Parental verbal abuse

I've been verbally abused by my parents most likely since I was 10 and it still occurs now at age 18. I remembered when I was little when I would ask my Dad for help on homework, he would yell at me and call me 'idiot' and constantly scream at me if I got something wrong. I eventually just stopped asking my parents for help on any school work because they would constantly humiliate me and make me work up to 6 or 7 hours at a time until it was absolutely 'perfect'. I can also recall numerous occasions where if I would be working on homework and my mom would be singing loudly and I had politely asked her to stop maybe 6 or 7 times then I would yell for her to stop. My dad would then come up in my face and ask what was wrong with me. Also when I do school work I like to listen to music. But I seem to be only able to do that at school now because apparantly when I listen to music when I do my homework at home, my dad thinks I'm being lazy and I'm limping through life.
Staying on the subject of school; my oldest sister was a straigh A student. And for some reason, my parents thought this would be a fact in me. Well, due to their often biting criticizm, ridiculing remarks about my work, I stopped taking pride in my work that I used to have. I had finally convinced myself that if it isn't good enough for them it probably isn't good enough for the teacher. I had stopped caring for school like I had used to and it stuck to this point in high school. I remember a time where I called out my parents for being to harsh to critize my work and that it was hard for me to make quality work when "it's not good enough". They had lashed back at me saying "how dare you blame us?" This blame game was a common sight for me. Especially when my sisters moved out of the house, my parents blamed me for every little thing wrong. And after my sisters got older, they didn't help me at all with them. Plus, now that I'm on facebook, and my other sister cuts hair of a lot of my friends, my parents use them to stalk me now. My mom goes onto my oldest sister's facebook to make sure I'm being appropriate even though I do nothing wrong. I could post a status that according to them "makes me a bullying target" when they were the only ones harrassing me at all about it. Plus, if I tell my hair cutting sister something and keep her mouth shut about it, she'll go ahead and tell my parents about it anyway.
I barely have any trust for anybody, even my closes friends and football coaches. I've given up on work sometimes because I had convinced myself why bother it's not good enough anyway.

Hi, jmoney1! Your parents and sister are awful to you, I don't know where they get the nerve to treat you this way. They're toxic.
Would you be able to get away from them completely? You are your own person and you can do good things and work hard, what they think of you doesn't matter. They're just abusive people.
Do you have a job?
Maybe you could drop facebook for a while.

I'm sorry you have to put up with this, to blame you for everything is so wrong.
They sound horrible.
As jasmin says the best thing with people like this is to get away from them, then you can be your own person. They are destructive to you.
I don't like facebook, it enables people to bug, stalk, and say things they would not say to your face. But then I am a very private person.

I can relate to your post--I had a similar fate growing up. I myself was the "A" student and take it from me, people who want to abuse will do so with whatever "excuse" they have. I think the hardest part dealing with family is you have no other choice growing up and of course feel it is your own fault. I would suggest you get out on your own as soon as you can rather than remaining in this toxic environment. I think with time it gets a little easier to understand that it is not your fault.
