okay, so my dad used to hit me but that's not a problem for now because he's on a vacation. the rest of my family (mom, 3 bros) won’t let me go on msn, on the phone, go to my friend’s house, go outside or anything. I’m not aloud to have like any social life whatsoever! I’m planning on telling my guidance counselor, is this a good idea? Also, what will happen next? Please, I’m very scared. I want to run away. I don't know what to do!

Talk to a counselor because it may well be that the reason the rest of your family is hard on you is because of threats from your father!!
The counselor can arrange counselling for the family perhaps because if your father hit you he probably hit them as well and needs to be locked up somewhere not only for your sake but for theirs as well!! I hope things work out for you!!

Parents should exert some control over their childrens' lives. That's their job. But if all your allegations are true, this has crossed the line into abuse.
The school counselor may be a good first step, but only because they could probably refer you to social services of whatever municipality you live in. If he or she won't take you seriously, then you need to seek help on your own. Government services are listed in the phone book (if there's none at home, they are also carried in the library). You should mention the physical abuse from your father as well. He may come back and the fact that it was allowed to happen in the first place is certainly a problem.
DON'T RUN AWAY! On the streets you will only find predators seeking to exploit you. It will be worse, not better.

Yes you need to go to your guidance counselor as soon as possible. Your parents shouldn't be doing this it's wrong. Since you said you were in the 11th grade I believe, you can get a divorce from your parents. The government will help you get an apartment and help pay bills until you find a job and are able to balance school life with a job. I don't like hearing a bout children getting abused and I hope you see your guidance counselor so they can give you some help. i hope this helps and Good Luck. If you need someone to talk to you can talk to me.
