The obvious answer would be to find a counselor that you can talk to and help you work through your problems. Another idea is to find something physically draining to do that you enjoy. Know that you are not alone and most everybody has been a victim of abuse in some way or another. It is really terrible that it was your own family...people you are supposed to be able to trust and rely on. You need to make your own family and friends now...good people that can understand you and help you become a good person. Maybe you can help other people that have been through the same things. I personally do not feel that cutting is harmful. It is the anger and emotional pain behind the cutting that is the most harmful. It's a way of trying to change the emotional pain into physical pain. Please do get some kind of help or this will ruin your life. It already will be a part of your life forever and will affect decisions you make in the future but if you can find a way to work through it, you will be a better person...a person that you can like. At school, join clubs or volunteer or something to help you make friends. I was a quiet, shy person in school and I found out at my reunion that some ppl thought I was stuck up. They didn't know I was shy and some ppl that I thought didn't like me, actually did and we are good friends now and can laugh at how we were in school. Don't presume to know what other ppl think of you unless they've told/shown you first-hand. Bullies should not get away with what they do. You SHOULD report them but I know that is something hard to do at your age. Talk to the school counselor. That's what they are there for!!! It's hard but you have to take that step in order to get better.

First of all, I would immediately talk to your school counselor and tell her about the abuse. Counselors are by law required to notify their State's abuse hotline, and then the issue is immediately investigated. In this situation you will probably be removed from the home and placed in foster care or more than likely other relatives who you trust. If abuse is substantiated the abusers will pay for their crimes. Some people prefer not to go this route however. Let the school counselor know of your concerns. If she can't help you then look in the yellow pages and search for counseling centers and seek counseling. Some community counseling centers get state and federal funds to provide free services. There is also an abuse hotline you can call, and this is a number that you get from either your counselor, yellow pages, or even 911. I know its scary trying to get help for the abuse - fearful that if you tell your abusers will even hurt you more; but, you can't continue to live like this, and there really are people out there who want to help you. I would think your best bet is to first contact your school counselor.

Sweetie, you need to get out of this situation immediately. There is no excuse for anyone to be physically or sexually abusing you, no way! Go to your school counselor or a teacher that you trust, you must be taken out of this situation, it is dangerous. I can understand you must be feeling so hopeless and hurt and scared. Seek help, talk to a school counselor, talk to a police officer, a trusted teacher, a friend's parents, someone, this is not a good situation. You must find the courage to fight back, you deserve to be treated like a human being, not someone's punching bag. Much luck to you, you will be in my prayers.

Go to the police and report what is happening, as soon as you can. You need professional counselling.

tell your school counselor about what is going on at home.
Later on you will regret why you haven't talked and this will make your feelings worst.
