Hey Jerry, Instead of crying yourself to sleep at night, take action, I read a book called A Child Called It, and it shows how this mom abuses her kid and she has other kids but treats them way better, so don't just stand there and take the abuse, tak action. SINCERLY, TAMARA

Hello, I was just wonering what steps I would have to take to get emancipated from my parents?! My mom verbally abuses me, she doesnt treat me the same way she does my other 4 brothers. My mom and dad both want to put me on birth control because they said i was going around being a whore/slut, even though i am not and havent ever been sexually active! This really hurts me i would like to be emancipated. Please send me the rules and regulations and whatever i need to do to do so. Thanks so much, Ashley

They won't let me get a job, or start studying for my GED. They tell me I'm not ready for any of that. I never made it to high school!!
