A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides.
If two of those sides are parallel, you have a trapezoid.
If four sides (two pairs) are parallel, you have a parallelogram
Then there are special cases of parallelograms:
1) If all 4 sides have equal length, you have a rhombus
2) If the angles are all 90 degrees, you have a rectangle
3) If the angles are all 90 degrees, and the sides are equal you have a square.
Given that you are asking for a quadrilateral with parallel sides (I assume you mean all sides), then your answer would be parallelogram.
Check the picture below for more details. Parallelogram is the figure in the upper right.

a quadrilateral is a 4 sided polygon (square, rectangle, kite)
if it has parallel sides as well then it is a rectangle, if all the sides are the same length, it is a square

I suspect you're referring to a parallelogram, although it seems you're doing so a bit hysterically...
