my boss is a big bully and i want advice on how to deal with him! he accused me once of stealing fax money and now deducts it from my weekly wages. he pays me $150 a week and now deducts 50.. so i can barely do anything for myself. ihe knows i'm in a very vulnerable situation and all the money i can get. anyway, i have something important to take of and i need $400.. he said he'll help me out but i know he's lying... i asked him to stop the deduction till i get the money saved up and he refused saying that he'll help me come up with the money, now that doesn't make any sense... he treats me really bad and it hurts! who can i turn to and what can i do?

We both know what your boss is doing is wrong. But, to correct the wrong, you'll have to take risks. I know it's not fair, but we don't live in a perfect world.
With that said....
If he is accusing you of taking money from him and actually deducting it from your paycheck, and you didn't do it, then he is accusing you of crime you didn't commit and punishing you for it. You can turn around and sue him for it, or report him to the folks at the labor department.
But, doing that will or even mentioning it will automatically get you fired. The sad truth is, to protect yourself, you need to take risks you can't take and you'll need the money to do it which you don't have.
Bottom line is, you can't bargain or argue with anyone unless you are willing to take the ultimate sacrifice. He knows you can't and won't do it.
My suggestion to you is this. Since you are working for minimum wage, and if you are willing to work, the jobs are plentiful, I would suggest start looking for a new job. Once you find it (not before), leave this job, then report him.
You are correct that he will not help you come up with the money. He's just taking advantage of you and your weak position.

Unfortunately you'll uncover idiots like this far and wide on this planet. Kids in High college can also be enormously imply simply for the reason that they suppose they may be able to. You would come again with a assertion comparable to... whilst he hates how unsightly ladies blah blah blah.... you could talk up and say.. Too unhealthy you suppose i'm an unsightly lady, nonetheless, I can continuously difference to be lovely, however you'll be caught with that unsightly angle your complete lifestyles. I am sorry you have got to manage youngsters who don't have any brains and weren't introduced up with ample compassion and knowledge that simply for the reason that you don't appear just like the film stars on television, you're nugatory. I am definite you're most of the time an excessively high-quality watching younger woman, and person who has shiny stars to your long term!! Ignore the chumps, and deliver on lovely woman.. you'll do great!!

I'm not an expert on this, but that sounds like a situation you could take up with your local labor department. He doesn't seem to be treating you equally and as an (assuming) American worker, you have rights. He has to have actual proof to be able to take money out of your wages so you can definitely dispute that.

Get out of that situation as fast as possible. He is illegally pulling money out of your check to get your wages back. My question is he is claiming that you stole from him, why did he keep you around? Most employers I know would fire someone on the spot. He is using you for your wages.
I hope you find something better, no one deserves that! :)

Get another job.
Quit on the spot.
Slap your boss across the face (then run)
That's what I would do.

Try complaining to his boss. Maybe legal action could be the answer.
Sorry.
