kittenlover2000 has given you the best advice which I cannot improve upon.
Physical abuse of a minor in someones care is a crime; even if it is your parent or a sibling. There are laws to protect you. If you fear calling the police from home when this happens you can go to school and go to the principal for help. Ask that the police be called. You can also go to a neighbor you may trust if it is a non school day. If there is a fire station in your neighborhood you can go there as fire stations are safe havens for children.
The fastest way to get help is to dial 911. Once you tell the 911 operator what has happened. Police and a fire department ambulance will be dispatched. If it is a parent who is abusing you they will not be able to turn the police away. The police will insist on seeing you and confirming for themselves that you are safe and unharmed. Show them any bruises or if the harm is sexual abuse tell them. They will have the fire department rake you to the hospital for treatment and evidence gathering.
If the abuse is sexual DO NOT, change your clothes, do not change the sheets on the bed where this takes place. Most important is not to shower as evidence the police need is on your body that the hospital will gather painlessly. Call 911 as soon as it is safe for you to do so.
Please write back and let us know you are safe.

You've not given much information about your situation...but its clear from asking what you should do, you know you can do something.
1)Call the police
2)Speak to another family member who isn't abusing you
3) Don't know how old you are, but ask a teacher
4) Next time, don't ask on here for help as responses may be slow-call the police straight away.

Call the police, Tell a school counselor
Or a trusted adult.
If you have bruises, Take pictures. Record the abuse at home by phone but report it.
