My parents are abusive and I have depression. It's a really bad combination. I'm not beaten though, just verbally abused. Although when I was 4 up to age 8, my mom used to beat my sister and I constantly, we don't have any marks to prove it. My dad constantly tells me he wants to smash my head in, says I'm stupid, etc. while my mom has always said I was the devil's child, evil, ugly, an idiot, etc. I wasn't too well-behaved though but that's still not justified is it? I have depression so these words make me feel suicidal at least once a month. While it might be better for me to stay in this house in the long run, it's not good for my mental/emotional health. I can't stay here anymore. Would I be put in foster care or a group home if I told anyone this? I don't ever want to deal with my parents ever again. They say they love me constantly and they do as much as they can for me yet they insult me constantly and are plain out jerks. What do I do? I am currently 15 years old.

You are going to meet all types of people in you working and social life. Some will be nice to you, some will be abusive, most just won't care. While your life at home might not be to your liking, it will teach you to cope with different people in dfferent situations. So take a step back, have a look at the things that happen on a daily basis, and see what you an do to make these situations better - without runnung away.

You also have to look at things from your parent's perspective, because it's not all about you. What pressures are they under? Do they have money worries? Perhas they have work problems. There might be a lot going on that you don't know about. Maybe you can make their lives easier by dong exactly what your parents tell you - don't question or be rude to them, show them respect, do some of the housework, help with the cooking, and show an interest in that they are doing.

All this will make you look outside yourself, appreciate what you do have in life, and help with your depression. Your oarents are not there to make you apot. Happiness comes from inside, and only you can find it, just as only you can find a realistic answer to your depression. And suicide is not the way to do it. It is in fact the most selfish and cowardly act, and you are so much better than that.

Omg you should call child services or if you want to run away you can like take a bus to a shelter or if you have a really great friend you can trust you can run there. Good luck :]

Just call social services, or email them if you have no phone. I know in the UK of cases where social services have arrived in just 5 minutes to help after a call!!! They are there to help you!!! do not be scared to contact them!!!

You have three years to deal with it, then you can move out and put it all behind you.

Good luck.

Connor, please learn the difference between your and you're. They are totally different words with different meanings.
