Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
Go find anybody,It can be a therapist,or simply somebody off the internet,Just anybody...And be their friend and they will be yours.
I'm guessing you suffer from depression? That causes mixed emotions,get some adult you trust to take you to the doctor for medicine,Or you could always go see a therapist or most schools even have therapists that you can talk to about problems for free.
If you tell your parents and they continue acting like this,tell someone or contact police or something cause they sound abusive.

I go through what you go through. I'm insecure and I have a low self esteem because my parents bring me down a lot.
It hurts, I know it really does, but you have to stay positive. You need to ignore all the drama, all the name calling, and rise up above it. Be what you want to be and be strong. I used to be very depressed until I realized that it wouldn't fix anything! I started to go to counseling and having a little bit more confidence in myself every day. Tell yourself that today will be a good day and make it a good day! Think about it. Think about how worse your life could be and be grateful for what you have. That always helps me.
As for the parents and the stepfamily, talk to a counselor. It really really helps, because it helped me a lot. Now, I don't have a lot of stress on my shoulders as I usually do, and even though life is tough, it only makes us who we are. If you need anything, inbox me! xoxoxo

I've been threw all of this before.
I am 17 years old and I've been threw a lot of stuff like this.
I still do sometimes and it's just the same thing over and over again.
But I was taught something over the past three years. To focus on yourself and everything will fall into place. At first I didn't believe it would work at all, until I started to actually do things for myself.
Things started to fall into place and it worked very well. I am happier than i've ever been and I can say that with a smile on my face.
I hope all goes well, everything will be okay; I promise.

You have not given your age. Hopefully you are at least 13 years of age as that is the youngest age that you can be using this site.
To begin with none of us are doctors so there is no way for certain that we can say if you are depressed or not. What you have written does describe some of the conditions, but not all of them that doctors use when screening for depression.
So the first thing you need to do if you feel you are clinically depressed is to see your family doctor or possibly your school guidance department and be screened for depression. Once properly diagnosed there are medications and therapy that can help you.
The other things you can do is to talk with you mom or dad and tell them how you feel. Parents that argue a lot sometimes say things that they don't mean and don't realize they are even saying. I'm sure your parents love you and if made aware of how their arguing is effecting you they may find away to tone it down when around you.
Being a teenager is a rough time in life for any teenager as the hormones caused by the onset of puberty really does a number on them. If your a female it is even rougher. If you factor in a little depression, something everyone has at sometime, not necessarily clinical depression, and you start to see things not as they really are. This is normal.
My advice is that you see a doctor to be screened for teenage depression. You also need to talk to mom, dad or both and tell them what is going on with you and how what hey are doing is making you feel. If talking directly to mom and dad is something you feel you cannot do. Then try talking to a trusted teacher or other trusted adult who will talk to you parents for you. Your doctor is a good person to talk to about this.
