It sounds like your home is not a safe place for you. You don’t deserve to be treated like that. We are sorry to hear that you have to go through all this.

If you would like you could also call the Saudi Arabia child helpline at 116 111 or checkout their website at http://www.nfsp.org.sa/. While we are not legal experts but in most cases your parents are responsible to take care of you till you turn 18. You could always trying call the local police department if that was an option for you. You are not alone we are here to support you through this situation and your goal to get a good education and become a doctor. If you are ever depressed and need someone to talk to you could reach the National suicide prevention hotline chat at http://chat.suicidepreventionlifelin...elineChat.aspx or talk to your therapist or your doctor.

Thank you for reaching out to us at the National Runaway Safeline. It sounds like you are in a difficult situation, and we understand it takes courage to reach out for help. The National Runaway Safeline is located in the United States of America (USA). Our knowledge of helpful community based resources and our understanding of youth in crisis related laws is limited to the USA. If you are located in a country outside of the USA, you can use this link to find a youth helpline in or around your country: https://www.childhelplineinternation...pline-network/.
We hope that by reaching out to a local resource, you are able to get the support you need from an organization that understands the laws and circumstances that affect youth in your country.
