You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
you need to reach out for help to someone who can actually do something kiddo. we can all offer advice but if you’re being hit at home or abused emotionally physically what have you then you need to tell someone at school, the shrink or even a teacher. they are required by law to alert the proper authorities if they think a student is in danger. if you’re really desperate than you will snitch on them to the cops. CPS may not be a great choice in anyone’s eyes but it’s better than being beaten. you have to find some way of dealing with the stress other than cutting, starving, or harming yourself. trust me it sucks, i was suicidal and i still have suicidal thoughts but they are less and less frequent, let people in it doesn’t have to be your parents but tell a friend tell a teacher tell someone in person face to face so they can see the pain in your eyes. feeling that connection to another person will help you feel more alive.
I can understand where your coming from…
but the weird thing is that while you say your parents are too controlling, I wish my parents had bought me up more strict but for example my dad drinks (hes not a alcoholic or anything) but this goes against the tenents of their faith and it also goes against the faith that I believe in now… and all the males in my family do and it puts me in a weird situation coz I dont want to drink and I know they all will keep on trying to encourage me to drink (which I seriously dont want to do)… like my parents are religious but they not either so it always got confusing too.
In other ways my parents were strict like i wasnt allowed to have a phone in school while my mates did (weirdly enough when i got older i didnt even want one coz i never had any mates left to phone),
The truth is that your family are trying to protect you so you dont get hurt but sometimes they dont realise that they have to let you make your own mistakes… e.g. I always tell my sister not to music after 12 at night or in the morning and warned her I will take her music away from her… I say this so that she hopefully will concentrate on God and find peace coz i love her and I want her to be happy, and I think she knows that.
Have you tried talking to a counsellor? Or just talk on here it might help…
my parents wont let me go off to college.. i have to stay at home till i get married. and ive tried telling people (ive told several of my councillors, my principal, my friends, my friends’ parents, my school guidance counciller)but they dont help.. a few of these people tried talking to my parents and trying to get them to change but a few days later things got back to the way they were.. as usual.
i grew up getting hit, emotionally abused so im used to it i guess.
im not gonna call the police on my parents because i dont want them to get ruined for life even though they’ve pretty much destroyed mine.
they dont listen to me either.. i onced told them i was sexually assulted and they told me im lying and i told my mom i feel dead inside and she said “no you dont, you’re just angry. dont say that kind of stuff.”

MY PARENTS AND FAMILY ARE WAY TOO CONTROLLING. I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE !!!
im 15 years old, a grade 10.i have two brothers that are 20 and 16
(they are both practising muslims and are very nosy, overprotective).
My parents on the other hand are pretty layed back. my mom is a convert
to islam and my dad has been muslim all his life but he used to have a
very wild history when he was a teenager. my mom on the other hand had
very strict catholic parents and she would basically follow ALL of their
rules without rebellion. I finally had a break down infront of my mom
telling her i cant take any of her rules anymore and because she would control
every single aspect of my life. no exadurations and she said she’d change but
only three days later she was back to her nosy, strict self.ive recently have been
havingtrouble at home, my parents cont trust me, my grades are slipping because i cant
concentrate, and ive been feeling like i have NO control (i tried controlling
my life in some way by means of anorexia and trying to run away from home.)
However, i have no job, no friends that will take me in and my parents said that if
i try to run away or move in with a friend they will call the police and sue my
friend’s parents. my parents wont let me date, go over a guy’s house or bring a guy over
(even if he’s a friend), sleep over anyone’s house, dye or highlight my hair,
stay out past 10:30pm on weekends and 9:00pm on weekdays, go to dances, hang out
with guys, go to screamo concerts, go to partys, drink, smoke, get anymore
piercings (i have 13), get any tattoos, get an allowance, wear shorts or a tank top or
jeans with small rips in them, wear extensions, put on a fake tattoo, draw on
my hand, or take the bus. ive been dating this guy for about 4 months (he’s very respectful,
kind, he wants to be a virgin when he marries, im in love with him and she knows this all)
my mom and brother have found out about him and are trying to take away everything i have
(my laptop, cell phone, ipod, ability to hang out with my friends) and i cant
handle it all. he goes to my school and my brother and his friends are spying on
me. its so hard to just see him and god forbid if my brother sees me and him holding
hands or hugging. i hear it ALL when i come home (he yells at me and threatens
me and him). so ive had to lie to my parents (which i hate but i have to.. hes basically
the only good thing in my life right now. My mom says me and him should get engaged but
im only 15 and i just want to see him and not marry him.. thats ridiculous)
my 20 year old brother has been taking thing into his own hands(hitting me,
yelling at me, threatening me) and my mom has been yelling at me
almost every day, ive been crying myself to sleep every night, ive turned
to cutting myself because i feel so dead inside. im NOT muslim and i should
HAVE to follow their morals. i cant take this anymore.. all i think of is
what ill need to take to survive and run away or ways to kill myself
or make them stop. im finding it hard to just get up every morning.
well once you turn 18 they won’t really be able to stop you kiddo. and you know you can go behind their backs and get into college without them. all you have to do is get their tax info to fill out the FASFA and if you talk to your guidance counselor about college i’m sure they will help you out. and so if you can go to college for free the only thing you’d have to worry about would be getting to the school but i’m sure you can have a friend help get you there i mean you’ll be 18 so your parents cannot say you’re running away.
