I hate this.
My family is like super poor right now. Usually we go out to eat every night & we are eating like.. spaghettios. My family wants to turn off the television, internet, and phones. This is making me extremely annoyed & I just don't know what to do. My mom and dad are all stressed and yell at me for no reason. What should I do?

alright..every family has their 'tight spots.' you need to understand this and support your parents. sometimes things get rough and if they need to cut down on this stuff then go along with it and do other things instead. i know life is gonna suck for a bit but think about the sweatshop factory workers in china making only 15 cents an hour..its pretty crazy. basically millions and millions of people around the country and the world have it a lot worse than you

Accept it.
My family also isn't that rich & I'm happy that we can afford the things that we can. I may not be eating take out everynight, and I might have to eat sandwiches constantly & drink water or whatever when there's nothing else, but it's honestly not that bad.
However, I've been pretty fortunate to keep my Internet & my cell phone. My TV was just cut off the other day though, and to tell you the truth - I can live without it. To be completely honest with you, being "poor" isn't as bad as it seems & you learn to appreciate your shit more. You also find more ways to better yourself. Listen to me when I say this: Money is nice to have, but it isn't everything.
You need to take that into consideration sometimes. Yes, money can feed you & help pay the bills & keep you in shelter, but it's not exactly the best thing either. There's lots of ways to blow it & get yourself in serious debt. And another thing: What's wrong with spaghettios? You say it like it's jail food or something. You sound like the type that craves something; not the type that's actually hungry. If you were REALLY hungry, you'd eat anything even if it was like.. spaghettios.
Learn to appreciate your things, stop thinking money is the center of your life, don't take your shit for granted, and if you're "super poor" then you need to get a job & help out; or at least cater to your parents needs because they're really stressed out. There's nothing wrong with being less fortunate, you just need to get your head outta your ass.

I highly doubt they mean to shout at you. As you've said, it is a pretty stressful time and it must be affecting them in alot of different ways.
All you can do is support their decisions if it comes to it. I'm sure they're only doing it as a last resort.
If you like, you can come up with ways to help them get money, such as selling things or perhaps you could even get a small job if you're old enough. Every little helps.
I hope things turn out fine soon.
