Sorry, this probably isnt the right place to post this but I urgently need advice about how my parents treat the dog. So recently we got a puppy, and like all puppies he bites a lot. I just found out that my parents have decided that smacking him on the back with a thin stick as punishment would be a good idea. According to them they only hit him gently, but it makes him growl at the stick and Im worried it will make him more aggressive. I tried talking to my parents about it but they argue that if its “okay” to spank a child, it should be ok to use corporal punishment on a dog. But IS it ok to treat the dog like this?? And if not, what should i do? Again, I apologise that this isn`t depression-related

I live with my abusive parents, so that`s rad.
The title pretty much explains it. I cant tell anyone Im suicidal and how bad my depression is. My parents are abusive, and they already yell at me for being lazy. To top it off, my mum believes that depression is caused by too much screen time, which is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in a long time. Technology is the only thing keeping me alive. Its almost laughable how my parents say I can tell them anything but then they re like this. I do have friends but if I told them they would probably tell my parents. I ve tried talking to those online helplines, but its not the same as talking to a person right infront of you. I dont know what to do anymore, sorry for the rant
