Why do your boss yawn everytime he sees you?

because YOU might be yawning too .. yawning can sometimes be contagious .. and it happens because of two theories .. 1st. Scientists believe that our yawn reflex may be a result of our evolutionary history. Yawning when others yawn has the effect of synchronizing a group of people. This sort of herd unity and synchronization would have been essential to the survival of our human ancestors in the wild 2nd. Another theory is that the contagiousness of yawning is due to specific brain neurons, called MIRROR NEURONS, which cause us to imitate what we see. When we witness a yawn, especially when we are in the same room with a person, it triggers these neurons to activate. When these mirror neurons activate in response to seeing someone yawn, they can cause us to do the same. so if ever you yawn in a closed room with your friends don't be surprised if you see them yawning too :]]

Why do my parents yell at me for the actions of my siblings?

I honestly think that they are not necessarily yelling at you. They may be doing a "blanket" yell in order to show 2 people at one time that they are not pleased with these actions, whatever they may be. What do you mean by yell at you for their actions? Do they blame you for what they did or simply include you in the yelling?

Is it bad when you yawn frequently?

It's not necessarily bad when you yawn frequently. A lot of people associate sleepiness or exhaustion with yawning. It may also mean you have a lack of oxygen. That could also explain why people yawn a lot when they first wake up. It's because when you are asleep, you don't breathe as often; just deeper. so, if you yawn frequently, you probably need to catch up on your sleep. I hope this helped
