Is it abuse?
Me and my father aren't close he says mean things about me and makes me cry basically feel like crap i feel like i'm always the main target he intimidates me and i hate when he's home i try to avoid him i hardly ever talk to him because i feel like he's going to say another mean thing
and there's no point
Here's some things he's said about me
He called me a hermit,Called me useless,Told
me to go away,Told me to get a life made comments about my hygiene
My questions are:
Is what he's saying to me considered child abuse? Also what would be the best thing for me to do?

It is not child abuse but possible emotional abuse. You could ask your mother about seeing a counsler and letting her know about the problem. It sounds you are feeling a little depressed because of the things he says to you. My father used to call me a whore and slut. Tell me my ass looks nice. I picture him as a petifile and I dont let my children around him by himself but that is me. I was in counsling because of him but I never did talk.

The problem isn't the abuse. The problem is that the person dishing it out doesn't see it as such nor knows the effect it has. Talking to him will get you nowhere. If you tell your teachers, councilor, doctor or relatives/trusted adults it will.
Often being confronted by other adults a person knows about how he treats his kids will embarrass him enough to change his ways. Also the abuser is never talking about the victim when they spew forth venom.
They're always talking about how they view themselves but making others feel the brunt of what's on their own shoulders. As far as hygiene goes it could need work but even if it does their is a more tactful way to have it pointed out. Bathe and keep clean as there's no way you can be attacked for that.
