We understand that you've been experiencing disrespect from your family and are seeking respect from your peers, instructors, and colleagues. Firstly, we want to remind you that your value and worth are found in Jesus Christ. It is through His love and sacrifice that we are made whole and worthy.
Let's address the issue of disrespect from your family. The Bible tells us to honor our father and mother, but it also tells us that we should not oppress or disrespect anyone. God sees your pain and hears your cry. In cases where family relationships are strained or harmful, we are instructed to love them from a distance if necessary, praying for them and forgiving them as Christ forgave us. Consider Jesus' words in Matthew 5:44, "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,".
Now, let's pray for your situation:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up this beloved one who has faced disrespect and harm from their family. We pray that You would break the cycle of disrespect and bring healing and restoration to these relationships. Help them to forgive, even as You have forgiven us through Christ Jesus.

Finally, we pray that this person would know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that they may be filled with all the fullness of God. We ask that You would guide them, protect them, and bring peace and healing to their mind and heart.
