Okay, so i have been looking online on just child abuse. Because my friend is doing a speech on it for school, and well I've looked at some signs of emotional abuse, and its depression, low self esteem, stuff like that. Well all the things it lists, just about all of it i have. My mom does yell a lot, and it makes me feel like shit, is this abuse? She gets worked up a lot easily, and when we have big fights, only one big one we had i threw something, and then she came over so i was kind of gently kicking her in a way to keep her away and she grabbed my neck and my lip got cut, it all happened so fast idk what REALLY happened, i cried for days not knowing what had happened. Help.

Abuse?

We have told you before, it can take time to get a response. Which would you prefer, a quick useless reply, or a slower more helpful reply? So you just need to wait, and you shouldn't post the same question twice.

Of themselves, these wouldn't be classified as abuse. If they happened very often, or were very severe, they could be.

Well. I'm just confused like when i got a really bad bloody lip. swollen and eveerything, it all happened to fast and it was just so sudden i didn't have time to realize what happened, so i was convinced that she hit me. And she was saying "if you tell any of your friends i hit you, things will not be pretty."

You should talk to her about that. Don't let that continue to happen. Tell her that you will tell people about it if she refuses to listen. It may not be what she wants to hear, and she will likely tell you to back down, but that kind of behaviour is going overboard. Parents should never be drawing blood from their children like that. I don't know why you two were fighting, but that is definitely overboard. Does it get to that point or close to that point often?
Don't be too in your face with her, but that kind of crap shouldn't keep on happening. She seems to know that she did something wrong, but telling you to be quiet about it isn't right either. What's done is done, and hopefully she feels bad about it and will let you get to the point where you can talk about it. Words are and amazing thing and it may help a lot.

Well it happened a while ago, but it's always on my mind, Like when people talk about parents who abuse their kids. I looked it up online, and i was thinking "is that me?"Because I have been hitand she yells at me a lot.I may have freedom but doesn't mean i'm happy living herei've told her that, and my brother agrees that she's out of control with her yelling and lecturing. She calls me a slut, and tells me i'm fat.

She seems a very nasty and unpleasant woman. I think if she often calls you a slut or fat, that is emotional abuse.She obviously realised she had gone too far when she cut your lip, but instead of apologising she threatens you. What a bitch!
