I no longer live with my parents so most times I don't even know they are fighting.

Been there myself. Both as a kid and as the Dad! Big question: Are you in danger in any way? If so, call a relative go somewhere. If it's bad, call 911. Is it physical fighting? I wouldn't let it happen. But.. . . adults do argue and it is normal. I don't think you should hear it. Suggest some counseling. Ask your church. See if you can get a promise from both of them to attend as a family. Don't try to do this alone. Ask an adult you trust for some advice.

That is a very tough question that I think has a different answer for each situation. Because of the feelings for your parents it's normal to want to get involved in order to bring their fighting to an end. But only you know at what level they fight at, some people scream and yell and mean to cause no one any harm others scream and yell and become violent. So it is very important to understand what kind of fight is going on. When you become involved you stand the chance of getting hurt or escalating the fighting that is already going on. So back to the question of what kind of fight do your parents have is very important, if they scream and yell but get over it without any violence then you may do good by reminding them that their fighting is hurting you. But if they become violent then it is best to call a police officer, stay out of their fight and wait for the police officer to arrive. This will make them mad, but it will keep one of your parents from becoming badly injured. It is sad that most people fight about silly things that hardly affect their lives. Good luck and keep yourself safe.

My parents fight all the time. If you are at your house, or somewhere where you can get away from the fight, do so. Go to your room, and read or listen to music. Do something that disconnects you.
My parents had a HUGE fight this saturday in the car. it was just me and them, no sister. I had brought my book, so I just read that. But if I don't have it, I just try to forget it's happening. It usually works.

try to remove yourself from the situation. if they're in the house, get out of it. and just remember that what they're fighting over has nothing to do with you. i know you might want to be the mediator at times, but try not to get in the middle of it. if you have younger siblings who are also hearing the fighting, try to get them somewhere where they can't hear it either. or if you have older siblings, ask them if they can take you somewhere. when your parents have calmed down you should take one of them aside and ask them why they're fighting. tell them how you feel about it and how you don't like it and it's bothering you. hopefully you'll get some answers. good luck.

Well my parents fought all the time. Heck they still do. My mom and me moved out. but everytime they fought the worse ways. The police would come. nd when this happend I would usually have one of my animals with me, go to my room, sit on my bed, pray and cry.

You just need to stay out of your parents way when they fight. Remember they still love you, they just are having a hard time getting along.

hmmm... this is a tough one without details because I wouldn't want you to put yourself in danger. Generally, it is best to remind angry parents that you are there. They need to know the impact their arguing is having on you - and it's best that they hear it directly from you. "Mom, dad -- I get very sad and worried when I hear/see you fight like that."

Tell your school teacher or school counselor.

I used to hide somewhere and read or get out of the house, but you shouldn't have to deal with that as a child.
