I can understand how it must be difficult to focus on your career or decisions you want to make when environment is unsupportive.
There is perhaps need for strong boundaries to be asserted and if situations permit, being in a space where you can process these experiences as well as gain clarity in terms of your choices.
It also useful to gather support from outside the family, resources both emotional and practical can help you navigate this better.

Hi dear concerned, Your safety and well-being are priorities. Try to create a quiet, safe space for studying, even outside the home, like a library or a friend's place. Set firm boundaries with your brother and seek support from trusted family members, teachers, or counselors to address the abuse and focus on your goals without interference.

I see how difficult it is for you to manage things with such an abusive brother, learn some martial arts so you can feel stronger and defend against him. Practise Assertiveness Communication with your brother and learn to say no. Ignore when he calls you bad names and focus positively on your career your ambitions your dreams and yourself.

Consult a mental health counselor

Hi, I can understand how difficult it must be for you to be living in a place where you are not treated properly. I would like to suggest you that you make your boundaries clear with your brother. Have an effective and open communication about how you feel and being treated with your family members. Be vocal about how your brother treats you to your family. By maintaining clear distance with negative situations and negative feelings you can atleast focus on your studies and well being.
