i’m almost 18 and not allowed to do anything

[Guest]

not allowed a phone i have to use the computer for educational purposes only but i’m sick of it
never once been outside with my friends nor to a single birthday party
was not allowed to get a job or listen to music my parents try to force me to wear hijab inside the house and when my grades come back not too good they threaten to marry me off. my parents are both verbally abusive and my arsehole dad throws punches whenever he feels like. he kicked the ******** out of me when i forgot to forward him an email once, in front of our relatives. he’s belted me, beat me with a stick and so much other ********ed up ********. i’ve considered suicide so many damn times.

i’m sick of it i just want to live a normal life for gods sake.
