I normally don't talk to strangers, but I am ready for change. I am being abused in two ways.I need help, I am Teenager that is 15. I am shaken scared about everything I do. I am home schooled! I just completely dont know what to do.

My mom she physacilly abuses me, and when I say that, I saying that she hits me with anything she can find. everytime she hits me I feel like it is my fault that I caused it in some way. I have been hit by a b'b gun across the face, a Straightner, Shoes, belts, wood she burns me with things, anything she can grab in that time. I am scared every Mistake I make it's my fault every mistake my mom does it's my fault. like everything I do it's my fault because I don't do it good enough or if she likes it and doesnt want to amitt that she likes it, she hits me with objects. when I make a mistake she gets in front of me she makes me say I am sorry I want do it again she hits me and pushes me into the wall. evrey time I go out to do things with friends or goes to my tutors I NEVER WANT TO COME HOME. I am to scared to sleep. I go to sleep everynight about 5am and get up 7-7:20 every day. I never know when I get up how my day is or what is gonna happen.

Dad Sexual abuses me, this has only been going for 2 months, he touches me in ways that he shouldn't for this is so embarassing and gross at the same time.. After he is done I feel like it is my fault cause I let him do it to me , after he is do I feel like that I am powerless and not worthy to be on this earth. HE tells me not to tell and it is my Fault!!!

I can't talk to my Family because they have taken them away from me. I have 2 brothers and 2 sister they have taken them away from me. I am close to my mom brother's family she has taken them away from me also. I go to church every Sunday and Wenesday. I have told one person they believe me, she has told me that she would call defax if i wanted her to do that. but that is the point I AM SCARED! Cause it make it worse. ON EVERYTHING! My tutor doesn't know but she knows that we have a rough home life that is it. but we had a conversation about things she asked if were scared of my parents we said yes. which I dont under stand is that Defax has already gottn invold with My oldest sister but they didnt her away because she was already 18. I am wanting help because everything is getting worse!!!!!! but then DEFAX didnt take the 3 of us away???

I just completely dont know what to do. I am telling the truth, I don't think Defax isn't gonna help because I am a teenager. But I AM TELLING THE HONEST TRUTH...

Dear randa1,

I’m so sorry to learn what you’re going through. I know you’re afraid and you mentioned some of these options, but please try to seek help from a trusted adult or family member, someone at your church, a friend’s parent, or even a teacher at school (or tutor in your case).

Call the police in an emergency.

And please consider calling the local Department of Family and Children Services to learn more about your options; they exist to protect you. It shouldn’t make a difference to the investigators what age you are. Abuse is abuse no matter how old you are. You need out of this situation, you will have to let someone know.
