My parents make me feel horrible. Advice?
My parents always cuss at me, call me names, and say really mean things to me. I hate talking to them cause whenever I do I always say things that they dont like (not on purpose) and they start yelling at me. when I cry they call me a baby and while im crying they constantly say these horrible things that put me down and make me cry more. I hate coming home from school cause I know there gonna do it again. I tell them I hate them sometimes, but I know I shouldnt. when I try to tell them this they dont listen and say im overreacting or "im way worse to them". what should I do to get this to stop?

Try to sit down and seriously talk to them. Tell them what u just told me, if they love u and respect u they will aleast try to listen. If they refuse or if they keep doing this to you talk to ur friends or an older adult Like an aunt or grandmother. They could help u also. Good luck I have family problems too. Ur not alone. :)

I think you really need to talk to a school counselor about this. I don't know what age/grade you are, but all schools have a counselor you can talk to about this. Or a teacher, if you have a teacher you trust a lot. A lot of people, even parents who should take care of their kids, don't know how to communicate appropriately.
You should not be trying to resolve this issue alone, or on Yahoo Answers. You and your parents need to get help. There may be a variety of things a school counselor, teacher, etc. can recommend. One might be that you three go to family counseling together to become better communicators. Please don't do nothing about this...you need to be treated better. This is not how parents should treat their children, and they need to be called out on it.

talk to a school counselor. Talk to your parents and tell them that you feel really hurt when they act mean towards you and that you want to have a mature conversation with them since they are adults and yelling is not necessary.

Definitly talk to some school authorities, like a counsler, teacher, or principal, and tell them this. Tell a relative. Ask them to please be helpful to you, call a therapist, a counsler, anything. Say you have to take a test after school or work on a project, and you can go to counsling. You can even ask them to go.

I would suggest seeing a social worker (maybe having someone to talk to may make you feel better. It helps me). If its really that bad, I suggest seeing an authority figure of some sort that can intervene, because your parents should never make you that miserable.

I say family counseling, if they refuse to go...go to the counsel by yourself and talk it over. What your parents are doing is a form of abuse(mental abuse). If you are young this can seriously threaten your growth into your adolescent or adult years.
If you dont feel comfortable talking to a counselor you dont know, speak to people you know and trust.

if you cant talk to them. get an older person to talk to them for you. They might listen to them more since they are not "just a kid"
