If your having a hard time trying to talk in an argument than what I would do is just ask if you can have five minutes of uninterrupted talk time than the can have five minutes and after that it might be easier share you feelings. However if you just want to talk and its not really a fight than I would just try to get some alone time with the person or people you want to talk with and just be clear that you need to talk about something that is important to you.

When speaking to your parents, if you want them to take you seriously, let them know that you are serious. This can be done by your posture, tone of voice, or by simply telling them you need to have a serious conversation with them.

Sit down with them and have a mature conversation without getting angry as best you can. State your idea and reason logically.

Parents always stress about that they want to see maturity out of their kids. That would be a wise choice. To come it as a fellow adult with out using blaming words. You can talk your side of your opinions as much as you want, but in they end you cannot force someone to do something. But you can be proud of yourself for speaking your mind in a respectful manner.

Getting a parent to listen or to be open-minded about what you’re experiencing, can be really hard. Unfortunately we can never force someone to accept the things we say, however we can always leave them with the knowledge of how we feel. From personal experience, writing an open letter can be very helpful. A letter takes a lot of the pressure/fear of conflict away from a situation. Writing an open letter also gives you time to focus on how you feel, which is really important; a letter also gives you a chance to articulate the information in a manageable way. Leaving the reader with a letter, gets all the information you want to be herd out. Hope this helps, Ash

First of all, you have to approach them in a calm way. Do not yell, and talk in a normal tone of voice. Try to catch them in a good moment, when they have time and are not in a bad mood. And if you want them to listen, you have to listen to them too. That way you can understand each other better.

Do not shout at them or say hurtful things to them. Sit them down and talk calmly and responsibly.

You have to be calm and respectful, and it doesn't hurt if you've been really good for a while before trying to talk to them.
