i am 14 and i got into an argument with my mom this
morning which left me with a bloody nose..and a splitting head ache.
i went to school just after taking 3 advils. by lunch my head was hurting. so i went to the nurses office and asked her for some tylenol. she said w/o doctor notice i cant have any. she asked why and i said my head and nose hurt. she asked why and i suddenly frooze. i had no idea what to do. before i knew it i told her my mom hit me in the face. she was asking questions and filed a report. after talking to me for a bit. she realized it wasnt major. but still filled the report. i came home and my mom was givingme the silent treatment. saying she didnt want to talk to me because she thought i was a spoiled/greedy self centered. b itch.
inside as she was saying this like many times brfore i was crying. she calls me a drama queen and such. im so hurt.. what do i do? was it right for me to do that.. report her?

Your mom crossed the line...she has issues and you are taking the brunt of it. The nurse is trained and required to report findings of abuse and now you are paying for the sins of others.
If you are getting the silent treatment and feeling worse about it ...(emotional abuse) I'd go one step further as you are already in "it" deep. Speak to the nurse again and tell her what has transpired and that you feel worse than before because of her actions. She should set you up with a counsellor...after all, if her solution is to report noted physical abuse then she should have a solution to the problem that her solution has produced (silent treatment). Good luck and come back if this isn't corrected.

Wow. This is an interesting situation. Your mom had no right to hit you no matter how much you were annoying her or vice versa. Does she normally act that way? If she doesn't, tell her that you're sorry and that you didn't really mean it. YOur mother also shouldn't be cursing at you either or calling you bad names. Ask her why she hit you. If this doesn't help and she continues, you should consult a trusted adult ASAP.

You are not only being physically abused, but verbally also. You need some space from your mother in order to recognize that she is out of line. You also need to recognize that you might be purposefully pushing your mother's buttons. She has no right to abuse you. Please get professional counseling for the two of you and any other family members that may be in the home.

its never ok to strike a child, other than an occasional spanking, but beating punching or striking is never acceptable, its child abuse ... you may have the issues she says you do, i have no doubt, but that is not the way to handle them ... you should do some introspective reflection about what she says about your attitude because there is no doubt some truth in it ... you do need to modify your behavior. and yes, it was right to report her, by doing that, hopefully she never hits you again.

It's one thing to discipline someone, but hitting you in the face is not acceptable. You did the right thing.

you did the right thing .. she had no right to hit you like that in anger ... you would've reported a stranger doing it ... she'll need to get over it herself ... she was in the wrong ... you did the right thing and it's not your fault.
