Physically abused by my parents

Ok, I’m 16 and I get physically abused by my parents. Not a lot but enough that I am always depressed. Can I moveout?

Answer #1

You can’t just move out…there are steps you need to take.

If you’re being abused, you need to call child welfare. Most likely they will place you in foster care.

Now lisen if you are abel to go to a trusten faimly member and stay there just enof time for child welfar to prove that you are being abused thats the problem with the amircan child care program they have to have physicaly and sycological abuse you just need to get out and stay some were safe and let the child welfar no were your at and what has hapend it will take time but if you get out the child care homes suck but its better then abuse im really sorry to hear that I no what your goen thrw its a damn shame there are pep like that you need any more info you can fun mail me

You are going about this the wrong way girl. Please be smart and go tell a teacher or another trusted adult. Yours truly, Demika Ray

Answer #6

I think you have to drop out of school get a job and get some money to live on your own. but I think you shuld stay in school and go to a counselor at schol to talk about your parents vent your feelings.

Answer #7

sweetlittleangel, laws in the UK are different than laws in the US.

If the asker is from the US, she CANNOT move out at 16.

Answer #8

im in the uk, I want to move out on my 16th birthday because I’ve got the same problem, so yes you can move out

Answer #9

yes, I moved out when I was 16. look for a housing association or ask an organisation such as social servaces for help. if you dont work or your at college the job center will help with bills. good look.

Answer #10

You need to do what ever it takes. I am so sorry to hear about this.

Answer #11

honestly, i’ve been through such things in my life as well. it’s far too typical in this day in age. you can always go to a really REALLY good friend who you can really trust with this news. my father beat my mom (& me from time to time) before we left him – – on January 1st 2000. then within the year they had to stay seporated (North Carolina law says they must be before the Divorce is final) she was going to go back to him yet again. she always had left him before when i was young (too young to know the difference)

So i gave her a choice (at my then age of 11): you can stay with me & my then 3 year old brother or you can go back ti him… alone.

i wasn’t about to let my little brother go through the same life i had.

but back to your problem…

you can start taking pictures of your cuts or whatever it is they leave on you. proff is key when planing to excape. my mom did all that. & she also saved a good amount of money to keep her going. you have to have a good thought out plan before you just decide to jump out of your home.
