Q.	My parents fight a lot. Afterward my mom's still angry, and she yells at me. I don't know what to do. Can you help me? Katie, 12 Pennsylvania
A.	Knowing your parents are fighting is a tough (and uncomfortable) situation. It's not fun seeing or overhearing an argument no matter who's involved. If your parents are fighting, it's best to give them privacy. Move to an area in your house away from their dispute. After the argument is over, your mom may have many different feelings. She might not be sure how to handle her emotions, so yelling is a way to let out her frustration. Realize she needs you to cooperate in order to get through the tough times. The best thing for you to do is be willing to listen and help her any way you can. If she doesn't need your help, quietly read a book or listen to music in your room. Once things have cooled down, try talking to your mom about what happened. Tell her when she raises her voice, it scares you and you're not sure what to do. Above all, let Mom know you love her by being patient and understanding.
