    Abusive parents
    Okay so I am 15 years old and my parents physically abuse me. Would writing them a letter and stuff still work for me? I live in Arizona and apparently the laws here are different. Any advice?

    So what HAVE you done? Have you talked to your teachers? Guidance Counselors? Clergy? At 15 you can't get a restraining order against your parents, but if you are truly being abused, then your local children's services agency should step in.
