    i feel awful at home..

     

    hi, i'm 11 years old and my problems are all started at home, with my parents.

    whenever i do something wrong, my parents smack me and hurt me, and i feel awful about it but dont know what to do. sometimes they do things to me that hurt so badly ive thought of suicide, including phisical AND mental. i can't describe it, because when i'm at school i feel really happy and normal around all my friends, so its a friday evening and im happy from school right now.

    i'm sorry i really dont know how to describe it.. i only seem to know what to say when its actually happening, and in those times i dont have acess to childline or the internet, because i'm not allowed, of course.

    i really want to let all of my feelings out and tell someone how i feel, and i need advice, but i cant..

    I seriously understand what you must be going through with your parents.. that stuff happens to me. Luckily for you, I bet you have amazing friends who I'm sure would also understand. Perhaps you should try talking to one of them? You say you feel happy around them, perhaps they can help. :3 xx

    btw, if you ever want to talk to me feel free to just ask! xo I know what you're going through. c: stay strong.
