My dad and step-mom ignore me, I was raped, have no friends, I'm stupid and my real mom is dead? Please help?

Honey, it's fine that you're seeking help and that you've told your brother, but you need the advice of a professional who works with victims of rape and child sexual abuse. The main organization is RAINN, and its website is rainn.org. You can call the hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).

You can also call SAFE Horizon at 1-212-227-3000. You will be treated respectfully by people who will try hard to help you. Please put your health and safety first.

Sometimes, reporting the crime hurts the victim as much as the crime itself, but you should make that decision when you have received some counseling and proper advisement. You need to look out for yourself and then worry about others. Your step-brother might be harming other people, so that's something you will need to consider.

I think you should tell your father. You need to have an adult and someone close to you who is on your side and will support you. Don't keep this a secret as it may affect your chances for later happiness.

I'm so sorry to know that this is happening to you and hope that you will find peace and security soon.

Yes darlin, its rape. Your also a minor in some states which makes it child molestation or gross sexual imposition with a minor which is a crime. Your parents relationship ( parent/ step parents) is not apart of the equation here.

Here's what I suggest. Everyone has some form of recording device. You phone may not have the length of recording time required but I know you know someone who has a camera...or maybe you have a web cam...something, anything...you need proof to ensure the situation isn't turned around on you.

After you have the camera hidden and set up just do everything you normally do. You need your evidence. Second after you have the proof you may second guess if you should Use it...the answer is Yes you should.

It's not going to be easy but darlin what's happening to you is wrong and its a crime. Your to young to deal with the situation but After you have your proof keep this in mind when you say no, there is no need to be quiet about it. Bring attention to the situation....make a scene, whatever.

Your step mother will want to deal with it alone..she won't want the police involved and she may be a ***** but after you hold the proof she's got no choice but to ensure it stops or its child endangerment on her behalf...also after you get the proof if you intend to Use it...which yiu should you need to make a copy of it and stash it somewhere that it won't be found. A trusted friend, relative, hell you could secure it in a weather proof box and bury it in a grave yard, stash it in the ceiling tiles where ever but after she knows proof exists she may attempt to destroy it. I wouldn't wait tho....you get the proof you need to use it.

Don't tell either of your parents, unless you can trust your dad to do the right thing and go straight to your school councillor or the police, a teacher....anyone. What's happeing isn't your fault and its not ok. I've told you what to do...I hope you are safe.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
