My mom is a drunk and in rehab , my brother is dead, and my dad is abusive. I am stuck here alone and should get help but am afriad to: if my dad finds out he'll literally kill me. I still have the scar from when I tried to tell my teacher what was going on. My dad found out and literally threw my down them, then took me outside and punched me in the face. I see only two choices: run away or die. HELP!!

Have you any relatives you can go to, someone who you have trust in?
You are in a sad situation..and one that you must get out of.
Find someone at your school who you know you can trust and don't stop informing them of what is happening at home. Hopefully they will know the steps to help you out of it. I don't know how the system works where you are ..but I know that your father is breaking the law by abusing you and no child should put up with that. If there is a person at your school who looks after this sort of problem..seek their assistance, don't be afraid and make sure they know what happened when you last opened up to your teacher.
You are at a tender age of 14 and you are going through a lot more than just an abusive life. You must report your fathers behavior, I know it is frightening you but if you don't you will remain in this situation for a long time.
If you run you are not resolving he problem and allowing him to get away with the abuse he has inflicted on you. Dieing will only waste a life that had potential to become something great. Never give up on yourself. It is more braver to combat your problem than to give into to it.
Find that trusting and caring person and relate to them.
I wish you well.

One Day Just Don't Go Home On The Bus
Stay Late and Ask A Teacher To Bring You To The Police Station
Don't Tell Anyone About It until The Minute You Tell The Teacher
I'm Very Sorry
Good Luck!

You definitely need professional help. You NEED to tell and adult who will do something about it, such as a police officer, your doctor or a family member. Obviously it is too risky to ask someone in the family who will just talk to your dad about it. You need immediate protection. Start documenting what is going on and when it is happening. You may be removed from the house and put in the protective custody of family members; foster care. You can't let this abuse continue.

How about you go to child protective custody.
Get a restraining order put against your dad.
And they'll put you in a better place where no one lays their hands on you. And you won't have to worry about your father.
I'm sure the police will take care of his psychotic behaviour and will make sure he doesn't go near you or lay a hand on you again.
I'm sorry to hear about your brother and everyone else. But you just stay strong and you will overcome this.
Even if you defend yourself against your dad. Show him you're not taking anything from him anymore.

Live with a stable aunt or uncle and their family.. tell them what is going on.. they might be able to help you move in with them without causing a big family fight..
OR try a friends house, just start staying over more and more and eventually let the parents know you are afraid and like it there... they might keep you. As long as you stay out of trouble..and are a good influence on their kids...

Cara, you have other options. I am also sorry your teacher did not do her legal duty and help you. She is REQUIRED by law to report suspected abuse.
Please go to another adult you trust. Ask them to call DFS or the local hot line. If he has hit you recently, show up at any emergency room to file a report.
You deserve to live safe and free sweetie, not afraid.
Please look in the front of your yellow pages and call your local office or look on line for teen help.

you have to tell someone ! can you talk to another relative who can let you live with them? the only way to get help is to talk to a counselor at school and explain the situation. Ask for confidentiality so your dad won't find out.

Well, if your old enough. Get out. If not call Child Protective Services. The American orphan system sucks but, it's better than being beat. No one deserves that.

Call Child Protective Services. Get away from those people before you're really hurt. Wish I could help you.
