Can you do something about a person (mom) who causes extreme emotional damage? ... like to the point where i dream of killing my family members?
smashing her head on something?
I feal frightened of myself, i will not hurt myself, but still ... i think im insane.

---

You can do a lot.  You can start by talking.  If you think using one of the mentioned helplines would be helpful, I would suggest   National "Youth" Crisis Line (800) 999-9999 or Youth Crisis Line (800) 843-5250.  If you think starting somewhere else would work better, I would suggest starting with your mother.  Sometimes people are are the closest to, or should be the closest to are blind to what is going on and what their role in the situation may be.  

How does your mother go about causing you these strong emotional feelings?  If it is something that could be easily prevented, the easiest thing to do would be to fix it as soon as possibly.  However, that isn't always something which can be done.  If you need to talk with her more, don't be discouraged if things don't change at first.  It's difficult to admit to something when it deals with someone close, but it's even harder to admit to yourself that you are hurting someone close to you.  It is a horrible pain.  

If, after some talking, nothing seems to be helped, then you may want to talk to someone about it.  If you haven't already called one of the helplines provided, that may be a good thing to do.  There are also local help lines which can be found in the yellow pages of your phone book.  Sometimes talking on the phone isn't enough--try talking to a school counsellor.  They are free and confidential (for most things, ask about your specific state laws to be safe) and they are easy to come by when you need someone quick to talk to.  Teachers are also great people to talk to if you have some which you can trust, friends are also wonderful but they can't go about getting you help for your situation in the same ways as the adults can.

If things are really bad, go to the police.  They are trained to help with situations of different degrees and could help you out.  

I hope things work well for you.  Good luck.
