My family bullies me. What should i do?

[Lauraa]

Hey, I'm 15 too and I totally understand your situation. I had a terrible relationship with my mom up until last year.. and I wanted to start off by saying that I'll be praying for you. Honestly, my situation doesn't seem to have been as tough as yours is, because my dad and older brother were there for me too. My grandma especially helped me out. But you need to understand how amazing it is for you to have a best friend like that! What she did for you is a HUGE deal. PLEASE never take your own life. Or even self-harm. It's a hard thing to control and stop. Not saying that you do that, just wanted to put that out there though cause I know what it's like.
But for me, the real problem was that my mom was going through menapause which made her bipolarness and anger issues bad. Like, SO bad. She told me similar stuff that you're being told.. and the best advice I have is to stay strong. I know that's probably not all what you were hoping for, but honestly that's the best thing you can do for starts. It's okay not to be okay. I always felt soooo much better when I cried to my friend or brother and told them everything.
Also, something that helped me a LOT is this girl Carrie Shade, who runs a twitter account called @AgainstSuicide. She's SO inspirational and has already saved numerous lives just with her words.

IF you did want to do something bigger about it, you could always go to the police station and tell them the stuff that's happened and if it's considered unsafe for you, they will get social services to take you away and you would live elsewhere.

oh, and sometimes all it takes is one friend. You don't need all the fake ones you "lost", because the truth is, if they left you when you needed them the most, they were never worth having in the first place. If nothing else, ask back and I'll be here for you. I'll give you my contact info if need be.


Good Luck ♥
