Im sorry thus is very bad written but English isn’t my first language and i need the help this is eating me alive.

I am sorry this is happening to you. Unfortunately, there’s likely not much you can do. You should tell your parents how their behavior is negatively impacting your life. If they knew, perhaps things would change. If they won’t listen, try speaking to the school guidance counselor or another trusted adult. They may be able to help.

If none of those ideas are effective, find other things to occupy your time. For instance, try to be with friends more. The goal is to insulate yourself from these deeply distressful situations, if possible.

The bottom line is this: do what you can to positively affect this situation but realize that your power is limited. Once you’ve done that, you’ve done all you can. Sometimes, all that one can do is endure the difficult times and have faith that eventually they will pass. I wish you the best of luck. Please take care.
