Tough spot, I don't know what you could do really. Couples who have kids and are thinking of divorcing are too caught up in what's going on between them to notice the pain it causes the kids so many times. Don't be completely silent about it if it comes down to them divorcing, perhaps if they see how much it's going to affect your life, they will try harder to work on it and work things out. It's really about all you can do. My son heard his mother say years later "it didn't really seem to bother my kids that much" and he called her out. Told her that she was so dead set on it, there was nothing anyone could say she would listen to anyway, so he just kept his mouth shut, but it made his life miserable for the first year or so. She didn't feel so great about it then. Maybe if he'd talked to her then, we might have had a chance, I was more than willing to change a lot of things, go to counseling, sell my race car, find things that we could do together, but she was done.

There isn't much you can do.
Couples fight. That's pretty normal. It doesn't necessarily mean they are going to get a divorce. I remember when I was in 7th grade my parents had a bad fight that lasted almost 2 weeks. But they're still happily married (and I'm 23 now).

Parents fighting is very scary. I know.
But, a fight doesn't mean for sure that they will get a divorce. Married couples fight.
The best you can do is give them privacy. Fighting is two adults trying to communicate. So sometimes the fight eventually gets settled. Other times it doesn't get settled, just comes back over and over, and eventually they give up.
Stay out of the fight, out of their way, and please please don't think that the fight is your fault.
Hopefully you have a sibling, friend, aunt, cousin, teacher, someone who you can talk to when you're upset about their fighting.

There isn't much but maybe go take a walk, go play with some friends in your neighborhood, and get out for awhile? Sometimes grown ups disagree, just like you and your friends disagree. Just because they fight doesn't mean they will divorce, sometimes people just disagree. Hang in there, it'll be okay!!
