    I am 14 and I want to go in foster care
    My mum dad makes me feel unwelcome as my mum gets home from work she says do this do that and constantly moans at me. My sister gets away with anything and my dad occasionally shouts at me and always tells me to shut up and threatens to hit me

    Do you cheerfully "do this and that"? Does she moan because you don't help out around the house?

    Call the Child Protection Agency in your area and explain that you are being abused. (I don't know what "moans" at you means.)

    You could also report the abuse to a trusted adult, perhaps a family member, a teacher, a Physician, a clergyman.

    Foster care is pretty rough, but I'm sure you've looked into that.

    You could also talk to your parents and see why they are "abusing" you. Perhaps having another adult present during the conversation would be helpful.

    If you do go into foster care you will stay, probably in a group home, in my area 4 to 6 per room, sharing a TV, etc. and when you are 18 you will "age out" which means you will have to leave the home with the clothes on your back.

    Does that sound like where you want to be?

    Yes, foster care is a rough life, the foster parents will not moan, they will demand you do certain work around the house. There is no money for extra things, and of course most homes have two or three foster kids, some can be mean and dangerous even, who will be an issue for you.

    I wish there was a way for you to spend two weeks in one, you would be crying and begging to go home
