Talking To Authority Figures Who Seem Unreasonable

I explain how to talk to authority figures who seem to be acting unreasonably.  These people could be parents, teachers or professors, school administrators, supervisors at work, or any other authority figure.

I explain that the two key ideas are, one, to work out your own frustration and stay respectful and focused on listening and understanding where they are coming from, and two, to be persistent.  I then give some examples of doing this effectively, from my own life.
