Ok , this might sound dumb but I want to get adopted because I get yelled at by my parents for everything and my mom always takes my stepdads side because she is scared of him . He used to hit me with a belt . It would hurt so bad that I couldn't sit and I have a little mark still but now he does it when I get in trouble. And he has emotionally abused me by calling me a whore multiple times . Plus I have been dating this boy named josh for 6months but I can't see him because of my parents . Please is there anything I can do to get out of their house hold ?

No, while the hitting with the belt is excessive, how about not getting into trouble, and he will not have to use punishment?
At best social services may come in and require them to take parenting classes or counseling. At worst they would put you into either a youth home or perhaps a temp foster care ( not normally nice either) till you can be returned to parents.
Adoption is not going to happen

Well I get in trouble for stupid things and I cry every night . I don't want to live with them . Can't I have a say in who I live with ? ND If they find out about this in just going to get in a lot of trouble

Find out ? For adoption, they willl have to sign and give approval, or go to court and have a court case, if it ever went there.
It starts by you notify family services or child protective services of abuse, and they investigate.
Your parents will know and be informed of any legal actions.
And no, until you are 18, you have no say what so ever as to where you liive.
