They think there way is always the best. I have tried convinsing them and also tried to show them the other side of the picture but they never listen and start arguing. I am so scared cuz I donno where this is going to lead all of us please tell me any duas to make during this month of ramadan and any help or suggestions or tips u can offer me to make things better? also please note I don't misbehave with them nor do I yell or scream to make my point through but their constant negativeness annoys me.
Answer
To convince one's parents is not always an easy task, but always remember that you must always respect you parents ans follow them as long as their request s are within the Shariah. If this is not possible and you have tried to talk to them with wisdom and they are still not changing then you need to dicuss this problem with an elder that they show some respect to and ask of him to talk to the parents, this would help, Inshallah.
You must also make a lot of Dua for Allah to guide them and us all to attain understanding. You can make the following Dua, "All praise is due to Allah Who saved me from which He tested you with and Who most certainly favoured me over much of His creation." Also "Allah is sufficient for me and how fine a trustee (Allah is)."
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
