So here's the deal. Me and my brother and sister are being physically abuse, neglected, adn emotionally abused. I've wanted to report this ever since i was in the fourth grade, but i have always been too scared to. But today an incident occurred where i really relaly feel like I need to. The physical abuse isn't as bad as most people that you see on TV, but apparently it is extrememly bad because of the reactions I get when I tell people. Especially to my friends, they are just flabbergasted when I tell them this stuff, which means I definitely have it bad. What should I do? I'm only 13.. There's not much I CAN do, but something needs to happen. I tried counseling (for anorexia that I have) but that didn't work because I don't do it anymore and I never got to really tell the psychiatrist what was really happeneing. I need some relaly good advice please.

Oh you poor thing! As hard as it might be, you really need to tell someone-- you deserve to be treated properly and protected. I would first go to the police if I were you, but if you feel you're not ready for that yet, confide in any responsible adult-- it could be a teacher at school, a guidance counsellor, a friend's parent. Anyone!
You should do something about it! You owe it to yourself, and to your brother and sister. No one should be hurting you-- even people you love and care about. Please, please get the help you need!
Good luck!

PLEASE RUN as fast as you can to a teacher or police officer or close friend or neighbor. Maybe one of your friends parents would be a good choice. You must do this immdiately. If you are the oldest it's your responsibility to help your brother and sister. Any form of child abuse is not right, no matter how little you think it is. I promise one day when you are an adult you will be thankful you did this. Your brother & sister will also thanj you. Don't be scared. The first move is the hardest.

Run, don't walk to your nearest hospital and or Police Department and report what you know. If you choose to go to the hospital, please please see the social worker on call. Tell him or her the entire story as to what is going om with you and the others. Do the same with the police. Yes, it can be a bit scary, but don't give up or be afraid as there are people in both places qualified and willlng to help. They will also do whatever it takes to protect you and the others. Good Luck

should you bother?! of course you report it, if not for yourself for your bro and sis. you all deserve to lead a good life and you have a chance at saving your family and although you are young you are obviously strong or you wouldn't have endured all these years. don't be afraid to speak up and there is a lot you can do, go to your school counselor first and they will help you through it. also contact your psychiatrist again and be firm, have your bro and sis back you up. if they don't help call the police. you owe it to yourself and your bro and sis.

if you feel you are being abused then you should call the local child protective services or just call the police and file a report. you have the right to do that.

Just tell the psychiatrist what is really happening. It is the psychiatrist's responsible for your safety, since you are under 18 years old.

Its easy. One simple phone call to 911. Its that easy. They will take care of the rest. You may think you are doing something wrong by calling. YOUR NOT! The person doing this to you guys is the person that is wrong. This is what the person doing wrong needs. It will be a wake up call for them. Just call!
