Hello! You grew up in a pretty repressive family environment, and your father's beatings and scoldings caused you a lot of internal pain.
You told your teacher, but they didn't help. As a result, more people found out about your situation, which made it worse. You're now at a loss as to what to expect from life, and you're stuck in a cycle of pain. I empathize with you, and I want to give you a hug!
I want to help you understand your pain.
The way your father treated you has really affected you. You say he used to beat you all the time, and you feel like you really hated him.
I imagine it was pretty traumatic for you growing up with a father who beat and scolded you.
You grew up with this anger in your heart, so you looked at your father askance, felt uncomfortable when you heard his words, and even hated men, because in a child's world, the father represents masculinity, and your hatred of your father generalized to all men.
You told your teacher about your parents beating you, which was a kind of self-help and asking for help. For a child, having this kind of awareness is very valuable. Unfortunately, the teacher didn't help you in the right way, but instead told others about it, causing you to suffer a second time.
You once told your teacher about your parents beating you, which was a way of helping yourself and asking for help. For a child, having this kind of awareness is very valuable.
Unfortunately, the teacher didn't handle it the right way. They told others about it, which caused you to suffer a second time.
You're currently in your third year of high school, which is a very critical stage in life. However, you lack motivation because you don't have high expectations for the future. The pressure from schoolwork and the pressure from your family situation are too heavy, and you seem to be on the verge of collapse.
Take some time to think about how you really feel.
The impact of the original family on a person can be significant. You mentioned that your parents physically disciplined you. During your upbringing, it's likely that your parents didn't express much love and warmth, right?

Maybe they think the best way to educate is through a lot of correction, but what a child really needs is attention and love.
Kids don't understand why they're always being beaten, but they instinctively get angry when they're beaten. This anger makes them hate and distance themselves from their parents.
On the other hand, this kind of treatment might also have been directed at you when you were a child. You might feel that you don't deserve love, which is why you were scolded and beaten by your parents.
It seems like you don't have a strong sense of self-worth. You say that your father's words have made you think about suicide and that you have no expectations for the future or motivation to work hard. These thoughts seem to indicate that you don't feel your own worth internally.
Your parents' approach to discipline is not the best way to educate you, but you're afraid that others will find out and you'll be hated by your teacher. This shows that you view your parents' disciplinary methods as a source of shame because you identify with how your parents treat you and feel it's related to your perceived "badness" and "worthlessness."
Let's find a way out of this dilemma.
I can only imagine how tough it must be to be in a repressive environment for so long without any help. I really hope I can help you get out of your current situation and find some comfort and relief.
I've got a few tips for you.
First, get some professional help. You've been in pain for too long, and you're in a tough spot right now, like your senior year of high school. This is too much for a child to handle on their own, so you should get some professional help to get yourself out of it as soon as possible.

You can talk to the school psychologist or seek professional counseling. It's not your fault that your parents treat you abusively, and you shouldn't feel ashamed.
And professional psychologists all agree to keep things confidential, so asking for help is the way to go. It's also likely to be the most effective.
Second, try to accept and affirm yourself. Nobody gets to choose their parents or their family of origin. It's like the cards we're dealt by God. We can't change them even if we don't like them. You just have to know that it's not your fault.
Focus on yourself and recognize your own strengths. The fact that you can identify your inner anger shows that you have a good sense of self.
Asking questions here shows you're ready to get out of your current situation. These are your assets.
Focus on the present moment and don't put too much pressure on yourself to get everything done perfectly. Just take it one task at a time. Once you've finished each task, give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back. This is a great way to build self-confidence.
Third, don't get stuck in the present. Some people say that suffering is a blessing from God in disguise.
Many children from less fortunate backgrounds choose to help others or give their own children a happy childhood after growing up because of the challenges they've faced.
So you see, anger is actually a resource. You're now in your senior year of high school, and you're actually on the verge of leaving your parents and supporting yourself.
What kind of life you'll lead in the future is up to you. You can think about it, plan for it, and figure out what you're good at and what you're interested in. When you're in control of your own life, you can really move on from your family of origin.

I'm really sorry that you're going through this. It sounds like a very painful and difficult situation. I can't imagine how hard it must be to feel safe at school but not at home. It's important to find someone you trust, maybe outside your immediate circle, who can offer support without betraying your trust.
It breaks my heart to hear about the struggles you're facing. Life shouldn't feel this unbearable, especially at home where you should feel safe. If talking to people feels too risky, perhaps writing down your feelings or expressing yourself through art could help manage those intense emotions.
What you're experiencing is incredibly tough, and I admire your strength for sharing this. Feeling trapped in such a negative environment can take a huge toll on anyone. Have you considered reaching out to a helpline or an anonymous online counselor? Sometimes just venting to someone who won't judge you can make a difference.
Your story hits close to home because everyone deserves a place where they feel loved and accepted. It's heartbreaking that you feel this way about your family. Remember, it's okay to seek professional help anonymously if that feels safer. There are resources available that can provide assistance without exposing your identity.
I'm truly sorry for what you're going through. It's understandable to feel lost and confused, especially when you're questioning the value of effort. Your feelings are valid, and it's important to find a safe outlet for them. Maybe exploring different forms of therapy, like group sessions or online forums, could provide some relief and connection with others who understand.
