You can talk to your parents when they are calm and tell them the way it makes you feel whenever they are shouting at you.

Avoid your parents if they're upset and talk to them about it when they're calm. If your parents get frustrated or upset again, walk away in a passive-aggressive way until they're calm. Try to keep a mental note on what upsets them so you can avoid them being upset altogether and everyone will feel better.

When someone is angry, they tend to say things and do things that they later regret. Know that it`s not your fault that they shout at you and you have done nothing wrong. Talking to them about how it makes you feel may help them to understand how what they are doing is affecting you. Staying calm when they do shout can help diffuse the situation.

I'm sorry that this is happening, this must be extremely frustrating and I completely understand what you're going through. Frustration is normal in our everyday life, but how your mom and dad react is not a reflection of you, but may be the frustrations in their own personal lives. This might be something that may be out of your control, however, what you are in control of is how you react to this. Each situation can very different, and unfortunately you aren't always able to choose the outcome, but you can always choose the best possible way respond when something like that happens.
