jessica04 agony auntLook, friends come and go, but you're stuck with your family. That's just all there is to it.

If your parents are abusive, then you need to tell another adult figure like a teacher or school nurse/ counselor, and they can report to the proper authorities.

I know it feels like your friends are the ONLY people who will ever understand you. I went through that too. But the day I turned 18, I instantly got along with my parents. They finally stopped trying to control me, and I was able to show them I could take care of myself.

I don't know anyone who absolutely has no problems with their family at your age. But don't be shortsighted.
