Don't ! Just don't buy into fighting with them. Be silent and listen. Then calmly discuss things. If you are a minor you need to listen more whether you agree or not. Usually, (Usually) Parents are right and looking out for your best interest and you should be aware of this and listen more. As an Adult you can calmly and properly discuss matters.

Communication is key, failure to communicate about your problems can lead to further misunderstandings and arguments. Try to talk through the argument with your family in a caring, nonconfrontational way.

Give everyone some space and time to think about the situation. Once you're all calmed down and thinking clearly you can talk about it reasonably with them.

Discuss options as civilised as possible. Never resort to yelling as it may aggravate the situation.

The best way to overcome any argument would be to talk it out...unless it's passed that point. Tell your family how you really feel about the situation. If you don't talk about what's bothering you...you can never find a solution.

I believe that the best way to overcome an argument with your family, is to talk to your family about how the argument has made you feel, walk away to calm down, and focus on the positive effects of this argument, rather than the negative.

There will always be difference of opinions, Valuing and respecting what person think is the way we can overcome Argument. Argument are there when the views don't match, Listening and accepting the person, then Seeing if there is your fault, then analyzing it on your beliefs, if there is your mistake then accept it and then move forward with it. If there is not your mistake, and still other is argumentative, accept that it's okay if he can't understand. And move forward

Just talk it out with them. Explain to them how you feel and how you felt about their reaction. Some families don't react the way you'd like them to but, people are people and they live how they live. We just have to accept that and not dwell on it. Just explain to them how you see the problem and a way you think would be a nice way to overcome that issue.

In my personal experience it is the best to calm down and go over the argument in your head before sitting down with your family and discuss what happened between you them. It's important to communicate in a healthy and fair way. Try to sent "I" messages rather than "you" messages in order to not give the others a feeling of being attacked. Share your emotions and how you feel and ask them to do the same.
