Hi my parents are very abusive and they are always physically hurting me. When I ask them why they are doing this they say it’s because you need to learn. my dad always hits me and it has left permenant marks. My mom does the same too. I get really annoyed when they do it and I really really want to put an end to it. I just don’t what to do, or who to talk to..

Hello there,
I just wanted to post here to say Sophie_M's suggestion to call those support lines is very good. It is not okay that you are being hurt and they can help talk to you about what to do.
Otherwise, we are here to just have a chat too if you'd like.
Hope to hear from you again.
James

Hi and welcome,
i hope things are going okay for you.... quite often one of the biggest issues in situations like you explain is communication.... I hope you can find someone to help you communicate with your parents and vice versa. Please reach out and get help. You’ve made a great first step in opening up.
Keep us updated if you feel comfortable.
