You need to tell a school teacher or counselor. If that doesn't work, then the police, or DCFS. (your states Department of Children and Family Service).
I am sorry to near it is so bad there. Is there anyone in the family that may be able to help you?
I am glad to see that you realize that you dumb, or ugly. You are special in the eyes of Jesus. I recommend calling on His Name.
I will pray for you and your family.

You need to get a better job. When I was your age I was making $2000/month waiting tables. You have to work full time also. You are 18, so that is good. You are able to leave whenever you want because you are legally an adult. You should quietly find an apartment somewhere and sign a lease for it. Then, leave the house at night or when your parents are not home and live there. Call children's services on your parents because what they are doing is WRONG! You have to realize it is not your fault and it is their fault. See if you can maybe get custody of your sisters or take them with you when you leave. It is an incredibly dangerous and harmful situation that you all need to get out of. Until then, when your parents hit you and leave marks, take pictures of all of it so it is documented and you can prove what is going on later. This will probably be a big legal battle in the long run, and if you care for your sisters, you will get them out of that environment. You just have to get yourself out first. Good Luck, I am very sorry that you have had to live like this, but tommorrow's another day and it can only get better from here on out. You just have to take action and stick with it. Namaste.

Do you have a phone, then call 911. When you go to school, tell you teachers, counselors, and principal. Tell any and everyone you can. And if you can, run out the house and leave. Or leave when they are not home.
Or if you have the internet look under http://www.findcounseling.com/journal/child-abuse/child-abuse-hotlines-phone-numbers.html. Or you can call 1(800)252-2873, 1(800)799-7233, or1(800)787-3224. 1(800) numbers are free on any payphone.
There's various different numbers that can help you and your sister in your situation.
I'll be praying for you both, and I wish you well.
P.S.: You are not dumb nor anything else negative that your parents may say about you or even towards you and your sister. You are two beautiful blessings from God that appearantly your parents don't appreciate. (Fear not. You're not the only one in an abusive situation. My parents don't love me, my ex-boyfriend abuses me, and everyone else kicks me in the head right along with them... And I'm 27.)
Make sure you don't end up like me (running from my parents strangling arms to the murderous heart of an abusive boyfriend. Look up http://www.helpguide.org/mental/domestic_violence_abuse_types_signs_causes_effects.htm
I'll be praying for you.
You can email me if you need a friend. anaya760_y@yahoo.com
God loves you.

Here's what you do.
get your siblings and yourself packed. A backpack each. most im portant things, like clothes, undies, toothbrush, any piggybank money, etc.
You are 18 so you can leave the house, take your siblings with you when your parents are asleep or out of the house, get in your car, and drive to one of your friends house, tell the little ones it's a sleepover, and tell your friends parents what is going on. They will help you convince another family member what has been going on. I am sure that your grandparents will not blame you. This is not your fault, and they will see you acted the best way you could, responsibly to protect your sisters. Your feelings of guilt and helplessness are a result of the abuse and not because you have done anything bad. Contact authorities once you are in a house or place you feel safe. this seems the best way in what you have told me.
I was told once," you don't have to go back."
that sentence changed my life. I urge you to listen to it.

Oh my god, that's horrible of them.
You not only need to leave, but get someone to look into this ( a lawyer or gov. official)
If you have another trusted family member in town/state, call them and at least get them involved. Have them or a trusted older friend come over or stay with them until you sort this out.
If you are 18, you can be counted as a guardian for your sisters/siblings for the time being.

Leaving would create a whole new set of problems, like housing and money. Is there no one else you can talk to before you decide to do that? Like, for example, someone at your sister's school?
In England, we have something called Connexions which helps young people with everything, including issues like yours. I don't know if they offer help in America but here's the website:
www.connexions-direct.com
About half-way down the home page is a part that says 'Want Advice?' You can talk to them in lots of different ways that are explained on the site.
There might be a US equivalent to Connexions, but I don't know what it is, sorry!
Good luck x

Call the authorities or see if there are any shelters around. This is very serious and you have to tell someone. Do you have any friends who will take you and your sister in? If you must, tell your friend that you will pay for stuff. You could maybe even tell someone at school, like the guidance counselor or a trusted teacher. Good luck

Go straight to the nearest police station, you poor kids. Just leave, dont even tell your parents that you are leaving. You are both worth much more than that!!!!! Go to the Police and also tell them that you have a younger sister that you are worried about. Your parents should be held accountable for what they have done!! If you dont want to go to the police go to your doctors and tell them everything. What ever you do DONT stay in that house a moment longer!!!!!

Wow that is real terrible for a parent to treat their children like that.
Why are they treating you and your sister like that, are they been treating you this way ever since you are small?
Is there any law in your country to protect abused children...in my country, we have. The child or any one can make a report to the police department and legal action can be taken upon the parent that mistreat their children.
Why not your and your sister go to the police station and make report about it or to any children protection organization.
They might help you to solve your problem between you and your parent. This is better than you run away just like that.

Contact the police, as was said in the first answer, and also get in touch with a youth care agency, like FAYS or even saint vinnies or any one who can offer counselling and get you both on your feet!! Well done for making a start.
