you are listening to them, even if you don't always agree.

It's important to remember that your parents are people too. They may not always listen in the ways that we hope they would but do your best to communicate clearly and ask them how you could help and work with one another instead of against each other.

I used to think of the exact same problem when i was a teen. i'm 25 and married now. It still happens on and off. Unfortunately, its not something which is in your control. Whether they do it for good or for bad (most often for the good), parents will always be parents. The more older i got the lesser the yelling was. Now that i'm an adult and even thinking of kids someday, i understand why they do what they do and know that i too will act the exact same way someday with my kids. Be patient. They're your parents after all and someday you'll be thankful for the way they brought you up.

Perhaps you could have a conversation with your parents about any unresolved issues you have with each other. This could allow you to figure out if there are any unresolved issues causing tension.

You could tell them it's bothering you, that might make a change. And if not, try not to yell back. Yelling back will cause more yelling. If you stay calm and answer back in a normal voice they will voice down.

Parents are people too. They often forget what it is like to be young and experiencing certain things. They do not mean to yell. You can go to your parents and try to explain that yelling is not helping you and making you feel a certain way. Another way to cope is to understand they are human too and do not always know how to handle their emotions.

sometimes parents yell at you because they think they are doing the best for you. they dont want you making mistakes and getting hurt. sometimes you just need patience with them.

Talk to your parents. If you are disobeying them or talking back, instead take the high road and listen. If they are truly just taking all their anger out on you, sit down and have a conversation later in the day. Walking away from the fight will give them a chance to cool off.
