I write them letters. Sometimes I send them to them, other times I keep them in my drawer or in my journal. It doesn't matter so much as long as I can write down my feelings, and sometimes it only takes a little note to my mom or dad saying I love them to make things right. Not always, but sometimes.

Depending on whether you want to speak to them or you want it to remain this way. If you want to speak with them then solve whatever is going on between u guys. If not then you will have to make friends or talk to people closest to you like extended family members.

The easiest way is to talk to them or drop by at their place. Don't know your history but usually parents tend to forgive.

It's understandable that you miss your parents! Many crave a connection with people who are important to them. Do you have other people in your life who are important to you? You can take comfort in your other relationships even if you cannot connect with your parents at the moment. Maybe you can reconnect with them later in life if they choose so, but until then, you can find comfort in your other relationships. Remember, you can always come to 7 cups to find someone to talk to. There is always someone willing to listen to you speak. Don't be afraid to seek out willing ears!

I would try to reflect on what happened a try to talk to them, maybe apologize if an apology was needed? im sure your parents are great and things will workout just fine in the end and you guys will talk to each other again very soon. coping is different for everyone and unique, but things that would help me in situation like that would be talking to my friends, boyfriend, sibligs, going on walks, being with my dog etc. I hope everything goes well and you will be doing fine very soon. Keep your head up and be positive.

You can do little things for them. For example make them breakfast, or buy them a gift, to show them that you miss them. You doing that will show them that you miss and appreciate them.

It is very difficult to cope with parents not being around. It might be helpful to try to think and find out the reason why they are not speaking with you. Reflect on the past during the time you are calm. Is there something you could do to repair the relationship? Do not push yourself or judge. Just think that sometimes parents have a hard time too and might not know how to talk to you first. Be brave and open minded. Feel free to use a paper and pen to write down all the good things you have done for your parents. Look at them and be proud of yourself. Never lose hope!
