I am 16 and my parents control me alot. My dad often beats me and swears at me. He is not under any influence. Both my parents dont permit me to dress in any way to the latest fashions. Im only allowed to wear track pants and a t shirt. Also my dad vows to make sure i always stay home with him to serve him and never meet a guy or marry. He forbids me to chat with any guy whatsoever. I feel doomed

Get out of that house while you still have the will power to do it! Even though he is your father he has no right WHATSOEVER to beat you or swear at you! That is child abuse! Do you have a child welfare agency or something near you? Or a counselling centre where you could go and get help?
