Should I call the police on my parents for emotional abuse?
I'm 17 years old and my parents aren't nice to me. They call me a criminal because I take food from the pantry without asking and other things. They don't give me privacy in my room my door always has to stay open at all times even my bathroom door as well which is flat out embarrassing. My parents make me follow a point system which in this system they expect me to be near perfect to even get privileges. They gossip about my so called behavior behind my back when they think I'm not listening. They even control some friends I can hang out with and can't hang out with. My parents also make me do physical activity to the point I can't breathe for air and yet I'm fit and I have to keep on doing it until I reach their standards of perfect. They use manipulative behavior to control me and my actions even when I'm sticking up for my own good for example you have lost so and so forever or a year or a month. They also deny that they could be emotionally abusing me and I've brought it up a couple times they thought I was insane and crazy and its made me feel insecure about my thoughts and words. They actually in fact blame the disrespect and the talk back on me even though I'm only sticking up for myself. Out of my entire family I'm the only one who can't work in their room I'm also the only one having to keep my bed and bathroom door open at all times and am the only one on the point system. Recently I've had thoughts of suicide because I can't take it anymore btw my parents are rich
