my family tormented me as a kid?

. they never have talked to me, never encouraged me, they always hit me as a kid and not just a smack on the back of my hand they broke wooden spoons on me. you name it i got it done to me. they have treated my brother the opposite way they have never layed a finger on him never yelled at him gets everything handed to him he gets food junk food and drinks handed to him he says they do. and also every time i do a little thing wrong since i turned 10 they have called the cops on me and now i cant do anything because i have a record. the jobs i would be great at are now no hope for me. all because of my ""lovelly family"" i cant even be a security guard which would be my job because i choose to talk rather than fight. what can i do. my family have trapped me so i can not do anything but they keep on hurting me anyway they can

Update:

well yeah i spose i was raised as a soldier.

    your family sounds a little like mine. I joined the navy, I got as far away as I could, and them see that they could have a say in my life. As long as you haven't done anything to serious then it could be a last resort. But for now GET AWAY!

    If you are old enough to work, you are old enough to live someplace else. You could be a security guard at many places, you don't have to fight to control people. The thing is you are a young man now you are responsible for yourself, there is no point in blaming your family for your ills, its all up to you. Get out and get any job till the right job comes along, make your own life better.

    there is a excellent book by dave pelzer called the "child called it". there is also 2 other books in the series. they are a brilliant read. he went through the same thing you did and he tells how he survived and how he handled it. i should ask if you like to read? i would move as far away from them as possible and cut all ties with them until they can treat you how you deserved to be treated. this may take a very long time especially if they are selfish people. but you dont need them bringing you down.
