My parents often get angry with me and sometimes hit me with slippers or shoes. They call me useless and say I’m not good enough because I don’t do well in exams. They also get upset if I don’t eat what they want. This happens for many silly reasons. What should I do?

Physical and emotional abuse are illegal under Indian law. You have the right to live in a safe and respectful environment. You can reach out to a trusted teacher, counselor, or a child helpline like Childline India (1098) for help. They can provide support and guidance on how to address this situation.
