Crysta-Ann answered Wednesday January 5 2005, 3:46 pm: Ok, you seem like you have a lot of anger in you, and I can understand that. You sound like you're miserable on the inside. I think that you should contact social services if you want to leave. Take pictures of yourself after the beatings with witnesses to prove that it was actually you. (at least two) Maybe you could secretly tape record conversations that are going to be particularly bad, and then replay it to your parents after they and you have calmed down. (preferably in a calm time, like evening or morning) And no, you DO NOT deserve what is happening to you, call the police again when you have proof of your abuse. If they don't do anything, look into an lawyer. Also, you might want to see if you could live with a relative who lives away from your brother and parents, like aunts, uncles, and grandparents. I know how emotional abuse can be, I found that keeping a journal helped me reflect and clear my thoughts. Another thing that you could do is see a therapist or counselor at school to help you get the help you need. You can get a social worker through your school. Please don't let this go on any longer, you deserve way better. The key is getting it out there and proof. I'm praying for you, and I truly hope that you can get the help you need.

If your parents aren't doing anything about your 18-year-old brother beating you and it's causing you to have a panic attack (which I know isn't fun) you need to tell a counselor at school or someone of authority there. If you are in danger of getting seriously hurt you need to go to someone and do that soon. You don't want to end up seriously hurt.

But before you do you need to tell the cops again (have evidence from the abusing and show it to them) get an itturney and well there you are in court, also tape record some conversations with you and your brother and let him fess up that he smokes pot, and hide a video camera in his room somewhere but let the lenses show, and take it out the next day. You also need to tell your closest friends, and ask them what you should do about it. THEY WILL CARE ABOUT YOU!! [ xObEaChbAbEoX's advice column | Ask xObEaChbAbEoX A Question ]
xO_Chelsea_Ox answered Saturday October 30 2004, 5:24 pm: Well, since the cops aren't do anything, go to the Child Protective Services!!! They will for sure do something!!! And maybe take pictures of the pot that your brother is using and all the bruises from the abuse so you have proof!! I don't know if you can get Student Welfare, but try that though too... I hoped i helped!! :)
