Well I get 'hit for things like not praying,not ORGANIZING my closet and stuff simple stuff and I go to a class and when you don't look at your religion book or hold it the right way or sit the right was they hit you brutely and when I tell my parents about this they sternly say it's good for you so I just mostly sit in the back of the class and try not to get noticed its not like I have a problem with reading and sitting and looking and repeating the same verses over again for four hours, well I do its not my biggest problem the problem is why I do it I do it it's because we have to memorize the verses like pages and page and we only have a few hours or some people like me just can't seem to memorize it and well if I didn't all hell would break lose I would get beatings consistently and get yelled at and I already have enough of that at home so I fake tell them that I pass so I would survive for the day I've been doing that do a long time and still to this day I'm doing it ...I really want to try to learn and all but I have school too and right after school I have that class and my parents won't barely let me do homework they say go memorize and then do your homework and my dad stays till 7:00 usually and I just try to avoid him in the mornings I go right to school and afterwords to religion class and my mom is a stay at home mom with 4 other kids so I don't think SHE acnologise my feelings much I barely get to go out the only way I can is to beg for a month and all I have to do is plaster a fake smile on my face even when I'm crying on the inside someday I want to meet a guy who changes my life forever with a simple smile and I hope one day I could smile a real smile for once too but too bad it's against my religion and most of the time I just want to go and tell my mom 'hey parents I'm sick of my life and lead them to my small room I share with my brother and say do you see all of the tally marks that's about how many times I wanted to kill myself' I wish I had real friends ...enough of that the reason I'm finally letting this out is because my mom just asked me if her 'small hits that leave marks are considered abuse and whether if someone asked me I would say I get abused I said yes and she then got mad at Me I went and got my tablet and ran upstairs because I was furious how dare SHE say that I was lieing and that wasnt the first time this week she said that bulls**t my dad told me I could no longer read books and I wasnt allowed and that I was only allowed to read religious books why don't they get this I will never be the religious child and smart child they want me to be I would runaway but I don't know anyone close here and I have nowhere to go but I will move out I'm still living this hell unlike other people on this site

There are many stories on this site of young people still in an abusive situation. I urge you to contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone about the abuse you are dealing with. They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you. They are not a reporting agency, although they can help you through the process of reporting if you decide to disclose the abuse. Visit their website by copying & pasting the following URL into your browser: http://www.childhelp.org/get_help

You said you want to someday meet a guy who "changes my life forever". I can understand why you feel that way. I felt that way once myself. But what I learned was that I had to be the one to change my own life. I had to be the one who brought happiness into my own life. Right now, that's so hard to do for you because you have no power to change what your parents are forcing you to do. All you can do is change the way you respond. Challenging, I know. Look for ways to enjoy what you're doing. If you keep hating all of it, more and more hatred will come into your life. But if you look for aspects that are enjoyable, even if you have to enjoy them in private, then it's always something to look forward to. Some brightness in the dark. You are not the lies you've been told about yourself. You ARE smart. You ARE worthy. You DO deserve to be treated with dignity and respect and love. Start by treating your Self in that way. Don't lose your Self in the abuse. You CAN rise above it. And then use it with great purpose. Don't give up. We need people like you in the world. You ARE loved. Remember that always. I send you love, light and healing energy. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

HI.

Right now your situation feels hopeless & you feel helpless. But this will not always be the case. Time goes by quickly , you will become older & wiser & more options will present them selves to you. For now you may need to stay in your current situation. but view it as a challenge - i.e. ( don't let them win ) take each situation and absorb it and let it make you mentally stronger. don't pin all your hopes on some guy saving the day - You may just end up being taken advantage of. build your mental strength & then leave. and back yourself to be able to provide for your self. I did it. you can to. If you need a friend to talk to I'm happy to be one. [Through comments here.]
