I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time. It seems that you really need some medical help and therapy to help you cope with what is going on in your life. I hope that you are able to get that. Is there some adult (besides family) that you trust and can open up to about what is going on. That way you can talk about the stress and what is going on without feeling as if you are saying the wrong thing to one of your parents.
As far as cutting yourself, this is not the answer and can be very dangerous. It only takes a small mistake to cause major problems. I hope that you instead try to reach out to people. I know you have, but somehow they are not hearing how much pain you are in, so you need to continue to look for someone that will understand and can try to get you the help you need.
The Anxiety Disorders Association of America has a list of support groups. I know you are young, but there may be someone that can help you out and offer you some support and encouragement.
Please post again and let me know how you are doing.
