try to listen to music,
close the door of your room,
and in a quiet moment, tell each of your parents
that their arguing really upsets you

That's really a difficult situation for you. You can't get between them when they argue, and if they hardly talk, the atmosphere around your house must be frigid. At this point, you need to talk to an adult. If you go to church, you could talk to your pastor, or minister, or rabbi. If you don't, maybe you could talk to one of your grandparents, or an aunt or uncle, if any of them live near you.
As a last resort, you could write them a letter telling them that it really hurts you to hear them arguing and not speaking to each other and ask if they could get some help to resolve their difficulties.

That might sound strange, but if a 10-year old asks them to see a marriage counsellor, it might just give them enough of a shock that they will do something about the situation, as obviously, they have no idea how it is affecting you.

You sound like a very level headed kid, and I hope this works out for you.

Tell your parents to STOP arguing in front of you... Tell them it is really bothering you and if they continue you will call Dr. Phil.....Better yet you will dial 911 and call and tell the police. You should not have to live like this. They are stealing your innocent childhood and they are being selfish...You can show them this email if you like.. May be a wake up call for 2 dummies

They might not realize that their arguing is affecting you. When they start to argue, maybe you could go outside or watch TV. When they've calmed down, tell them that it's hurting you to see them argue like that. That may not prevent them from arguing, but it may stop them from arguing in front of you.

Don't take it to heart, hun. They have issues with each other that have nothing to do you with, ok?

Ask them if they will consider going to see a counselor.Tell them how it hurts you when they argue. Remind them that they, as your parents have a responsibility to be role models for you.Tell them that by being kind to each other would set a better example for you.

Sit down with them and let them know that it really bothers you when they argue let them know how you feel..Maybe it will help or start them thinking about arguing less and getting along more

There is nothing you can do. This is a problem between them. Unfortunately it does involve you because you have to hear them fighting. Maybe you could tell them how much it upsets you.

not much you can do just know it is not your fault. Talk with each of them separately and tell them how you feel when you hear that don't try to tell them to stop tell them how your gut and your head feel and how it scares you they will see it from your side. Good Luck
