Show them that you're doing your best at what they expect from you! Get them to know who you are, in an honest and frontal conversation. Show them your true colors.

when I was young I used to just step away and go outside where I could give them a chance to calm down. Trying to open up when somebody is yelling unfortunately doesn't always come out with good results because you find yourself caught in a web where you are yelling right back I understand our parents go through a lot of stresses and when we are coming in even for the smallest thing such as Mom what color out there is what I look good in today red or blue and right away they snap at you they don't mean to snap it's just that there are things that has caught them and a very bad moment when you see the situation come down it is always good to ask mom or dad are you okay can we talk about something that is on my mind and you will know right off the bat if it is indeed a good time or not for me that is my personal experience

I have a mum who is constantly yelling; mostly because she tends to let everything get to her. It became a bad habit and sometimes it's hard for her to change it. If your parents are yelling all the time, you need to remember that it's not an issue with you, it's an issue with them.
The first thing I would try is to approach your parents in a calm manner and sit them down like adults. Ask them if they would please speak to you as they would like to be spoken to, and there's no need to get through this discussion loudly.
It's understandably difficult to stay calm in an argument, even I still struggle with this. But by keeping a level head, the person you are talking to will more likely bounce off of that. If this does not work, remember that every situation is different and sometimes you have to keep looking for solutions until you find the right one.
If you feel that what they're yelling about is impacting you negatively and taking a toll on your mental health, I would suggest you find your local emotional abuse hotline or perhaps if you are more comfortable talking to a good friend you can trust. Either way, it's okay to talk it out.

Try to understand where your parents are coming from. What exactly are they yelling at you for? Recognise what the problem is.

You can't. You can, however, avoid their verbal abuse, enlist the help of other trusted friends and adults to confront the yelling, and let them know exactly how damaging and painful their actions are.

Relationships are a lot of give and take. It can be very frustrating when you feel you are doing all you can, and all you get in return is mistreatment. I sometimes have to stop and ask myself, "Am I providing to my parents what they need?" Sometimes it is something as simple as putting the dishes away. The best thing I can suggest is to try communicating better. Maybe simply ask them what they need from you would be a good start. And try to remember not to recoil with anger when they start yelling. Hope this help!

Sit down with your parents and have a honest, heart-to-heart conversation. Tell them how you feel, and listen to what they are saying in return.

How about taking a deep breath and trying to talk to them? Sometimes family can be stressful but it can improve a lot if you remain calm and try to be honest about how they are making you feel. Judging by my own experiences this seem to work, honesty and calm are always a good choice.
