So it all started in 2020 when I moved to other house because he insulted and beat me up, now he comes to that new house which isn't far away and keeps doing the same thing, he beat me up today because I didn't want to give him my phone. When I tell it to my mother she says we're both bad and she will sell the house, please someone help me I don't know what to do

Please go to the police today. You need help. Your mother is unable or unwilling to protect you. Maybe an older relative can take you in? Wishing you the best.

Probably be better off talking to a teacher once school starts. They are mandatory reporters if abuse is happening. Also there are tools at the school like counselors and potentially support groups that police probably won't have.

Good idea, but this kid needs help NOW.
