Answer 2

I seen one answer that said to stand up for yourself... although she might have ment well, that will only escalate the abuse. An abuser is about control. They are trying to exert physical or mental control over someone they feel is most easily intimidated. There are those that are just down right mean spirited and lack compassion or remorse for what they have done or are doing. They could care less.

If you are in an abusive situation there are places to ask for and get the help you need.

A minor child can go to school authorities such as a law enforcement, counselor, principle, teacher or teachers aide and possibly a friends parent, or even a doctor. Depending on the child’s age they can call a crisis line, or protective services.

Adult men and women and the elderly can also contact crisis lines, support centers, law enforcement and the organizations for elderly people.
No matter what age, it is best to get out as soon as physically possible. Find a safe place to live away from the abuser and seek legal help.

Good luck, I hope that you are not experiencing this in your life. If you are try to get out safely.

Answer 3

Call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline
1-800-4-A-CHILD

The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

A lot of people don't realize it, but every day in the United States thousands of kids are abused and neglected. That adds up to millions of kids each year.

Often children and teens are abused or neglected by the people who are closest to them like family, friends, sitters, neighbors and sometimes even teachers and coaches. These are the very people that children should feel the safest with.

If you need help or have questions about child abuse or child neglect, call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) then push 1 to talk to a counselor.

Answer 4

you never do, yes you can call the police or social services but you need to make sure you have evidence which may be tricky, otherwise they will believe the adult and you are in a world of trouble as soon as they leave. I went through that for 10 years, I could not press charges against my father because I was a minor and my mother has a mental condition, I did finally get out of the house when I was 15 by going to a school counselor and telling her about the abuse, she arranged a 6 month "watch" and gave me a cell phone so I could call when everything was about to hit the fan. The police walked in to my father choking me with a towel...I was put into a group home until I was 18. It was nice being able to sleep.

Answer 5

First be clear in your own mind that the person who is doing the abusing is causing the problem -- NOT you. Then TELL someone and if you do not get a helpful response find someone who will listen to you and will help you to move on in your life.

Answer 6

Asking for help isnt easy. I would tell a friend: get them to get help for you, it feels better this way because you dont have to be afraid of being caught trying to get help...but tell someone soon because abuse can escalate quickly.

And yes it is hard to do: things are always easier said than done

Answer 7

By not abusing children in the first place.
Oops, I didn't get your drift, podner. YOU're the one being abused, right?
Then by all means talk to some trusted adult like school counselor, principal, your pastor or Sunday School teacher, or even you next door neighbor. Tell a cop, or if it is active, call 911. But hey, don't call 911 just because they spanked you when you misbehaved, OK?

Answer 8

if you're talking about in your past, then see a counselor and be happy it's over with.
if not, then talk to someone as soon as possible. i know someone who went through it and thought it was normal. don't EVER think that and make sure you do something to help yourself. nobody deserves to go through that. don't be afraid to talk to an adult. but if you are, and can't talk to someone, tell a peer and have them get help for you. do something and quick.

Answer 9

Are you in it now or in the past? If you are in it now report it to the police or social services, they need to take things like that seriously. If it's from the past get a theripyst

Answer 10

Report to the police and the rest of your family imediately as the more time you think what to do the worse it will get!!!!!!!
