    You told us they beat you. That is an extreme situation, and the only way to handle an extreme situation is to do something extreme.

    If you won't call CPS, we will.
    I think its working. My dad said he will listen. Can I contact back inlike 2 weeks before we make a rash decision?

    Ask them to make a short and simple list of things they want you to do every day -- maybe five things, like, make your bed, make your school lunch (the night before?), fold any clean laundry and help put it away, do homework without arguing. Are they interested in making a good list for you?

    Now your story is changing.

    You said that they beat you. Beating is child abuse. A slap is discipline, not abuse. So which is it?

    Are you changing your story because you didn't realize we wouldn't walk away from this, we would make sure you got help? Or are you changing your story because you lied?

    If you lied about this, what else are you lying about?

    I think I should have rephrased my question. They slap me for like not following what they say. I just wanted to know why they were doing it. And how I could fix it

    Ok they said like each day they would spend 30 minutes takling and seeing if I had any problems. They started to cry as well. Could it be due to my lack of communication with them?

    So now my parents said they felt sad (after our talk). They also asked how I wanted to solve this. I said talk with me more. And try to talk it out first before slapping. Do you think I should tell them more?

    It sounds like they might not be clear with instructions, and maybe you aren't being a good listener.

    When did your parents tell you this? You've been posting to us all this time with no break.

    This can't be taken down. Once you post a thread, it stays unless it goes against site rules. Your thread doesn't go against site rules, so it won't be removed.

    My take on this. You posted here because you're ticked off that you didn't get something you wanted, and you wanted someone to feel sorry for you so you told a lie about being abused. When you realized that we could, and would, send CPS and the police to your house because you claimed to be abused, you realized that your lie could get you in big trouble.

    Yea they are. I guess I just misinterperated them. Like my perspective on them was different. And I know they mean it this time since they were so emotionally moved. They said that they would help out a lot.

    See they are not really good with like knowing what to do. So I told them how I posted here, they read the comments and you and the other person's ideas were helpful to them.
