I agree about the naiveness of this from a 16 year old, just doesn't add up. I have been noticing a lot of *coincidental* posts over the past week where wording and situations are too similar. I think they need to do a check over the past week of new names.

No I haven't chatted on sites. I only talk to my friends at school.

Point being that if you are allowed to chat on sites you are able to contact the 911 in your area to get the police to your house. The way I figure is you've lived with it this long and it may be safer to be in school when the police/CPS are called to your house, but that is your call if you need them sooner than the start of school

I've been trying to get help for a long time. I searched the internet for any place I could get help. I found a couple of sites as well until I found this site a few days ago. I decided to try this one.

Did you call any of the 800 numbers for abused children?

My only advice is to take this as an opportunity to be a good independent person for yourself, and not by the things you want from others that they can't give you, for whatever reason. Your parents are humans, flawed and caught up in their on stuff. As are many of us, even you, but what you can do is plan now and learn, to not only cope with them, and your situation but make yourself better.

Its only a matter of time (2 years) before you can stand on your own, and do things as you please IF you are ready when the time comes.

Have you talked to any other family members about how you are feeling? To feel unloved by your parents is sometimes normal as a teen, but maybe you should ask them to sit down and tell them exactly what you just old us. Tell them you want to spend more time together, tell them you want more hugs and family time and love. Tell them everything in a respectful mature way and I think things will change.

This is a site that gives advice, not a site that takes action. There is a big difference between asking for suggestions and calling someone to step in and help.

You need to stop talking about your problems and take steps to end them.

I will add that I have friends who are single mothers. Their children, some as young as 12, prepare dinner almost every night in order to help their working moms. I don't find this to be abusive. Sleeping outside? Yes. AGAIN, notify the Police.

I have tried talking to my mom about how I feel and she just keeps yelling at my face and screams in my ear. I never been hugged by my parents and hey only hug each other. My parents just never do it with me.
All I said to my mom was "mom, I just have something that I wanted to tell you"

You answer questions very selectively. I won't believe a word you say until you tell me how you can be an only child who has to cook for 'the whole family,' how you can not know about sex by the age of 16 yet be in the US, and why you haven't told the police or ANYONE about being forced to sleep outside.

I think you and 3 of your friends are sitting around giggling and betting on how long you can keep this post going. Heck, when I was 14 (52 years ago) we used to call random phone numbers and see how long we could keep the call going (or just yell something stupid and hang up). As an adult, I've had crank calls (usually porn) designed to see how long they could keep me on the phone.

The term these days is troll.

I'm with Joy. I do not believe a word of what you say. You have the run of the house, can use a computer, have had this mistreatment supposedly happening to you since you were 4, but have never told another adult? Give me a break! You may have a great future as a writer.

Yep 16 and says, '' I can hear them saying stuff like "I love you" and stuff like that. I have no idea what they are doing since the door is locked and I can't go in.'' The hundreds of pre teen girls that I've known in the past 15 years having babies, its hard for me to believe this either.
