Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here is some advice for you.
Don't argue with your parents. Don't try to talk about something with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't listen to you if you are shouting at them. Go somewhere else to cool off. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you think you can't speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter to them.
Try to understand your parents. Your parents may think differently from you. Tell your parents what you think, what you care about and why. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. Put yourself in their shoes and you may find a better way out.
