I think the best way to make your parents listen to you is to remain calm when talking to them. Try not to raise your voice, and just calmly say, I have something to say, can you guys just listen to me for a minute, so something along those lines, and then tell them :)

Wait for an opportunity for example ask your parents to take you out for dinner. Once at dinner and you have enjoyed your meal , let them know that you want to talk to them about something important. Ensure that the setting is calm and if the matter is sensitive, make sure that everyone is well supported.

Parents have more experience in life and sometimes it may feel like they don't understand. They just probably want to prevent you from getting hurt because they love you. I really think the best way is to sit down and have "heart-to-heart" talk with them. Your parents love you no matter what and they will be there for you if you need help.

Try to be calm with your answers. When you're angry you can start off on the wrong foot and imply something entirely different than what you actually wanted to imply. I wish you luck.

I think you have to try to appeal to what they would agree with, that's what's always worked for me.

Reason with them and try to make them see how you see the issue and give them a better understanding

You cannot make your parents listen to you, they are your parents and they know the best for you. If it's about the constant pressurizing, then you can tell them it is bothering your worth ethics and they will understand.

Try talking to them, explain the way you feel and that you would like them to take a moment to hear what you have to say x

See the thing I some parents honestly don't know how to listen, but that's not every case all you need to do is think as if you where in their shoes.
