What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
If you and your parents do not see eye-to-eye, certain conflicts are inevitable. You may find yourself frequently frustrated with a disagreement. When a conflict does come up, talk it out. Plan a good time and place to talk over disagreements.  Pick the right time to talk. Remember that life is busy for adults, so make sure you know your parents' schedules. Think about when your parents are usually free. For example, maybe one or both of your parents are occupied on most weekday nights, but everyone tends to be home on Saturdays. Choose a location where everyone is comfortable and one that is free from outside distractions. For example, the living room may be a bad option if it contains the TV. Instead, opt to sit around around the kitchen table and talk. Before you talk with your parents, spend some time considering your own point of view. You want to identify the problem and your feelings surrounding it before going into the conversation. This way, you'll be better equipped to express your feelings.  It can help to write it out. Take a piece of paper and jot down the issue you're having. For example, "Mom and Dad won't let me go to a slumber party until I'm 12, so I'm missing my best friend's birthday." Now that you've identified your problem, write down your feelings. How and why do you feel you're being misunderstood? For example, "I feel like my parents don't understand how much Sophie means to me. I want to be a good friend and go to her party." Once you're ready to talk out the issue, be mature. You're unlikely to bridge any gaps by going into the situation with anger. Remaining calm, explain to your parents how and why you feel they're being unfair and how you feel you're being misunderstood.  Be clear, direct, and honest with your parents about how you feel. There is no sense withholding any information as you're striving to be understood. For example, state something like, "I feel sad that I can't go to Sophie's party. It's important for me to be a good friend to her, and I feel like you don't understand that." As you talk, try to understand your parents' point of view. Why might your parents not want you to attend this party? Do they have any good reasons? You should not whine or complain when talking to your parents. If you maintain a friendly and respectful tone, you're more likely to communicate effectively. If your parents do not change their minds, do not yell or sulk. Say something like, "I understand you don't want me to go to the party, but I want you to understand where I'm coming from." If your parents do not understand you, they may not ever agree with you in regards to certain things. In these cases, part of acceptances is agreeing to disagree. If there's still misunderstanding between you and your parents after a discussion, work on accepting the fact and moving forward.  There may be room for compromise in some situations. For example, your parents may agree you can attend your friend's party, as long as you don't sleepover. However, compromise is not possible in all situations. If you and your parents can't find a way to meet each other halfway, you'll need to agree to disagree. Remember, you're your own person. You have a set of thoughts, values, and opinions that will not always align with your parents. You can follow your parents' rules, especially if you are still living at home, but keep in mind you do not have to agree with them. It's okay to have differences of opinions between yourself and your parents.
Plan a talk when an issue comes up. Identify your problems and your feelings. State your point of view with maturity. Avoid whining or complaining. Agree to disagree.
