Home More advice Parents & Family
They most likely won't listen because they're already angry. When people are angry, a lot of the time they shut down and don't really want to hear any more of what was going on. Due to this, they shout. When one person yells, everyone does.
My suggestion? After you've had an argument with your brother, go to your room or go away from him. After everyone has cooled off (maybe later in the day), sit down with one of your parents and calmly explain what happened. Before you talk to them, however, ask them if now is a good time to talk. If they want to talk, chances are things will go over a lot more smoothly. When you talk, be cool. Be calm. Don't yell. You'll get your point across much easier.
It depends on what you are saying.
If your saying stuff like...
I think that we should all get piercings, they are not going to listen, this is just an example.
But if you are saying something that matters to you and that is not stupid, then i think that meaby you should talk to them and let them know that them not listening to you is hurting you.
srry didnt say why if me and my brother have an argument or me and one of my parents then all they do is get on to me when i try to tell them whats wrong they shout and get angry and dont actually listen to me whitch makes me angry and i shout back and get annoyed whitch makes them more angry people cant solve arguments if somebody wont listen
Yeah parents/people dont tend to listen when their angry, just wait til theyve calmed down and try talk to them then, until then, try disapear into your room or something and keep out the way, i used to hate doing that, so i just went out wiwth friends to get it out of my mind, that always works too X
Because I think there's a thing where parents can't understand you cos they're not your age :/
Don't worry, I keep telling my dad I'm Pagan and bi [I'm both of them :D] and he thinks I'm taking the p!ss and won't listen xP :3
Because you are their kid, and they "own" you. There are things you can do to earn their respect, however that doesn't directly affect the way they act toward you. Believe me, many kids have asked the same question.
