What is it that lead up to the events? First it was great that you got help. Make sure you always have someone you can trust and tell everything too. Now you need to maybe seek professional help. Start by talking to your guidance councilor. See how he/she feels about the issue. He is already charged in court so the law is doing there side. Do not let this effect your life. Sometimes people make bad choices in life. Your father making this one......
Pray to GOD for help.... and he will lead you in the right direction... Good Luck !

Well it actually depends on where you live. Will they feel bad for you and act like you're so needy? or will they understand? Just think about how they will react, and think, do you really need that kind of attention? So just think before you tell them the truth. Also, where is the bruise? If it's like on a noticable spot, then cover it. But if it's not, then whats the point? You just have to ask yourself, what do I want people to think?

You have nothing to be ashamed of,even though i do understand it is not nice to say a parent did it.
you should not go through such a life that it is threatening to your future.
Any true friend will help you get over it and be there for you.
Your dad stepped way over the line of correcting you or letting you know he has a problem,and needs to understand this and improve on his parenting skills.
Regardless of this,deep down you will still love him even though you are hurt right now,and if you can write a letter to him to let him know how you feel,then maybe he will see sense and be a better parent for you in the future.

why did your father hit you? where did he hit you? Why were you around him if you had a restraining order? what did your mom say about your dad hitting you?
First of all talk to your mom. Then decide. There is so much that you have not told us. Why did you leave out so much?

Honestly, I'd tell the truth. If someone asks, and you tell them, it may help you come to terms with what happened. I'd imagine that you'd get some sympathy too.
What you are going through is not easy, but it would probably be easier with the support and understanding of your friends.

Cover it with make-up. Tell those you want to tell. People understand those things happen. Don't skip school, life goes on. Remember what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger. Use wisdom. Don't run from a problem, confront it.
Hope this helps.

i'm so sorry for your situation, hun, and i'm glad you are safe. i used to have this problem with an ex BF. going into work and facing my boss and customers really kills. i normally don't wear make-up, but i did while having to face the public. even if the bruising was still quite apparent, it made me feel a little better to cover it up so i didn't have to explain Everything to Everyone. stay safe, Sweetie, my thoughts are with you!! xoxo

i am sorry that things are so difficult for you right now.
please be sure to see a therapist or your school counselor. i would really like it if you were working through your emotions with a trained professional. you will be glad later if you do it now, trust me.
good luck in all you do, you sound like a great girl who knows how to make wise decisions for herself

call the police it is a crime you said that you have a restraning oder and if he is going to jail for doing this efore. i know you may love your dad even after everything but still it is not right and if you don't act on it he might do it to you again again or someone else
