    i always pray to God for children that are being abusive. Kristen be glad and happy for the life you have and that you have the chance to grow up in a good family. many of these kids dont have that and just looking at them makes me cry because im so glad i have a home i will pray to god for you. Jonath God does things we dont always understand. He took my grand parent away when i was really young. and for weeks i askes him WHY?! he was such a great example of a christian. and many times we dont understand why but all we can do is pray more.

    its amazing how much im seeing the signs about sexual, physical abuse. when i was little i thought we were the only one.it makes me upset though. we tried to do something about it and NO ONE not even the social services could help me. they came right to my door and talked to me but i was too scared to speak up, wouldnt you think they’d ever come back to check up or speak with the care givers..no. til this day i hear of this man. lived with him for years after i got strong enough to defend myself.had no choice because my mom didnt believe us..or just denial. thats hard to live with…but we try to keep our head up and know that we have other family that will treat us just like there own. thank God for the ones who have a heart

  14. brandi Says:

    my name is brandi and i am a mother of a six year old girl who means the world to me and it scares and upsets me to think that thier are people out there abusing kids or killing them. i guess what i’m trying to say is cutting yourself may mke you feel good for the moment or it may not but the fact is your only hurting yourself. i had a friend who cut herself due to abuse and rape by her father and brother and we all tried to help her but she cut to deep and died she was only 16 years old. maybe you should see if there are any support groups or someone you can talk to.. sometimes talking helps find a friend or a family member you can trust to talk to good luck and best wishes to you

  16. Carter Says:

    Sometimes i feel like m mother abuses me. when she is in a bad mood she will slap me call me a bitch and a whore. Once she pushed me down the stairs and i cracked my head open and broke my leg. I had to tell the hospital that i got into a biking accident. I love my mom considering she gave me my life, but i scares me that it would be so easy for her to take it away. She says she wishes that she could punch my head off my shoulders but it would take too much energy so shell do it tomrrow. I love my life and she hasn’t done anything like this in a month or so, but i still see little flares in her attitude. I don’t understand what i am doing wrong to make her act this way. I don’t cut myself or anything, but sometimes i burn myself.

    This is one of the sadest websites i have ever read! I am a 18 year old senior attending a high school in california. I live in the suberbs. But i have seen people get away with so much stuff because they are rich! They can rape a girl and pay their way out of the assult. Girl what you need to do is tell someone immidetly they can do test to prove it. If you do it fast enough. You have to make sure they test you for all the STD’s in the world! Just to make sure you havent gotten any.If you dont want to tell your parents you can tell you Guidance Councler, or your best friend. No one likes to scare their parents like that!
    Be safe. Never walk alone. Never go out in the dark alone. Always carry mase around you. And if someone comes up to you and tells you not to scream. Scream as loud as you possibly can. Someone will hear you..and find you eveuntually.

  19. Lauren Jones Says:

    I’ve been abused my whole life. Everything is a nightmare… It’s not so much physical abuse anymore but it’s emotional and mental… As long as I can remember I’ve felt this pain. I was 7 and tried killing myself. Now I’m 18 and get the constant threat of getting kicked out. There are no jobs where I live. I used to have 2 jobs but it wasn’t good enough they wanted me to get another one. On my days off or free time I have to babysit, do chores cook. And I made more money them my mom and I was paying well over 75% of all the bills when I was 16. They’d use their money on stupid items like brand new tv’s for the little kids and I’d get nothing. I’ve been paying rent since I was 16 and I still don’t have a room. I sleep on the couch and when it gets really bad I’m forced to sleep in the tub or get kicked out in 13 degree F weather. Last time they did that I got pneumonia. I get my self esteem beat down 24-7. Step dad says I’m a nobody and a fat hippo (his daughter weighs 469 lbs I don’t even weigh half that) My mom calls me a whore my little 10 yr old brother calls me a whore, retard, bitch, cunt, hoe, and slut. My little sister doesn’t listen and screams in my ear when I tell her no. Just the other day my little sister wouldn’t let me out the door so yeah I grabbed her and moved her. She lied saying I punched her and they called the cops on me. They were watching the whole thing too. I really do hate my life with a burning passion. I wish it would all go away… Every time I go to sleep I dream of a place that’s happy… When I wake up I realize my nightmare has started over again… I only get about 2 hrs of sleep or less… Find me on FB.

