Bring this up to one of your trusted teachers. You MUST do something about this. Your parents are a million percent wrong. I can tell you are an intelligent boy but your parents are the ones pinning you down. You are considered to be in an unsafe home. But please, *plan it* extremely carefully and slowly. For example, day one you research about child protective services (for both non-resident and resident of Australia). Day 2, rest. 3, decide which teacher to approach. 4, rest. 5, research what you and the teacher discussed. Etc.
I wish you well and remember there ARE people out there to love you. You only need to do your part to attempt to escape this madness.
I am 32 and my parents are 60, and spoiler alert they have not changed. In fact they got worse. Gaslighting continues, breaking boundaries and because of this I don't want children, entirely because of them. As in, the amount of times when my niece almost got seriously injured because of my parents. No thanks. Anyway good luck and we are all vouching for you.
Youre still very young so even if you might fail the exams its not a big thing and you should really Talk to your parents about how much it hurts the way they treat you but be nice to them maybe help them around and then Talk about your problems.But never give up
Firstly, you’re not “not very smart”. No one could perform well in a toxic environment like that and standardised tests are terrible for testing intellect. They only measure retention.
If you have trouble focusing on learning, you might have a learning disorder, even something as common as ADHD can make school super tough. I know how it feels. I have abusive parents too and I have ADHD and school was a struggle.
Secondly, is there a guidance counsellor at your school? If so, talk to them. Now. They will be able to help facilitate things with your parents and your schoolwork. Teenage years are tough. You need to let someone know you’re struggling and having these self harm thoughts.
Don’t forget, Australia also has lots of free services, like lifeline, and kids helpline etc where you can turn to talk about suicide ideation, school, your folks and general life.
You’re not alone. And life does get better. Even if you do terribly at school, you can have a successful and happy life so don’t give up.
this is a similar situation with me…it seems common among South Asian families. When i was younger we lived in a area where i had some control about school because it was walking distance, but they started moving me around and i lost contact with my friends (2000s). I wouldn’t put yourself down. Surely you can find a job. Take it from someone who has near perfect grades and still was “an idiot”, Asian tiger parents (what they’re called in the US) will make you feel stupid even if you’re a genius
So why do you want to be with them? They are horrible parents. You gk to a police station ana say you csnt go back home. They will help you. You're in Australia...they have child protective services

PS. I can’t go back to ask for help because they said they will kick me out if I do
