Drug Abuse

Question by Shan: I’m not sure what to do. PLEASE help…?
guys, I’ve grown up in an abusive house for 14 years of my life, going on 15. it’s gotten harder to survive and i’m really sick of not being able to fight back. If i talk/scream back at her she gets worse… and i’ve never fought back because i was afraid that would get worse too. The hardest thing for me to admit is i’ve been Mentally, Physically, and Sexually abused.

“yells and abuses, leaves her with some bruises, teachers ask questions, she’s making up excuses, bleeding on the inside, crying on the out.”-runaway love
ever since i found this song I’ve been addicted to it, it reminds me that there are others out there with it worse or just as bad.

lately I’ve been thinking about doing drugs, so far I’ve stayed off them but it’s getting a harder as life gets harder. my grades are almost failing. they used to be all B’s. I had been drinking for awhile. I stopped because the one person that cares about me, well it was killing her to know i was drinking. (my best friend) there are a few times here and there where i will still have a drank, but i try not to.
I’ve ran away twice, once at age 9 the other at 13. and i’ve wanted to run away again since the cops brought me home at 13. my mom has tried to put me in Juvenile Detention Hall a few times. I ain’t a bad kid. It’s just the stuff I’ve been threw had messed me up a bit.

It’s really hard for me to trust people. My best friend is the only one that knows most of this, but it took me 2 years to trust her and she had to trust me completely first. A lot of my friends have been walking out one me lately… it’s making me being able to trust a lot harder.
So calling Child Services and trusting that there gunna end this, like most of you would suggest, isn’t really an option. I’m afraid to, cause i don’t know if they would take me away, where I’d go, and who would want me… no one would want me, I’d be in an orphanage till age 18.

I’m really sorry. I understand how you feel as I grew up being abused, also. You could discuss this with other family members that you trust. Maybe you could organize staying with one of them, and hopefully you will not be put into an orphanage.
