Please don't tell me I'm being immature or stupid. I really need help.
Most of my life I never got along with my dad and he beat my brothers and hit me sometimes too. I faced a lot of emotional abuse. My freshman year I found "freedom" in skipping school and such. Now, I wish I didn't. I never knew how important an education was or anything like that.
So I screwed up, made a lot of bad mistakes, and I can't change the past but I can work on tomorrow. I have straightened out my life so much withOUT my parents help. Now, they're stepping in and I just want to cringe & give up.
They tried to send me to a school 13 hours away from home and the school didn't accept me. Now they're trying to send me to boot camp. I don't need this crap, they're making everything worse.
I want to run away, but I wont have a job or education. What are run away shelters like? I can't live here anymore. My mom thinks I'm a SL*T and I'm still a virgin!

I've stuck through so much crap at this house and I can't not take it anymore. I was adopted and they're both 61. I need some space, some freedom. I don't get to go out with friends or even play sports.
What do I do? What are some run-away shelters or pages I can look into. Someone please help me out.

Because you were adopted and because you are still a minor and feel that you are being abused in anyway, you can call on the help of the court system. Call the court house and ask for Child Services and tell them you need to talk to someone about your situation. They will view your case with you and will place you in a foster home where you can feel safe and finish your schooling without the pressures you are going through or without being forced into actions you do not wish to do. When you get a chance, read the Trilogy Autobiography written by Dave Pelzer. It is his life story about the emotional, mental and physical abuse that he went through while growing up at home. After you read his story, you will feel like your problem isn't so bad, I guarantee it. My dad was a criminal investigator with the Sheriff's department and my parents were foster parents so we got a lot of kids that were abused by their parents as temporary siblings. None of the cases that he ever had or the kids we ever had in our home were treated like Dave Pelzer's mom treated him. I have never heard of any abused kid going through this stuff. I hope you can find some help, but I believe your best bet is to get some Authority help from them. They need to know that your home is an abusive one. The three books that Dave wrote about himself are called: "A Child Called It" (1st one) "The Lost Boy" (2nd one) "A Man Named Dave" (3rd one)

I'm dealing with the same crap as you are. Only, I live with nothing but girls, and my dad doesn't beat me........my mom does. I want to run away too, but I need some confidence first. My advice is to wait for the perfect moment to strike. Then, you'll know what to do.
