I posted a discussion about being abused a couple of days ago. I called the family and children services place and told them about my problem. I knew it'd be worthless. They figure my mom is just disciplining me. They actually said she has a right to hit me, and that I should be afraid of her. Yeah, whatever, that's understandable to a point. But you know, I'm just tired of people telling me that I don't have a problem, and that my situation is a lot better off then some. That may be true, but I do have a problem and I do need help. I don't have a good life here, and I'm unhappy. It's just so disappointing not being able to get any help.

I am so sorry that this is happening to you, and it is stupif that you cant get the right help. The next time she beats you IMMEDIATLY call 911, tell them what happened and give them your address. they will see the harm your mother is doing and take the appropriate actions.

If your Mother is hitting you and leaving marks, the authorities can step in to help. If you are a wild child and she is merely disappling you, that is a different story. Sometimes there is a fine line between punishment and abuse. Only you know the true live that you live. If it is horrendous day after day, go seek your guidance councelors advise at school.

I'm sorry I forgot to mention...if you have any relatives or friends that you can go with then leave! I already have a friend whose family says if I ever need somewhere to go then I can stay with them, but I have not experienced the abuse you do, and I'm sorry anyone has to experience it :( But I'm going to repeat what I said in my last post...call the police immediatly after your mom beats you. You may feel alone but you aren't. There is someone that will help you, somewhere, even if you dont know them yet. I know a lot of people hate the police, but they will help you.

Life sucks we all know this. If your parents hit you hit them back so they can hit you harder so you can get marks on your skin so they can go to jail. Some parents try to help you. Some just like abusing you. If you know for a fact that they enjoy it or they just want to do it not for the sake of helping you then just try your best to get them in jail. But i will tell you this foster care sucks and you might regret it. You never know what you have until you loose it. O by the way you are pretty.

Why don't you record it and use it as evidence against her if you're sure she's not disciplining you.

if your mom is abusing you then the authorities need to step in and do something about it.i would keep on calling the authorities because they need to investigate if your mom is abusing you and just not disciplining you.

Yes foster homes are horrible. So you might want to take it from me and not go that route. How old are you? If your close to the age of being able to get out on your own, then do what you gotta do.

You should not have to wait it out. If you are in high school, then these are the best years of your life and there should be someone that will take an interest in you to help you out of your situation. I know what it feels like because my mom was constantly beating me when I was a child. Talk to the school counselors, a trusted teacher, a church friend, your girlfriend's parents, etc. until you find someone that will help you. I know my life would have been so much better if I had gotten out of my situation. Good luck sweetheart, and I know there is bound to be someone out there who will help you find a better life.

I am sorry you are dealing with this, this is a very hard thing to deal with when you have a big issue at hand and it seems like nobody is willing to help you.

if you are being abused and you have marks to prove go to the police station instead of calling social services...they will take pictures of the abuse and you can press charges...
