i may not be another girl, but i'm a 16 year old guy, so hopefully you'll still listen to my opinion.

first of all, you shouldn't take abuse. you don't have to. you're stronger than that, and no one should have to endure that. talk to your mother again, and don't take no for an answer. you need to get your point across that this guy is a jerk. I know that you don't want to let that little girl grow up without a dad, but growing up with a dad that's an *sshole is sometimes worse.

at the very least, try to get your step-dad into some counselling. if he won't listen to you, ask your mom to help you. the fact that he's abusive obviously means that he has some problems he seriously needs to work out, not just for your good, but for his own good.

and finally, remember that there's ALWAYS hope. NEVER lose sight of that fact. things will ALWAYS get better, i promise you. my mom died when i was 12 after a long battle with cancer, and if nothing else, the one thing i learned from her was to always have hope. the doctors said she had 2 months left initially. that was 10 years ago. she lived for 7 years after being diagnosed, and if that's not an example of God intervening, then I don't know what is.

If you are only 16 can get emancipated from your parents. That is if you have a job and enroll your self in a local high school and be able to support your self!It may take a while but instead of running away and getting a juvey record do it the right way. Be safe!

you can always go to god and pray

what if he has sexually abused in some way then what???????????????? Physical and verbal abuse

Well im not 16 but im about to be in june 2.But anyways thats not right for you mom not to believe you and believe him i say you should sneak out and go with another family member and tell them your problems. How old is your boyfriend? if hes over 20 forget it your not ready girl believe me you schould get on with your life and not get married your to young you should be able to have fun and enjoy your life ...

But then again its your life and you do what you think its best well if you would like to take my advice then goood luck with everything you r choosing to do.

ALWAYS HERE TO HELP OTHERS IN NEED (*_-)

Hi! Listen this is a very sad and scary situation. I know it must be terrible when you go to your own mom and she turns you away because of a man. I know I have experienced that feeling. Listen you can't give up. If you don't have anyone else like an aunt or uncle to talk to and tell your situation too then do what you have to do and call the cops. I mean yes your little sister loves this man but what if one day he starts doing the things to her that he is already doing to you. Don't give up and pray everynight. Think about my advice and get out of there as quick as possible.
Prayer Changes Things

Hey. I feel no one deserves to go through what you are going through. If i were you i would call the cops! You may be saving your little sister a lot of trouble one day. If you let him continue doing what he does to you, one day he might do it to her!? And most importantly you will be saving YOURSELF. This is a situation where you don't HAVE to think of others, you can think of yourself! You are the one getting hurt! It's tough that your mother doesn't believe you! But persist, everytime it happens tell her. try pick up on a pattern (when he abuses you: mornings? afternoons when she isn't there etc) then you can tell her when it is that he does it regularly and perhaps she can organise to get home without him knowing when he is abusing you! That way she will catch him red-handed. But running away won't be the solution. It will hurt your mom more than having to leave him (believe me) I hope this advice helps you in the SLIGHTEST way!
May God be with you and bless you!
Loadsa luv!!!!

PS: if you need a friend (but stranger) to talk to i am willing to give my help! You can email me and i will always be there to listen when you feel no one else will!

OMG, this sounds like one of my friends. Her mom was married to a guy who was always abusive and she is in the process of divorcing him. She found someonme else and he is a big time lose (too), and he treats my friend really bad because he is very jelous of here and her mom's relationship so she moved in with her boyfriend but now is living back at home. She turns 18 in a few months and is moving out. But what she did to ignore the things going on at home was leave. She would stay after school a lot or we would go hang out so it would keep her mind off of things at home!! Hope it helps!!

girl i know exactly how you feel cause the same thing is going on with me i think my step dad just dont like me.im only 16 too and i know its hard as hell but really the only thing we can do is take it..i want to be 18 to but we cant make time go any faster so we have to put up with it but if u ever want to talk you can hit me up email me or some thing is tiffany_luvs_every1@yahoo.com

hey I know exactly how you feel this is exactly my story except mine started when I was 9 till 11 and my Mom didn't believe me either I went into foster care at 11 and cried for along time then went to a counselor and told my story my step dad (Mom lover for life) went to jail and will not get out until I'm 35 My Mom came to me this year on my 16th b-day and told me she was sorry that she didn't believe me 5yrs ago and that she is happy and is moving forward with her life Look your a young lady and u don't deserve to be touched by
any guy no matter who he is I know how it feels to not have a dad ur sister will understand someday she might be mad at first but she will understand that u were not trying to hurt her u were trying to protect her so next time
u get a chance sit down with ur Fiance tell him ur story and find someone who can help u like relatives or a counselor I know ur probably like what a counselor is stupid I don't need counseling well I talked to one and got help b4 it ruined my life and now I'm happy living with people who care about what happens to me well I hope I helped if you just wanna talk e-mail me

well this is my opinion he is not ur dad so he cant tell u what to do or he cant hit u u need to tell ur mom that he is a *sshole and if she dont believe u make her tell her its either u or him dont take that sh*t I wouldnt but thats me
