Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.

idk, is this hard to believe

I was adopted so my "mom" is old. In fact, she's 72. I don't know where she gets her strength...Yesterday, she was beating me again. Punching me all over, pulling my hair. Then she got a broomstick and started hittimg me. she wouldn't stop, and idk what made her stop after what felt like forever. Everyday she is either yelling at me or hitting me again. She says that I'm giving her an attitude all the time, when I know that is not true. That shouldn't even be an excuse for physical violence. I can't stay here for three more years. I'm tired of living my life, waiting for her to get it over with, to beat me because I know it's comming; the only surprise is when it does.
Is it hard to believe that a 72 year old could be strong enough to abuse a 15 year old?
I'm sorry to burden you with this.

*hugs* not sure, drank lots of milk when she was a kid? its not a burden though, don't ever think that... is there anyone else you can live with? I wouldn't recommend just running away though because very bad things can happen to you on the streets

yea, especially at your age and you need a job, you'd need to prove you were capable of living on your own... do you have other kids in the house?

she says that there's nothing we can do
there's no one we can stay with
there's no way we could get jobs to support ourselves AND do school stuff
it's impossible
and she's right
so i guess I have three more yeayears until itis possible

My mother amazed me at the strentgh she had when she was beating me. Many times I was sure she would kill me.I am not a teen like you today, but I was there once, and did not have the resources, and had 2 little brothers at home to care for.
Does your mom beat your sister too? I don't know where you live , but have you gone to a doctor of hospital to show them the marks and possibly be taken out of her care and go into foster care?

What your mother is doing is absolutely wrong and she should be stopped. You need to tell someone at school about what is going on. You have your sister as a witness. You are not an object that can be hit when your mother gets a whim. Someone needs to know about this - maybe your sister and you could be sent to a foster home - which doesn't sound wonderful but it is better than being beaten up all of the time. Good luck.

I would have to agreee.....you need to tell someone at school. They are there to help you. I will pray for you! I have a 15-year-old daughter also, and she thinks her life is terrible....if she only knew..

You could call the police or DCF. They'll look at you and see if you have any bruises. I don't know if you want to be taken away from her, though.

Why did she want you if she was just going to beat you?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
