My parents take their aggression TOO far
Okay, so I need advice on how to deal with my parents' extreame aggression.
Here is the thing, I am not a perfect child, and I know I can do wrong sometimes, but sometimes my parents get mad for littlest things. Their way of dealing with situations is not pleasent. Whether I deserve the trouble or not, this is usually their dealing process.
1. Extreamly loud shouting (not bothering to listen to explanation)
2.Hit me/Throw stuff at me (they have punched me, pulled my hair, whipped me with a cord, slapped me, etc. I wouldn't considerit child ABUSE, but rather excessive force.)
3.Threatening to kick me out/police station (I've been taken their, and kicked out of the house on a cold night)
What should I do? I don't know how to deal with their anger rages, and all the hurt...

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
That IS child abuse. You should talk to a counsellor or another adult you trust.

you need to go to someone you trust like a teacher, guidance counselor, or a friend's parent for help. All of the things your parents are doing to you ARE considered child abuse. Hopefully, the person will go to the police and you can get help. Nobody deserves to live with and abusive parent!

Everything you listed is a form of child abuse:
1. Excessive yelling - Mental Abuse
2. Hitting you,throwing stuff at you, punching, pulling hair, whipped with an object, slapping about the face or body. - Child Abuse.
Parents are allowed to discipline a child within reason and would include a hand spanking within reason.
3. Putting you out of the house. Child abuse also Mental abuse.
I know you love your parents and in their own way they you. They may be trying something called tuff love as a form of discipline. Problem with tuff love is it is abusive which makes it illegal.
What can you do to protect yourself. You can call the hotline the other advicer gave you; 1-800-4-a-child. Or in the morning when you go to school you can talk to a trusted teacher or school principal.
If as you have said you are being slapped or punched these have left bruises the teachers may have noticed and wondered about. Your telling them about what is going on at home and how you came by these bruises will help then get you the help and protection you need.
Every state has child protection laws. By telling a teacher they are required by those laws to make the proper notifications that activate the protections within those laws to protect you from abuse.
You can do both. You can call the child protective hotline today and in the morning talk with a teacher and or your school principal.
If as you say you are not the perfect child, you also do not deserve to be abused as you have told us either. So make the call or tell a teacher.
If dad smacks you around before you can do either call 911. Scream help into the phone. Dad may tell them nothing is wrong but they will have to send someone anyway to check. This will include demanding to see who dialed the phone.

Everything you listed if considered forms of child abuse. It's not just "rather excessive force." No parent is allowed to physically harm their child, and that includes your parents. It can be really difficult to define your parents' behavior as abuse because you love them and don't want to believe what they're doing is not only illegal, but immoral. However, you have to acknowledge that your parents are abusing you. After that, you need to get help from an outside source. Call 1-800-4-A-CHILD. This is the child abuse hotline. They can give you better direction on how to deal with the abuse you face at home.

ok. they arent allowed to hit you. tell them that they cannot just hit you (when they are in a good mood) also show your wounds and do some dramatic cryish beg for mercy. then they will realise

- tell someone what they do to you . as much as it may hurt , that is child abuse/neglect . dont let them do this to you any longer . you need to talk to someone that can help you
