Oh honey, a parallelogram is like a rectangle that's been through a bad breakup - its opposite sides are parallel but not necessarily equal in length.

A parallelogram is a four-sided polygon with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length. Objects that can look like a parallelogram include rectangles, rhombuses, and squares.

Try looking at a rhombus, maybe that will help.
A trapezoid and parallelogram are both quadrilaterals. Their top and bottoms are parallel. In a parallelogram, all four sides are parallel making it look like a rectangle that was pushed on an angle. The trapezoid is more like the shape of an "A" with a square top.
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length. Its opposite angles are also equal in measure. The shape of a parallelogram can vary, but it always has pairs of parallel sides. It can look like a rectangle, a rhombus, or a square, depending on the specific characteristics of its angles and sides.
