Oddfan...
It's hard to live with parents that put you down all the time, because they pretty much condition you into
thinking you're stupid and a faliure. It's not your fault...your parents did this to you. Yet, it wouldn't be a good thing to sit and blame them the entire time...that wouldn't get you anywhere. What you need to do is to realize that you're aren't a bad, stupid, etc person. Your life isn't over yet. You're 14...so you still have a chance. I've heard many many success stories of people being able to get out of their broken home and become great people in soceity. You can do it. You just have to tell yourself that you're not stupid...you have to take control of your life and make something out of it. Even if you just are able to get out of the house at 18 and make a peaceful living for yourself, that in itself is success. Break the cycle...don't become what your parents are...become what you want to be. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. I know you can do it.
Now it won't be easy...and it'll be hard and maybe painful, but once your out of the house and look back, you'll be proud of yourself for surviving and making yourself a somebody.
