well this happened 2 meand it hurts really bad: when either parent tells the kid that they're better off dead.

What is counted as mental/emotional abuse is when the child or anybody for that matter is being yelled at for small mistakes or when they do something that is wrong and they get say cussed out for it. But it really does bring them down and make them shy in the long run. Hope this helps if you need more help let me know!

When they make you feel less of a person, or they make you feel bad a lot. Neglect, or putting you down a lot. Things like that.

Mental/emotional abuse would be anything said or done that would make you feel like less of a person. My example: You fail at something like a class, test, or a sports game. & your parents say that you will never succeed at anything in life. Anything said that is extremely negative that brings down your self esteem would be that form of abuse.

I think this is one of those questions that is more opinion-based. For instance, physical abuse from parents: Some parents will openly spank their kids, while others think it's abuse and refuse to. Emotional abuse is the same way.
Personally, I think that emotional or mental abuse consists of name-calling and letdowns. Let's say you fail a test. When you tell your parents this, they should motivate you to work harder for next time (By healthy punishment, or perhaps helping you study), but an emotionally abusive parent will probably call the child stupid and say some untrue things, like how much of a failiure he or she is.
Another example would be weight. Let's say that a child is obese. A good parent would care about their health, so they'd try to motivate their child to lose weight and promote a healthier lifestyle. A bad parent, however, will more than likely point out the child's obesity and criticize them for it, which only succeeds in lowering his or her self-esteem.
If you or a friend of yours is being emotionally abused, you need to get help. You can tell a guidance counselor, a teacher, or any other adult you trust. Parents are some of the most important people in someone's life, and we all deserve to have ones who will support and love us, not ones who put us down.
I hope I helped, and if you have any more questions, feel free to leave one in my inbox!

ok so mental abuse is your parents calling you names something like a bully stupid/fat/ugly/dumb any cruel thing that comes to mind kinda like you high school bully but its your parents now i think emotional abuse is simialar i think that it means you dont feel safe with them and your just emotionaly drained
BUT PLEASE: talk to your parents if that is really going on and if things get phisicall there is always that phone with the number 911 on it

your parents always calling you names or shooting you down all the time, like constintaly not once or twice and physical abuse is when they hit you or intentually hurt you, not out of disciple. but for no reason that they start to hit you or even threaten you, throwing you around or throwing things at you. things like that.
hope this helps and good luck, and don't be afraid of talking to people you trust for help.