    I have been through child abuse at the age of two to 8 years. You will feel disgusted with yourself ,guilty for letting it happen and wonder why you didn’t do anything to prevent it or to change it. But know one thing, it WASN’T your fault. The person who abused you, most of the time is someone you know, you and your family put your trust in them and that broke down your guards, when the situation happens, you freeze and become numb.. your confused. Look back, and realize it was never your fault. Look forward and know your self worth.

  25. john Says:

    I am now 40 yrs old. I was physically, mentally, and in my mind sexually abused from when I was 5 years old til,around 16, l finally dropped out of High School as I felt I had no other choice. (big regret) My mother mentally abused me so much as she has a anger problem. My step father was physically and verbally abusive. I was sexually abused by a friend. when i was around 7 years old I crashed my bike and chipped my front teeth and he was right there and all he did was laugh…
    my step dad and I hated each other, It got so bad My Grandma stepped in and made me come live with her, I missed my mom so much though…I kept wanting to go back, maybe because i felt abused all the time, That thats what I thought love was…or any attention good or bad, it was love. I have held on to all of this for 35 years now and finally started talking about it and getting help!

    my point to all of this is if you feeling you are being phyically,mentally,verbally or sexually abused tell someone and talk about it…go get help, if you dont, you will carry the burden around forever and it is not healthy, it will effect you from moving forward in a positive direction for the rest of your life and it is not fair, nor is it your fault.

    Just because your parents and there friends or ur friends and family have a hard life then they shouldn’t eff up there child’s life…if you don’t want children then don’t have rum there are always other options like, adoption. My name is Cassie I was not a abused to child and still ain’t, me and my parents do fostr care and you would be surprised how many children are left to die are beaten and neglected, or some parents just give there kids away to strangers… I feel bad for all you people that have been hurt by a family member or someone close to you….it makes me sick to here about all of this….why do people do his is It because there hurt or they were abused hut I bet you if they were abused they didn’t like it and there hurting inside with all that negative energy, or maybe they are so used to growing up like hat hey want you to grow up like them…..if you have a Facebook account I suggest we put stop child abuse on our page and post for everyone to see.. Stop child abuse for the innocent little kids repost if u agree…ty

  27. Kim Mitchell Says:

    I am a social worker. I want to apologize in behalf of our screwed up foster care system that does very little to protect and heal our children. I am sorry for the trash bags we provide for you to put your precious belongings into when we come into your homes and “rescue you” only to put you into some crappy group home or with a strange family with rules and routines you are unfamiliar with. I know you are scared and angry. None of it, NONE OF IT IS EVER YOUR FAULT!!! I am sorry for our pitiful judicial system that seems to give your abusive parents more rights than you have. Some rays of hope: there ARE people, many social workers and lawyers who REALLY want to help you- it’s just the system that makes it sometimes hard for them to make it happen right away. Like finding you an adoptive family, or a foster care family that works for you. Be your own best friend and always TELL your social worker and lawyer what you want and what you need!! You have to fight AGAINST what your family made you feel: that you are worthless and have no meaning… THIS IS A LIE. Get those unkind voices out of your head! Be your own best friend and join hands with your lawyers and social workers. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I know because I found it myself!!!

    I am sorry to hear about all of your stories. I wish I could make you all feel better and I wish you would never had to deal with vulgar and abuse they put you through. I am 18 Years old and have never been abused to I dont know what its like. I am doing my paper on child abuse & Parent abuse. The child abuse seems to over run the parent abuse by the teenage child. If I could interveiw some of you you can email me at Tessahoney@hotmail.com. If you cannot then i understand and wish you the best of luck and all the love in the world!

    When I was a child I was abused and neglected. My message to everyone who knows what its like is that you CAN change your life. DONT live in your past, only learn from it. Only look forward, never backwards. And be sucessful in life because I am now. Life is short so have a good one. :)

  30. Rose Says:

    when you are abused you feel ashamed, sad, depressed, but most of all scared, even when their not around you your heart is always pounding. Sweating, and crying. You feel lost wanting to find a new world but all that surrounds you is crutelty, and darkness. At night you softnely cry in to your pillow. And you soothe your self by whispering quitely nice things. Pretty things. I hope this helped for your report i have been doing research too.

