I swear parents are the most stubborn! and are always right!,., But there is a trick, Yes! You've gotta catch them in a relaxed, or quiet, mood or even in a time where you can bond and spend quiality time with them. Understand your self first make sure its what you really want and know, be mature about it and State < what you want to say in a firm calm mood and make sure to say you respect them at the end.

You can never make them listen to you fully. Approach them in a calm and collected way without yelling

Well you can't just make them listen to you, you have to help them understand what you are trying to tell them.

Earn their trust and show them that you are your own person, with feelings and ideas and that you have important things to say. Also remember to respect them since they are the ones who helped you become the great person you are today 😊

You need to think about the outcome of speaking to your parents. Will your parents punish you? Will they support you? If they would punish you, you have to think 'is it better to be heard and punished' ( i think yes). If you have decided that it is best to tell them, then you could text them, make a video or just talk to them straight out

some parent are kind and some are not really that nice to you,i suggest you have to wait the right time to talk to her,i reccomend you to be nice first and ask little question for example,"mom/dad,can we go to theather someday" if they responding nicely to you and you feel satisfied with their answer frequently,i think its the perfect time to tell what do you really want them to listen,i do not reccomend to say right of the bat

I would say try to get their attention, but I don't want you to seem desperate. Ask your parents if you guys could talk privately. Like a meeting. Do it on a day when you're not busy. When the "meeting" starts, talk to her about how you've been feeling lately.

Sometimes, parents forget that they need to listen to their children just as much as the children need to listen to them, but you can do a few things to try and make them realize this.
The first thing you should do is try to catch your parents in a good mood, they're more likely to understand you if you catch them at a time when they aren't thinking about things that are stressing them out or making them mad.
Second, you should get both of them in the same room, they should both be present for the entire talk so you don't have to repeat yourself and get frustrated.
Third, stay calm and be mature. Even though you're their child, you shouldn't act too childish or they won't feel the need to pay a lot of attention. Make it known that this is an adult conversation. Also, if they're busy, don't throw a fit or insist the conversation to happen right away, they'll just put it off longer.
Fourth, state your problem or what you need to talk about in a way that makes it sound interesting and like something they should hear out. Be prepared to answer all of the questions they have and always start with the positives.
All of these steps should help you at least start a good, adult conversation with your parents without yelling or ignoring or whatever the problem may be that you can't get them to listen, but even if it doesn't work the very first time, try again another day. Give them time to think. Put in a few extra steps that you know your parents will notice you need them.
