Please help me! I'm sad...idk what to do anymore! Advice? I don't know what to do anymore. I'm always so sad. But only when I go home. At school, I have a bazillion friends to talk to and I get to talk to everyone. I get to talk to my teachers and just have fun. When I go home, my mom yells at me and my step-dad...well he calls me names and tells me how worthless and dumb I am. I hate going home. Recently, my mom has started physically hurting me...not badly, just a smack across the face...but I got a bloody nose and a purple eye from it...and my favorite teachers started asking me about it. My spanish teacher has been pestering me about it, but if I tell her I'm afraid she'll tell someone. But I just need to know what to do! Help! I'm afraid she'll hit me again, she's been very mad lately! What should I do? Well, I kind of hinted at my teacher. I don't have any other family...my dad died when I was 5...and the rest of my family I haven't seen in....a REALLY long time. They're all spread around the country. Well, I kind of hinted at my teacher. I don't have any other family...my dad died when I was 5...and the rest of my family I haven't seen in....a REALLY long time. They're all spread around the country. I'm just worried about having to switch schools; my teacher said that if I were to tell her what was happening with me, she would make absolutely sure that I would be taken care of. And that I could continue going to my school, even if it meant having to stay with her. Is that even possible?
