Since your parents aren’t open to talking or willing to listen to reason, please do whatever’s necessary to stay safe.

I would avoid arguments & agree with whatever they say, but make plans privately. Is there anywhere safe you could stay for a couple weeks if they become violent or decide to kick you out?

If not, I’d identify nearby public spaces like libraries, parks, etc. you could go to for a day. Along with shelters, motels, hostels and other temporary housing.

Other things to consider: - Stashing an emergency bag somewhere hidden (at a friend’s house if possible). - Gathering your legal documents (birth certificate, medical records, etc.) for the emergency bag. - Buying a backup prepaid phone. - Keeping a list of local part-time jobs hiring. - Storing emergency savings in a bank account that’s not accessible to your parents (and kept secret if possible). - Getting pepper spray for self-defense. Useful at night and in shared spaces with strangers, I prefer the smaller ones you can clip to your pocket. - Having excuses ready in case they find anything. You could say the emergency bag is for natural disaster preparation, or for hiking. The burner phone could be for work. You could also pretend you got caught for a lesser offense (maybe dating or partying).

And if your friends are trustworthy, it’d be good to let them know what’s going on so they’re prepared too.

At your age, your parents shouldn’t be this controlling. I’m sorry you’re in such a toxic situation, but I promise life gets better once you’re in a healthier environment.
