aww I'm sorry that you are going through this....
Just try talking...I mean, I know that mothers are especially difficult to communicate with, but it's worth a shot. Just calmly sit her down and tell her how you feel...If she doesn't want to listen, well then you can't make her, because she's your mother, and she feels that she can speak to you anyway she wants, because she's an adult. Luckily, I don't take my mother's abuse anymore, I just tell her how it is, that she makes me feel bad about myself, and that if she continues it, then I simply won't speak to her anymore...
As far as your brothers go, try talking to them, if they won't listen, then just ignore them...Don't degrade yourself to their ignorant, immature level. Because if they were as "grown up" as they probably say that they are, then they would know that whay they say is wrong. You are most definatly not a slut, ho, or a b*tch, and I 'm sorry that they make you feel bad, but just ignore it, because it's coming from cruel immature boys, that don't know any better because your mother allows it.

I hope I helped

Good luck love!

Your brother sounds like an idiot. I suggest you start a fight club, learn some skills, and kick his ass.

Next time your mother calls you b*tch, tell her how lovely she is today! LOL Why not?

Well, tell them frankly how you feel about their abuses in a nice or calm way. Tell them that it "really hurts" you and you don't want your relationship to be ruined by your hidden resentments which might lead you to withdraw from them. That's why you are honestly expressing your sentiments.

But don't expect instant results. Be patient for slow improvements. Since it's already their habit, you can never expect them to change immediately. Kindly, remind them again and again. You can even expect them to do it every now and then so you won't be so disappointed. Dear, sometimes a person can really get angry and there's no way you can control what comes out of his/her mouth in his/her trying to have an outlet. But you see it takes time.... really....

Be contented with gradual improvements.

I would also try talking to them seriously. If they do not give you respect after that, simply be polite and quiet, and ignore their name calling. Seriously, just don't stoop to that lame level and bring yourself down as well. If you ignore it, it will go away. That means ignore it forever, not just a few days.

your mom isn't calling you names, is she? some parent just don't understand how bad that can hurt a chil (teenager, whatever...)

how old is your brother? if he is close to your age or younge than you it's just sort of normal. kids argue all the time. why don't you try telling him that he's rude and it's hurting your feelings. just make sure you are calm and you're not arguing back.

I feel for you. If you try especially hard to be nice to her and she still acts this way then you'll have to learn to peacefully move about without being stressed out by her. I can suggest that you read "Sarah and the Foreverness of Friends of a Feather" by "Esther & Jerry Hicks. It's a very good book and it includes how to control your own peace.

I Hope this helps ~ Hope
