Im a 14 yr old girl, I live with my parents but they abuse me, they never have enough food, they rarely have any money. Is it a good idea if I move out or should I stay home?
You should leave - but not without a plan first. Also, you need to MAKE sure that your parents "really" abuse you before you call some hotline. They dont want to her stories from kids who think that they have an unfair life when in all actuallity their parents are not physically abusive and they are just being parents.
If your parents are abusing your physically then yes. Call the police or CPS, but they take these claims very seriously and there will be an invesitagtion so make sure what you say is true, because they will find out if it's not.
Do you have a close family member that you could stay with for a while. Your too young to make it on your own, your not even old enough to get a job, and you can't drive and don't have car. You have no way of taking care of yourself, you need to find a trusted adult to talk to. There is always your school counsler if you don't have any relatives that you can talk to. You would be suprised at how much school counslers can actually help you.
Yeah I would say leave... but only if you're going to a better place.. on the streets is not better. Maybe some family...? Where are your grandparents? Hey chick-fila hires 14 year olds! Then you could feed your self and not be home enough for them to abuse you. This might be a horrible answer (people please dont hate me) You could get pregnant then get some government assistance wik and they will give you money for food... but then thats 2 more mouths to feed and a whole nother thing to worry about. Another horrible answer but just a thought.. You could start dating older guys and be really nice to one thats nice to you and move in with him. Find one of those guys that are divorced and cant stand being alone and just wanna share their bed with someone.
Going out on your own is not an option - you can't make it at 14 - go to a trusted adult, teacher, counselor, principle, or minister, discuss the situation and with their help determine your best course of action - not knowing what the abuse is, options: call 911 if needed - gather evidence if able, etc but priority seek help !...you're in my thoughts and prayers.
It'd be best to contact child's services, if you don't know the phone number there is a hot line and a website you can go to for help.
