I have my permit and I drove just fine in my first driving class but when I drive with my parents they yell at me when I drive ok and it makes me really nervous. I really want to get my license but I can't stand driving with my parents, what should I do?

I had this same problem when I got my learner's permit. Just pretend your parents arnt there. If you made it through driving school, you should be ok. Or just be up front and honest with them. Next time your going out for a drive, tell them to please not say anything, and let you do the driving. Tell them, the more nervous you get, the more you really want to crash into something to shut them up..lol. It will be ok, when I was 16, I had to learn how to drive my dads van, and he kept yelling stop every 5 mins. Just ignore them, they'll figure it out sooner or later.

Its perfectly normal for you to be nervous with your parents. You dont want to let them down or make them think that youre not a competant driver. When you are in the car and they start yell or try to tell you how to drive, tell them that it really upsets you.
And youre trying your best but you can not have the distractions while you are behind the wheel of the car. And you dont want to be upset while they are in the car.
Another thing is to try and find someone else that you can drive with, other relatives or maybe your friends parents. Sometime its easier to talk to other parents than your own.

You won't be driving with your parents forever... bear with them. It's not easy putting your child behind the wheel of a 4 ton killing machine! And remember, you're what... 15? 16? They've been driving for a long time and they're probably afraid for you and want to make sure that you do everything correctly. When they start to yell, pull over, and tell them that they're not accomplishing anything by yelling at you! It just might work.

Girl thats only natural, you're going to feel this way, because this is your first time actually driving or whatever. But umm, as far as the parents yelling at you, tell them to stop yelling at you, because it ruins your concentration...

Same thing with me.
My dad yelled and my mom gasped ever time I hit the break.
My aunt ended up teaching me how. (i.e.. sat in the front seat on a country road and let me teach myself.)

Practice more. My nerves got to me when I started driving. I just practice more and I got over it.

OMG!!! I feel your pain!!! Just take deep breaths and think that it will all be over in a year. And remember not to do it when you have kids.
