You do not deserve to get hurt. No one does. So talk to an adult you trust.. or call a hotline like this one 1-800-422-4453

you need to talk to a teacher or another adult you trust and right away. there is no excuse for you fathers behaior. you need to be strong and do what you need to do for yourself. It will make your life a whole lot better if you do. tell the adult that your scared and you want then to take you to the police to speak with an officer. open up and tell the officer everything. even the smallest details. try it good luck

That's child abuse sweetie...and it needs to stop.
You say the department of human services won't do anything? I bet if you walked in there, and showed them your bruises, and expressed your pain, they would do something.
What does your mom do through all of this? I'm sure she's aware...maybe she's being abused as well? Even if she is, that's still no excuse to let him abuse you. I just got thinking that maybe your parent's aren't together? Could you go and live with your mom?
Whatever you decide to do, just remember that your dad has NO RIGHT to lay his hands on you in anger or abuse. You have the power to stop him, and take your life into your own hands. You're not a helpless child.
There are people out there that can help you. If human services won't, then go to the police, a teacher, anybody that can help you.
Take care, and know that you deserve to be loved, not hurt!!

I know it will be hard to leave your family, your friends and everything but think of the outcomes that will happen if you don't leave. You've been put through enough and one day your father might just snap and if he hits you hard enough in the head, you could die.
Google child abuse and find a number you can call. They will do something about it. I don't know who you've been calling, but if you told someone about what was going on and they didn't do anything, then they must be really f***** up.
You said you don't want to live anywhere else. Trust me you would. Wouldn't it be nicer to live with a nice family who cares about you and doesn't hit you? I'm sure you would. And when you get help, every once in a while they let you see your family. So you can see your family without the pain. Doesn't that sound better?
Call the police now. It's really your only choice. Child abuse is serious and the longer you wait, the more harm you are doing to yourself. You don't deserve to live like that.
