    May I ask how old you are?

    You can call Family and Children Services or Children's Aid. If you are being abused you should contact the police.

    Hi Kerri'... is there another member of the family you can talk to about this ?

    If you don't want to talk to anyone, write a letter to your teacher and give it to her straight away... she will sort this out for you

    Depends on what area of the world the OP lives in. We don't have those numbers in the front of our local phone book.

    Kerri I know that you must be frightened and that all the advise we could give you here is very hard to follow up on when you are frightened. No matter what the excuse or reasoning, it is not OK to be hit by ANYONE. Even if they make you feel like it is your fault, IT IS NOT! If you have a best friend, go to them. Go to a family member, if you do not trust in that, go to your school counselor, go to a teacher. If you cannot bring yourself to do ANY of those things call 1-800-4achild from ANY phone as it is toll free. You reached out to us Kerri, now reach out to someone who can physically help you. Be brave... Be strong...

    Too bad there is not much detail here. This could be a simple case of her getting a spanking to worst case she is being sexually abused. No matter what, if she calls adult and family services or what ever her state calls it, she will then be "in the system" and as such a case worker will take control of the situation and if this is something like simply a spanking, then she or her parents will no longer have much to say about her life. Being placed in foster care is better than the alternative for many children, but it is not the ideal situation to have the state dictating your life if this is a minor situation. Bottom line is that she needs to give enough details about this abuse so that the community can make accurate suggestions.
