My family saw that I'm fat and ugly and that I need to move and that I can't dress like a kid with some weird things and that the Gothic style is weird. I'm not Gothic but emo and it's make me feel bad that my family thinks I'm a kid. I don't even want to wake up in the morning, take a shower or eat. It's too exhausting for me....

I’m really sorry your family said those things to you. No one deserves to be called names or made to feel ashamed of how they look or how they dress. Your style doesn’t make you a kid or “weird," it’s just a way you express yourself, and that’s totally okay.
What they said would hurt anyone, and it makes sense that you’re feeling exhausted and unmotivated right now. Being criticized by the people who are supposed to support you can drain you emotionally. But their words don’t define you. You’re not “fat” or “ugly,” and your worth isn’t decided by their opinions.
I’m really glad you told me instead of keeping it inside. You don’t have to deal with these feelings alone. If you can, talking to someone you trust, even a school counselor or another adult, could really help you get some of this weight off your shoulders.
You matter, your feelings matter, and your style and identity are valid. I care about you, and I’m here for you.
