If you are under age and the abusive is too much please report it to a school personal or a adult family member that can help. If you are 18 and above think of giving yourself some space from that particular person. Maybe by leaving away from them will be a start.

This is a tough situation. If there is any possibility you can move out, it would be beneficial to your mental health. Whether you move in with another relative, friend, apartment, etc. You do not deserve to be emotionally abused - nobody does, and it can be quite damaging to you. Talking to a therapist could be very beneficial to you as well.

Seek help. Call a crisis line if things gt really bad. Look into alternate living arrangements if possible. Develop a safety plan if things at home escalate and you need to get out. Seek out a counsellor or psychologist.

If its too much abusive for you, report it to someone who care for you, like an elder friend or relatives whom you can believe at. But don't get yourself into trouble while doing this.

First you must advocate for yourself and take the first step and say what you need. You also can seek outside help from your Doctor or speak to a counselor.

I think talking to someone is the best thing you can do. Talking to a teacher or calling a helpline can be really helpful. The helpline from your country will tell you where you can go and what you can do to get help. You're very brave. It's great that you're trying to find a way out!

Try and seek help from someone close to you. If you are being abused, seek help immediately, whether it's someone close to you, the police or just a hotline.

I know that feeling all too well I learned to not let them do that to me because it really messes with your head. If they don't change it's best to be around someone who had a positive energy.
