My brother and sister are constantly mean to me and are always calling me names. My mom is always picking at me, and screaming at me for the littlest things i do wrong or don't do like she wanted me to. I have no way to vent out my anger other than taking it out on my friends. I recognize that i do that, and i apologize to my friends, but im afraid one day my friends will leave me. They don't understand what i have been through. My parents don't abuse me, but they are constantly yelling. I have thought about suicide, but i know that if i did it, my family would be devastated. i haven't attempted it yet. I can't tell my mom and dad what my brother and sister do to me, because they always make up an excuse or say "I didn't do that, why would i do that" and mty mom always believes them. I don't know who i can talk to.
Please help me......im desprete

Hey, First of all jon's venting suggestions are great and so is tosh13's idea of a tape recorder. As for not being abused you are being emotionally and verbally abused and this type of abuse while is sometimes harder to see has long term effects on your self esteem and on your ability to have relationships with people. By taping your family you will be able to show them that you are in fact being treated unfairly, if the situation doesn't change I really would recommend that you talk to another adult that you trust, let someone now how you are feeling.

If you ever need to vent and just let out all that you are feeling, please feel free to send me a message here I will gladly listen anytime.
