Strict Parents! And please Read this!?

Strict Parents! And please Read this!?
SUPER LONG, BUT PLEASE HELP ME!
I am currently 13.
I skipped a grade, so I am entering high school (I was 12 in February, early this year)
I am taking geometry and Biology honors. I also went through a LONG summer school session to get ahead.
I study really hard in school and usually make all A's (except for that occasional B). Knock on wood.
My parents yell at me all the time for nothing and they are so hypocritical.
I can't talk to anyone except for you guys Smile
I am not allowed to have a twitter or facebook (which I created without them knowing)
And I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to do this, either.
And I know all kids say this, but this time it's true.
They treat my brother so much better and with more respect, allow him to do whatever he pleases, and let's him mature and make his own decisions faster. He's 11.
He's allowed to post youtube videos and I never asked to, because they told me not to and I haven't even asked to yet.
I have cried almost every day because of how they treat me.
What's been bothering me recently?
I'm not allowed to wear makeup or change my hair color.
I haven't brought it up, because I don't want to make their perspective of me even worse.
They said 16 and I'm even scared to then, because they may call me names and think that I only care about looks.
I want to wear makeup so bad because:
1. They taught me as a child to avoid bad people(and gave me all the characteristics of those people) and I automatically think someone is bad when I see them, so I don't have many friends.
2. I know I have bad self esteem and I think I'm really ugly. (I cry and rub my eyes so much I have little lines under my eyes and they're dark 'cause I can't sleep)
Also, I don't talk to boys because my mom said no dating until after college.
She is a hypocrite, since she dated my dad in college...maybe high school.
And I think talking to them may cause the start of a relationship and they'll kill me if they knew.
And btw, my brother talks to girls all the time.
My brother has been into pokemon for 7 years, and they never told him to stop playing with it.
I am not allowed to use my own money to purchase a little something to make me happier.
AND
my mom keeps saying I have too many clothing pieces and doesn't answer when I say, "Can I go back to school shopping?"
I have 7 or 8 t-shirts and 3 pairs of jeans.
My brother has more clothes than me and they always say, "Oh, {brother's name} you need more clothes! {My name}, don't feel offended. He just doesn't have any clothes.
And I'm forced to say, "Okay."
(Oh, and did I mention they're really mad at me for not "even trying" to be trilingual?
Learning Chinese, English, and Spanish in a few years is not an easy task to accomplish)
(And everytime I make a decision that involved "no common sense" and my dad is home, he will call my mom and tell her what happened. Then he'll make her lecture me.)
I am completely fed up with this and I don't know what to do.
Please help me(and I'm not trying to sound desperate here...although I actually may be....)!
Thank you!
BTW, I'm asian. Obviously. No stereotypes here.

I am 13 and,wow,your life is pretty busy.But maybe they want you to be 'the one in the family that accomplished something big in life' (no offence if that sounded mean) But I think that they want the best for you,for your future and Asian girls are very pretty so u know! no make up needed Smile Maybe make them proud or something,maybe its some tradition in the country or something like that ( I dont mean to offend if I do) but I think they want the best for u Smile

Talk to a school counselor or someone you know who will be mature and unbiased. Once you've expressed everything that's going on, ask him/her to have a meeting with you and your parents. If you attend church, talk to a church leader. Nothing is wrong with getting help for yourself first to express your frustrations. It's healthy, actually. (just don't get all crazy and violent Smile ) If your parents want to know what you're doing or if they object, explain to them what you're doing and why. But don't say everything you've listed here, just say "I have some things I want to work out and I'd like to talk to someone outside of the family". You have every right to do so. Good luck!!

Wow... Just, wow... I honestly don't know what to say. But do you have a family member that you could move in with? Since, by law, you are old enough to choose who you live with. That's just wrong, how they treat you. I know what it's like to have parents who show favoritism, but I don't think it's ever been that bad. I'm really sorry about everything Sad
