Try to explain to your parents why you don't want to do it. In any relationship it's important to set boundaries even with our parents. They tend to think that they know best, but they need to realize that their children are living breathing people with their own emotions opinions and dreams.

we shouldn't tell no directly.we should convince with them and the best thing is let them realise that what is good.you should keep both plans(yours and parents)before them,sit politely and explain every cons and pros.i think they will definitely choose the Wright one.

I think if you just be honest and tell them that you don't want to do as long as your reasonable with them hopefully they will be reasonable with you :)

Express how you feel. Your parents love you, I'm sure that they will understand your situation and have you not do anything at all. If that's not the case, wait for them to explain as to why they need you to fulfill their task and hopefully, you'll understand their reasons.

It depends on what they want you to do if they want you to do something that they feel will help you in some way i think that you should give it a try, if its something not really of any importance I thick you should tell them that you make your own decisions and you don't want to do this thing.

Repeat is key when communicating with parents about disagreements. You should try to first understand why you don't want to do it, that way you will be able to communicate to your parents why you don't want to do it. If is is something you feel strongly about, hopefully your parents will understand you preferences on the subject.

They are your parents, if you still live with them they are one step down from government.
Do what they say, you'll know why later.
I promise,

Asking them nicely to respect your decisions is the best way to go. Also, give them all of your reasons of why you're saying no.

You got to convense them. Just explain them that it is not what you want to do, it again depends on why you don't want to do that.
