How old are you?

If you are a child, call child and family services. They will find you a different place to live.

i’m 15.
i’m too scared to call there again

Tell your counselor at school.

Talk to someone, a teacher or counselor. Running away is too dangerous but you do need to get out of that situation. Don’t put yourself in danger by trying to get away.

in all honesty i feel being in danger would be better than being here.
my counselor is like one of my moms good friends. i’m scared she’ll tell my mom then i’ll get sh*t for it

What happened when you called last time?

my sister heard me on the phone and made me hang up then started to hit me and told me if i ever tried to call there again she’d kill me (literal or not it still scares me)

Your counselor would be making a very unethical decision if she told your mom what you tell her. You can go to the police if you have to.

Call from a pay phone or a school phone.

r your parents home during the day?

or brothers or sisters?

no, no ones home until 2.
but what happens if i do call children and family services again?

Skip out of school and go home and call they will come and pick you up right away. Just tell them what you told us.

They will find somewhere else for you to live. Where people won’t hit you. You don’t deserve to be hit. You need to find somewhere safe. They will help you.

i can’t skip school because my school is a hour drive away so teres no way i could walk home and if i decided to stay home then someone would also be home because i’m not allowed to be home alone by myself.

will they take away my youngest sister too since shes only 10 years old?

Yes, if you tell them what’s going on. I’m sure you can find a way to use a phone. Borrow someone’s cell at school.

would it be right to deprive my sister of her real family though? I don’t want er to be messed up either whhen she get older, ya know?

Hello! Growing up in that home you and she are already messed up!!!

Time to make a change for the better and take you and your sis out of harm’s way.

You can protect your little sis from some of the problems you’ve had to face by contacting the authorities. No one, you or your siblings, should have to suffer through such a rotten home life.

yeah… you guys are right. for me, i feel it’s too late to change whats happened and maybe i can get out. but i’m more concerned with my little sister. she’s too younge to deal with this (i realize i am too but i mean i’d feel like i was going through it twice).

so should i just call? or sould i talk to someone first, like my little sister?

Just call.

okay, i’ll try tomorrow. thank you for your help, it’s much appreciated.

Good luck. You can do it. Give your sis the help no one gave you.

I will pray for you.

hey, did u make the call? what happened?
