My mum is always beating me up my dad tells her not to but she does it when he's not around she never lays a finger on my brother no matter how much work I do in the house or how much I help her I am never able to do my school work and have bad results because of this my brother get excellent results and because of this they always praise him get him anything he wants. My mum and dad are always going out and leaving me to look after my baby siblings for more than 3 hours most of the times. I have to clean,bath, and feed them and look after them 2 hours in the evenings everyday when they both go to work, my brother goes everywhere with them and goes outwith his mates when my parents gout, my grandparents have tried telling them he's spoilt if my brother makes a mess I have to clean it up and I am only 2 years older than him he is old enough to do it himself, they blame everything on me they never let me go anywhere or have any fun. I am never allowed on the iPad while they r on it 24/7. please can I have some advice as I have become very sensitive due to this and I self harm.

Hi khadz17, how old are you? Where do you live (such as England or Australia)? Are you a girl, I assume? Are your parents from a culture that puts all their attention on boy children? How exactly does your mother beat you up? (Important in case you need to report it to a school nurse.)
How do you self harm, and do they know? Have they taken you to a therapist, or even a regular MD?

Even before you answer, I can say that many parents can't handle children who harm themselves, because they feel like failures, and that feeling makes them feel guilty, and guilt makes them resentful and angry. They don't know what to do. There are things they can do, but they have to want to do them.

Will wait til you reply, and others will have advice too.
