If you're thinking of suicide (killing yourself), don't do it. There are lot of good things in front of you.

You're 18. One year -- as you said -- and you'll have the rest of your life to be on your own, make your own decisions. Make your own mistakes, even. But they'll be yours. No one else's.

It can feel helpless, not being in control of your life. I get it. I was there too. But it gets better (I'm 25 now).

Thanks for the reply... I'm not thinking about suicide, i'm a coward, but i can no longer keep going like this, even now I'm willing to go anywhere, i can't stay anymore at home i do not feel safe nor i have anymore trust in my parents.
You're not a coward. Far from it. Living takes courage. There are options for leaving your parents but they are often complicated and really depend on where you live. Just talking to people can make you feel a lot better even if there is no easy solution given.
Sorry for the late reply, well i guess you are right but it's hard... Thanks gor the reply it helps
