Answer 2

1) Get out of a harmful situtation any way you can! That goes for anyone.  You Will get the help you need if you seek it. Call the police if you are in trouble. You will need all of the reports and documentation you can get if you are truly being abused.

2) The first thing the teenage needs to do (prior to making any strong move out of the house) is give them self the ability to be a teenager. With that said realize that your hormones trigger your reactions more than anything else in the world! Realize too that both men and women go through these changes regularly and the emotional  displays put on by many humans is often exacerbated by society and drug use, including alcohol.

A teenager has a responsibility to their family to go beyond what their parents have done. Not financially, but to observe the things that their parents didn't, couldn't or were not able to when they were younger. This is a tremendous role in a family unit, to be the look out and bring valid information to the rest of the family. To be in this family role position and feel that your opinions and contributions are not worthy of dicussion or worse don't even count in your home or society, is like being a homemaker and not getting financial recognition or ealth insurance for having a valid job.

However, if you truly have understood yourself to be violated and not just responding to an emotional outburst, it is up to you to make the final decision where you or the teen in question, might find help or at least sanctuary from abuse. If this site is where you came to for help, try the locations suggested by other posters. Just make sure you are asking for help for the right reasons. Remember, your best gift to your family might be that you spark the flame to getting help together and overcome whatever it is that is hurting all of you to the point that your feel you are here now. Rememver too, that you are not the first teenager to be abused literally or just felt that way inside momentarily.

Answer 6

I'm not sure what type of abuse you are dealing with, but it's important you talk to someone you trust. I know people close to me who dealt with similar situations and they regret that they didn't tell anyone in time enough to get help.

Not sure what part of NY you are in but I put a phone number below for you to call.

I will pray for you.
