your parents love you. sometimes when parents are confronted with the fact that their child is struggling it is easier to be frustrated at the situation  blaming it on attitude because that goes away. There is no change they need to make with that mindset or even guilt sometimes (thoughts like what did I do wrong for my child to feel this way? are common when facing such realizations). to help create an open discussion asking 'is it an okay time to talk?' shows maturity and also gives them a moment to prepare whether they answer yes or no. (respect if they say no it wont help either of you pushing) If you prefer to have more time to think it out write before hand to help streamline your points or even just hand them what you wrote giving themm a chane to read and process before even having to respond to you. I am sorry it didnt work out talking beforebut these tips can hopefully help make conversations more productive.
