My parent wants me to do something I don't want to do, how can I tell them no?

That depends what it is they're wanting you to do. If it's a responsibility within the household that won't harm you to do so sometimes it's best to just get it over and done with, it it's something that makes you uncomfortable then if you struggle telling them verbally sometimes writing a letter expressing your feelings can help.

This is one of the hardest things you can do, but lay out all of the reasons why you don't want to do it and talk to them about it.

Try talking things out in a serious mode and learn how to get their attention. Let them know how important it is to be independent and to have your own opinion without being alienated and chastised.

You need to approach them in a calm matter, and just take it slowly. They're probably gonna want an explanation as to why you do not want to partake in the certain activity, be cool and collected and stay confident.

by truly explain to them how you feel you can tart out by "i know you told me to do... but I'm not comfortable" or " Your not going to like this but I didn't do ... because I felt..."

Even parents can be distructive at certain times, the fact that they are your parent doesn't mean you should do something that genuinly makes you uncomfortable (not wanting to clean your room doesn't count lol). Sit your parent down and explain to them why you are refusing to do what they ask you to do. Explain to them how it's impossible for you to do what they ask. If they refuse to listen to you, stay polite but keep saying you can't do it. If you begin to feel unsafe at any point, leave the situation and let them cool down.

Tell your parents how you feel and explain why you feel that way. As parents we only want whats best for you and sometimes we think we know what's best but only you can know what's best for you. They'll understand. Every parent knows that their child has to make their own decisions in life. We simply just try to guide them down a path that will limit the harm.

Explain to them why you would rather not do it in a calm, respectful manner. Outlining your reasons.

Well in cases were we want to tell parents our need.. and when they are so strong and rigid of what tjey want us to do, the main is to maintain poise.. if we shout and yell at them, they become more stuborn.. present the need with clear pros and cons... and hope you get it..

You should be very polite to them because when you get rude believe me they will get rude too. It is like action reaction. Do something nice like helping your mother or father and make them appreciate your work. After that they will have more tolerance to you when you say that you don't want to do what they want you to do but the clue is to be polite don't forget!
