I can't stand my parents.
I live in a fairly nice home, with plenty of clothes and food. My parents are one of the main problems in life, my mom abuses the power over me, and my dad has a huge temper that goes off quite a lot. My mom uses her power over me for very stupid things, she almost hit me when I wanted my food back when she took it from me. I was also looking for my glasses once and she told me to tell her where I last put them, I said I don't know, she asks that question a couple more times, then she goes off and says I either tell her or she'll beat it out of me. The worse part is that my dad agrees with everything she says, or just flat out ignores me, but when I screw something up when I'm alone with him, he'll go off. I used to hide in my closet when I was younger because he was so loud and I thought he would hurt me. They have never really hurt me, except for slapping when I screwed something up. I really can't stand them, but I don't know what to do. I have nobody to talk to, and they certainly won't listen to me, so I'm kinda stuck.

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
At your age or any no parent should be hitting or slapping you. That's wrong. They seem to have a lot of stress and anger that has nothing to do with you but unleash it on you. You have to know it's not your fault. I am pretty sure they do in fact love you even if at times it may not seem like it.
I wasn't there but is it at all possible that your mother was being sarcastic about "beating it out of you" about where the missing item may have been last or did it really seem like a threat?
I think as hard as it may be for you that you should talk to them both. Mention that your dad's temper frightens you and that you often hide in a closest for fear of being hurt. They need to know this. I would ask them to get family counseling to make things better at home.
If you can't do that you can legally go to a family doctor on your own and have it be confidential. They can't tell your parents anything you said and can get you a counselor, therapist, psychiatrist, psychologist or whomever you need to empower you and help handle what is going on at home. Your school guidance department can do same thing but it's better to deal with a doctor. You need this for yourself.
