Question: What if no one believes that you are being abused by your boyfriend.

Answer: If you need immediate help, contact the police. Otherwise, you should go to an adult you respect and trust. Tell them what is going on with your boyfriend. Tell your parents or another adult relative. If you do not feel that you can talk to your parents, tell your school counselor or your favorite teacher. You can also call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 11-800-799-7233. Above all, keep telling the adults in your life what is going on until someone listens and helps you.
