Have u ever tried to tell a teacher about abuse, & they didnt believe you?

Question

Have any of you ever tried to ask for help, and tell a teacher about abuse you were suffering at home or anything like that, and they flat out dismissed it, didnt believe you, or were too umcomfortable to care?

I need to know if this happened to any of you, and what did the teacher say specifically? Thanks to anyone who answers!

Answer 1

No, it's never happened to me. But in my state, if a teacher has ANY reason to believe that abuse is going on, they are REQUIRED to report it to Child Protective Services. There's probably a similar law in your state.

Answer 2

yes

i told her that my step brother beat me up

and she said "well u kno how brothers and sister can be there allways fighting and arguing"

and i explained that he beat me really bad and i even showed her the bruises and marks on my neck and everything

and she said "wow looks like u where really playing rough you should be more carefull "

and i tried to tell her how he tied me up in a closet and left me for like 3 hours

and she didnt belive me

and i said that i lied a couple months earlier when she saw bruises on my back when i was changing in gym class i told her that i fell off my bike

and when i had a black eye once i said that i ran into a door

and she didnt believe me when i told her i lied about all those things

she accused me of just saying those things to get my brother in trouble

she said that i was just acting out cuz i was mad cuz my mom got married and that i needed to just accept it and stop crying for attention
