Celestrina replied: Have you tried talking to a teacher or the school nurse? They will know how to help you. Please don't be afraid to get help.

allstarkid12 replied:
Not really because the thing is, it's hard for me to talk to other people. Only because when I was little I was abused, and now that I am adopted I am being abused again and it seems like I can't trust anyone.

Celestrina replied: Coming here is a great first step. It shows that you are more ready than you think. I suffer from depression and have attempted suicide. It wasn't until after my attempt failed that I sought help. It isn't always easy, but talking to an adult is the best thing to do. Your school nurse will be trained in how to help you. Please seek help before it gets worse.

Well I kinda almost sut my vein open and I tried and tried again to actually cut it open because that is how badly I am getting beat from my parents. I tried to go to the nurse but I chickened out. So right now I don't know what I am going to do because every night I sneak out of the house and every weekend I run away from home. So I really don't know what to do.

Celestrina replied: Please, please get help. Are there any adults that you trust or feel you can talk to?

allstarkid12 replied: Not really considering I've been abused by four adults in my entire life I don't think that I could trust an adult

gr33n3y3z replied: well call the police
or just walk into any hospital and they will not turn you away

A&A'smommy replied: do you have any friends that you could talk to that have parents they trust because if they are okay then you could trust their parents... I know its hard to trust what has been happening to you is wrong and unfair. Could you go to a church and talk to a youth minister or even to one of the students there?

loveydad replied: You guys i have it on good authority this person is not telling the truth, after all, she's posted here before about she didn't do drugs but her freinds does.

If she did cut why would she post about it. I know a cutter. The only reason I know he cuts is because I see the scars when he rolls up his arms.

If your abused, why come to a parenting website, we cna't help you here. You need to go to the police or someone in real life.

This person just wants attention guys. sad.

I know
I went to classes for this but I still had to respond
Its my job.

loveydad replied: she's always here, she lurks. But she posts too, and wshe just wants attention. My son was the same way at 13, he got me into trouble quite a few times let me tell you.

She's lying according to memebers of the board. I doubt anyone with that problem would come to a MESSAGE BOARD on the INTERNET instead of going to someone real, like someone at school.

good one lisa.

loveydad replied: aslo if she was really burning someone would have seen and if she slit her writs she'd probably die. i know someone who almost died that way. when i cut my hand across the line in my hand i almost died.

gr33n3y3z replied: Thank you Vig
Yes no abused woman or child would admit to what she said.
Maybe when they really reach out for help but they have to be able to trust someone first.

loveydad replied: it's also not that easy to just be adopted. She'd go to foster care first and those people are REALLY REALLY screened.

gr33n3y3z replied: Ok
here is a number to call
1-800-792-8610
I know thats the number for NJ if it works out of state I'm not sure
and its a number for Divison Of Youth and Family Services a 24 hour child hot line
If the number doesnt work in your area look in you local phone book front cover

DVFlyer replied: Thanks, Vig. I kept out of this one on purpose.

CCTandME replied: I'm with loveydad on this one. It's kinda like reading about people who do this stuff and then posting exactly what you read. Sorry, sounds too fishy!!
