I'm a 14 year old girl in high school and believe I'm abused. I'm pretty sure that even though a child starts the argument an adult is supposed to act calmly and not resort to violence. Am I right or wrong? I'm in a "support group" at my school and I indirectly told my counselor that my parents hit me. They also emotionally abuse me. And my brother, don't even get me started with him. He plainly adores the military (hes my fraternal twin brother) and he keeps calling me a "stupid ho" or whore and says that he can "beat the shit out of me and I wouldnt be able to do anything but cry".. He calls me cry girl. And keeps reminding me of when he beats me up and how I cried. But I of course, being my rebellious self, always fight back physically. So back to my point, I told my counselor I have bruises..she asked me if I wanted to show the nurse..and i said no. What might she do at this point? What do guidance counselors do in these situations? Do they have to remain confidential in abusive moments? Any advice would be great.
I just feel as if my life is completely pointless. I feel like our family is a bunch of hypocrites, because we go to church but then at home abuse happens even on sundays sometimes. Add this pain to school..i can barely make a friend because im always so depressed
