Back when I was 6-7 yrs old, my Uncle use to play around with me a lot, so I was pretty comfortable into hanging out with him. But there were some things he did that was questionable, but as a kid, I didn’t thing it was anything really. When I walked downstairs randomly, I saw my uncle watching TV late at night. He told me to come sleep with him so I saw no problem. After a while later, he then grabbed my hand and said to touch his private part and I didn’t even know what those were as a kid so I did what he said and that was that. I also heard about another story about him with my cousin who seemingly was trying to do the same thing. so a few years ago thinking about those events made me realize how f up that was and how weird my Uncle is.

I am 13 and I hate my parents. My mom is a religious woman. She always talks about me checking my heart or getting my life in check with God. I am not a Christian like her but I can't tell her because she would kill me (not literally). Recently, my mom got mad at me and tried to push down the stairs. My dad came running up and asked whay happened and my mom claimed I was throwing clothe hangers at her, which I never did such thing. My dad always takes her side and I hate it. Another time, I slipped on ice and ran into my dad car door, ACCIDENTALLY slamming his head in it. My dad picked me up by my shirt and slammed me on the car I still have bruises. My parents favrotize my older sister (we will call her Jamie) and my younger sister (we will call her Kelly). Kelly hits me and punches me all the time and even if my parents see it, they y'all at me for starting a fight. Jamie is also religious so they thunk she is perfect. I have an older sister (we will call her Kiara). Kiar is my beat friend. She isn't religious and she isn't a jerk like the rest of my family. My mom HATES kiara because I look up to her. My dad loves er nut because of my mom I don't get to see her very often. I have almost committed because I can't handle my family.
