Ok... my parents beat me with a belt... although my dad calls it 'royaly whipped' or 'getting your butt skinned' *shudders* when I was younger, to beat me, they would have me take off my bottom clothing... sometime they would have me take off my underwear also... as I got older I kept my pants or shorts on... although one time my mom told me to do it again when dad said 'i was getting to old for it' and she was there when he said it. And after every beating I wake up the next day with a lot of bruises and they don't go away until a few weeks. My dad even threatens to slap me... my mom sometimes would tell me that she sometimes wish that she could just grab me and rip me apart... I don't know why... I mean yeah I have done something in the past... but everyone has its not like I'm the only one... when my dad or mom(mostly dad) yells at me its very hard not to cry... now that I'm afraid of them I flinch or I shut my eyes really tight then they look at me like I'm crazy. I once told my dad that I was afraid of him and surprisingly he was shocked to hear that! I don't know what to think anymore... They say they love me... and they act like it too... but its like when I screw up on something they are different people... and there has been afew times where I didn't do something and they'd think that I was lying... so I was beat pretty bad(I nearly passed out and I was 7 or 8)
Could they really love me but beat me out of anger?
Or could they be angry with me and abuse me?
Everyone has said to call the police... but I'm afraid if I will regret it... im afraid that it won't go well... I don't know what will happen... please help me!

You ask if you parents are abusing you, and then you go on to describe horrible abuse at their hands! You mean to say that you don't know this is abuse?

If you don't want to go to the police, which isn't the first approach anyway, and you have marks to prove your allegations, then talk to a school counsellor about your issues and let them take it from there.

I think you should be removed from that household and put in foster care to get you away from this.

How old are your now ?

I am 14 and I'm homeschooled

Why are you being homeschooled ?

Why are you being homeschooled ?

Well my parents have told me its because of the time I wasn't homeschooled I went to a public school and I have been bullied there... so they kept me at home they are thinking about putting me in a private school the next school year... they haven't made their decision yet

What are some of the things you do that they beat you for?

What are some of the things you do that they beat you for?

I use to lie to them... that stopped a long time ago
Now it's that I always forget to clean certain parts of the kitchen when I do the dishes and that I argue with my brother, even when I don't do my school work correctly

So why not clean the kitchen correctly (do you know how, and what to do?), stop arguing with your brother, and do your homework correctly?

Who is your homeschool teacher?

I have more than one homeschool teacher... yes I do know how to... and I want to I just keep forgeting... and the reason why I'm arguing with him is because he acts as if I never knew an answer to anything and mom does... he thinks that I'm always wrong... and its kind of hard to do my homework correctly because my teachers and computer sucks...

How do your teachers suck? Are they online?

How does your computer suck?

My computer sucks because it keeps on disconnecting... my teachers suck because they take forever to help me

So you can go along at your own speed?

Not easy...

Once, that is really unusual, here you say you are abused at home, and your parents pulled you out of school because you were bullied, then you come home and they beat you up. This does not make sense to me, once.

My teachers don't tell me much about the things that I need to know... they only tell me a few facts then they give me a problem that I cannot figure out because of the little bit of teaching they give

They have beaten me all my life...

Have you said if you are girl or boy ?

Do you get out to interact with other teens your age ?

If they enrol you in a private school, then they can abuse you any longer, because you won't be at home.

I don't know, something doesn't add up here. It takes money for private schools, so your parents must be pretty well off ?

Is here a textbook or lesson sheet you are supposed to also read and think about?

So you are failing because the teachers really aren't doing their job?

I'm a girl, I'm just now starting to be around teens my age... but most of them are four to five years older than I
And my father owns a few companies

Yes I am failing the teachers do half of the job done -_-

Did you have trouble with teachers and school and maybe were failing when you were in public school?

Yeah its troubleing and no I wasn't failing... the teachers there treated me wrongly too -__-

I'm sorry to hear that! What was going on?

I'm sorry to hear that! What was going on?

Well for right now... I have two more months to finish my school work and if I don't I fail the grade... or my parents will have to pay more money for me to continue... they are already mad at me because hhow far behind I am

You're not getting real-time, real-life help or tutoring if you don't know how to do something?

You're not getting real-time, real-life help or tutoring if you don't know how to do something?

Nope

So if you don't know how to do something, what do you do about it? Just quit? Ask an online teacher (a chat room) or what?

I go online to look for a free tutor they take forever sometimes I just figure it out on my own

This isn't really homeschooling. It sounds like programmed learning (sort of). Are your parents involved at all with helping with teaching you or tutoring you?

Well this is how I see it... my teachers are in diff places on the country
They send me schoolwork online and I do the work... if I have a problem I go to my parents if they don't know then I Google my problem if I still don't find the answer I Google for a free tutor like I said before... it is a program like thingy but it is homeschooling

And you are doing this because?

And you are doing this because?

Why am I being homeschooled?

Yup. Seems like homeschooling isn't working at all. Plus, you don't seem to like it very much.

Ummm would you like if you were stuck in a home 24/7 every day all day for 5 going on 6 years?

Homeschooling isn't supposed to prevent interaction with other kids your age. Aren't you in Scouts or 4-H or a church group or on a sports team?

Let's do this. Let's put our heads together and think of the perfect situation for you for school. What would you say it is?

Most home school kids have activities with other kids, programs from sports, to dance to martial arts, to fitness. Others have home school groups that meet for some classes or for play time.

There are kids in the neighborhood that you play with in the evenings.

There are church groups, 4 H, Scouts and more.

My parents would let me... but they can't find a good class

I mean for school to learn subjects -- public school, private school, boarding school, homeschool.

Why can't they find one?

Oh oops... I'd rather go to a school then stay at home... I don't mind what type just as long as I'm away from home

Why can't they find one?

I don't know...

So what would you do about the bullying problem?

I can agree I would not allow my son to go to any of the public schools in our area and the couple private schools that may be a possible are to pricey.

If done properly a child can get a much higher degree of education faster being home schooled. And is done often because of political or religious views. The number of home school kids now are very large and growing every month.

But parents have to do the education correctly and need to be using planned educational programs. In most cases this is to teach from a direction of a religious or social view point.

Do you ever screw up just because? Because you don't feel like it? Because you feel lazy? Because you don't see the point of it all?

Well when I do something wrong its mostly because I'm afraid about something... this may not make sense but it's true

I maybe afraid of spiders and snakes... but that's not the main fear... its my parents that I'm more afraid of than anything else

So if you try hard and do well and stay out of trouble (and I can tell you are smart enough to be able to do all that), then things should go well with your parents, right?
