    Let me take a swing at this.

    You cannot move in with your sister unless your parents - both of them - give you legal, written permission to do so.

    There is no other way for you to move. None. No matter how much you want it. No matter how much SHE wants it. No matter.

    There is no loophole. Police officers take an oath to uphold the legal code to which they are entrusted. They will not just walk away from a home with a runaway in it.

    If you are lucky, the police won't be at your sister's house before you get there. It's not like everyone and the dog doesn't know where you are going.

    Deciding to run away anywhere else will bring you a life as a victim. Of robbery, rape, drugs and prostitution. Predators WAIT AT THE BUS STATION looking for young female runaways.

    These predators will buy you a meal. Maybe some clothes. Get you to care for them. And then they will rent out your sexual services by the minute.

    Call the DSS. Get help. It is your only option. Call them until they listen. Tell your guidance counsel or school. Tell your pastor or priest.

    All can help. That is all you can do.

    I know about the people at the bus station my sister told me and she aslo said don't talk to anyone on the bus except for the bus driver and I knew that already. I know that I've called them and they just give me the number to the county DSS and they already are on my moms side because she sweet talked them. I don't go to school, I don't have a guidence counseler and the priest at our church is like best friends with my mom. Also I had been e-mailing a teacher for like a month and she was the one calling all the time telling the DSS about what was going on. So I've been through that whole prosses and they just came to the house and talked to use. No one can do anything with this DSS place in South Dakota they're not that great to work with.

    Love,

    Keep calling.

    I have to say this since everyone else hasn't. Is there any possibility that you are making too much of this?

    Yes, you were treated badly. However, the behavior stopped. Sometimes, even parents make mistakes.

    However, if no one but you thinks you are being abused, maybe everyone but you is correct.

    I'm not making to much of it I think because she still will emotionally abuse me. And the reason she stopped was cause she was scared. And I'm still not getting an education at all. Everyone else agrees with me like family and friends. I just wish and hope that things could change and that I would feel safe in my own home but since that's not happening I think I should go and live with my sister.

    Wait.

    Are you saying you THINK she will emotionally abuse you? Not only is EVERY teenager thinking that they are emotionally abused by their parents, but I think it isn't even happening yet.

    What is really going on?

    No she DOES emotionally abuse me she calls me a "bitch" and "stupid" and she says how she dis likes me. I'm NOT making this up at all. It's happened to all of my brothers and sisters and they all left home around my age.

    And what do you say to her?

    Do you ever tell her how much you hate her and how you wish you had never been born? How much you wish she wasn't your mother?

    I ain't Dr. Phil. I am just saying that all teenagers fight with their parents. Granted, some fights are healther than others, but all teenagers fight.

    I don't say anything back useally. Sometimes I do say that she shouldn't call me stupid and I have told her that I wish God didn't give me to her. But seriously how would want a mom like that?? Yes I know that they do but this stuff doesn't happen to ANY of my other friends.

    They are lying.

    All parents and teenagers fight. Goes with the territory.

    No judge is going to emancipate you because you and your mother scream at each other.

    No I wasn't saying that. But none of my other friends are called stupid and their parents don't hit them. But yes I know they fight with their parents. And I'm not planning on getting emancipated anymore. I think I'm just gonna have to to keep calling DSS even tho I know they won't do a thing.

    Love,
    Maddy
