You have several options. You can talk to a school counselor or call the police.
You deserve a safe place to live. I was a victim of parental abuse for 15 years. It was back when no one spoke of abuse and when I tried telling the counselors at school, they didn't do anything. Now, the laws have changed and any school official, any preacher/priest/Rabi/etc, police officer or social worker is REQUIRED by law to report it to Social Services/Child Protective Services/or whatever your local area's name is. That group is required to investigate and if needed, remove the abusive parent and get the child/children to a safe place.
Do not wait until you get another bruise or broken bone. Call someone today!

My husband is a social worker. You must speak with someone so that they can call the hotline to have your mom investiaged. Maybe she just needs some help. There are programs out there that can help her and will allow you to still visit your mom with supervised visits until she is all better. You shouldn't have to endure the pain of bruises and fractures. She should not hit you at all. Hang in there. This is not your fault and she just needs some help. I am sure you love her very much and don't want her to get into trouble but she needs help. This won't get better it will only get worse. Tell a teacher or a friend or someone that will call social services. I know it is all scary, but you don't deserve this.

When I was being abused, I wrote and mailed a letter secretly to my grandmother telling her everything! After some hard times, things got better. I would suggest going to this website I’ll post below, they have a free national hotline which can be anonymous, and they also have a ton of information on how to help your situation. If your Grandmother is no longer with you, think about someone else in your family that would help you and write them a letter! You can’t let this continue otherwise you’re going to be resentful and mentally scared your entire life. There is no reason you should suffer like that.

Oh sweetie you should not be going through this...Go to ur guidance counselor,teacher, befriend and tell them what is going happening. Your mom needs to be reported and your step dad well her really need to be reported too. Why did you go back home?Wrong thing to do.Can you stay with your grand-mom?This is sad. I had an abusive mom also the only thing was that I let her continue to do it.I did not do anything until i got married and she tried to do it to my daughter that is when i drew the line.Don't let it go that far do something right now. Speak to someone Call the cops go to a neighbor for help don't stay there because if she did all this to you who knows what she is capable of doing next..You don't deserve this.Do you understand? You do not deserve this. Tell someone pls...need to talk e-mail me(vivi010571@yahoo.com) God Bless You and Keep You Safe..

What is happening to you is not right. Go to school and report the incident right away and be ready to move. This is best for everyone.
Sorry to hear you dad died.
In the long run you could get alot of anger going on towards your mother and eventually pick up new tricks on how to beat your own kids someday; this is a cycle that needs to stop with you, understand why?
Go, do it today without delay.

I am so sorry that you are living like that. You need to go to the police or to the school, but you need to get out of there and if you have siblings you need to get them out, too. No child- no matter how old, should be abused by their parents. Take action now, before it's too late!

talk to someone at school about it. there could be issues with your mom that you dont know about and that could be the underlying cause of her abuse toward you. i would tell someone and try to get some help. i wish you all the best of luck and i really hope that you can move on from this, and know that its not any way to treat your children when you have them. hang in there and stay strong!

oh wow, one thing i know is that you cant just sit around and do nothing about it. I know its hard to tell someone aboutthis sittuation because you might not think its serious enough to get all these people involved, but if she fractured your shoulder and gave you bruises? wow. thats really bad. You should definitely talk to someone. It could be any adult that you trust.