    I’m writting a book, and my main character ahs a past of Sexual Child abuse. If anyone feels comfortable in helping me with my characterization, please e-mail me, it would be greatly appreciated. my mother suffered from sexual abuse from her father when she was my age, but i’m not ready to hear that part of her life, and share her tears yet, maybe when i’m older. with all that she’s gone through for the past couple of weeks i wouldn’t want to bring more stress to her life right now.

    i am just here for the needs of others. though i haven’t been exposed to physical abuse, i do believe everyone during their lifetime goes through a mental and emotional abuse from not only their families but peers; if you are going to physical mental or emotional abuse anywhere, you need to tell for YOUR safety. you shouldn’t worry about your mom getting into trouble, or your dad, or your alcoholic step dad…or WHOever. if its going on at school, stand for something and tell an adult. there is no need for abuse to go on during school. you have to be strong for yourself and do the right thing, tell someone. people will reach out to you. i know i may just be rambling on about stuff that people think noone knows what your going through, but a lot of us do. reach out for yourself, and others.

  34. JoAnn Rodriguez Matos Says:

    I am a survivor of child abuse, my siblings and I were tortured from a very young age until we were teenagers by our evil stepmothers. My father was very abusive also but most of all, he allowed his wives to abuse us. I have written a book as a survivor in an effort to give a voice to the 5 children in my story who were silenced with a threat of more physical torture of they told anyone what was happening to them. I have suffered from the vivid memories of the past all of my life and it has caused a lifetime of painful repercussions. I want to bring the person responsible for our abuse to justice. Please help me on my quest to bring our abuser to answer to her crimes. My book is titled “Hot Peas and Butter The Children in the Basement.” The crimes committed against my siblings and I are tragic but more tragic is that our abuser got away with it. Please visit Facebook.com and search Hot Peas and Butter The Children in the Basement and purchase your copy of this story that tells the name and location of our abuser. Thank you for your support.

    The thing is that people think it’s okay to physicaly discipline children to a point. But who’s the one that determines where the point lies? A reaction of violence is only caused by anger. you don’t need to hit or spank your children. ‘spanking’ is where it starts.

    It was 9 years ago that my uncle molested me. at first i tried to tell myself to get over it, it was one time, the truth is, it took a huge part of my life. i would love to have it back and know who i would have been if it would have never happened, but i cant. i have wanted to disapear many times but cannot because it would hurt the peeople who love me but the pain is getting to be to much. i never asked for it, i did not make that choice but yet i am the one to have to suffer through all the pain, i ask God why, and he hasnt answered yet but i no someday he will. but i hope it isn’t to late.

  38. Angela Says:

    I am an 18 year old girl, physically and emotionally abused. No one would know though, because I hid it so well. When I was young, I don’t remember any good memories only horrible ones. Memories of me being hit, slapped, or when I cried my mom would tell my dad to slap me on my mouth to shut me up. They never really cared. My family has always been kept away from me. My mom calls them ‘the devils’ and says that if we talk to them we are devils too. To this day I dont know half of my family from my mom’s side. My dads side has been off/on. I rememeber when I was small my mom getting out of the car, hitting my dad saying that if my dad dosn’t speak to them no more, shes leaving us. (My dads afraid of a divorce). Ive been slapped, smacked, had my hair pulled, beaten with a stick, punched, stepped on. No bruces though, they know what their doing. Just temporary pain.

    But all that is nothing, the emotional pain is ALOT worse. Im called everything you can think of. My parents are foreign so, they speak in a different language. But the stuff they say hurts! I watch things on TV, like how moms are suppose to be. I wish I could be like that, and feel that. I want to feel loved and cared for. I pray that almost each and every night. I cry myself to sleep asking for just a little love, or for God to send an angel to hold my hand to confort me, just so I can sleep. I have no adults in my life who can help. My familly knows already and have seen the scenes happen over and over again.

    Now that im older the physical abuse has lightened up, but the emotional is stronger then ever. Im still praying and still hoping for someone to love me.

    To all those who have someone in your life who you can hold and love and cheerish, be grateful! Your the lucky ones. You have something to look forward to in the morning. I sleep with ear plugs, study non stop with earplugs, and dream of silence in my house.

    Precious children of God, I am so very sorry for what has happened to you. This world has evil people in it. Turn to God through Jesus Christ and call on His name and He will help you. It’s not His fault and He loves you so very much. We are in a sinful world and people do horrific things. But God can help and get you throughit all. The devil intends to destroy you and what you can become. I will be praying for all of you and I hope you can turn to God for help and salvation.

    You are loved by your creator who hates what his creations do to each other. You were made for this time and age to use the special gifts he gave you for His purpose. You are special and wonderful no matter what anyone says. You are beautiful, priceless, and a jewel. Don’t give up!
