Yes you can definitely file writ in HC against them. As it is your fundamental right to study and live peacefully without any mental torture or harassment. See, they everything has its own limit but if they have crossed that then they are violating your fundamental right.

If you are facing mental harassment and torture by your parents, you have the right to seek legal remedies to protect yourself. Here are the steps you can take in such a situation:
- Consult with an Attorney: Seek legal advice from a family law attorney who specializes in such cases. They can guide you on the appropriate legal actions to take.
- Collect Evidence: Document instances of mental harassment and torture. Save text messages, emails, or any other communication that can serve as evidence. Note down dates, times, and details of the incidents.
- Talk to a Counselor or Therapist: Consider speaking to a mental health professional who can provide support and document your emotional distress as a result of the harassment.
- Explore Mediation: In some cases, mediation with the help of a counselor or therapist may be beneficial to resolve family disputes amicably.
- File a Complaint with the Police: If the harassment continues and escalates to a level where it constitutes a criminal offense, you may file a complaint with the police. Provide them with the evidence you have collected.
- Restraining Order: In severe cases, you can seek a restraining order or protection order against your parents to prevent them from contacting or approaching you.
- Legal Action: If the harassment persists and is causing severe emotional distress, consult with your attorney about the possibility of filing a legal case against your parents for mental harassment.
- Seek Support from Authorities: Approach child protection authorities or organizations that can provide assistance and guidance in cases of family abuse.
