no
yes
isn't that obvious?
depends really, there are threats and dicipline, then there is child abuse, if she really hurting you??
are you getting left with bruises?? if not shes probably just giving your but an old traditional slapping.
You need to ask..
What you did to make her slap you?
If you dont like it, talk to a student councillor at school and they will help you out. Or try talking to your mum, tell her it hurts you emotionally and physcially when she hits you.
yes
yeah.. i think you need to call the kids helpline... I don't know the number but it's a free call. so you can call on your mobile and not use credit if you don't want your mum to find out. She'll probably go really spaz then.
it could be... maybe you could read up on it a little more and if it fits the information you're finding on child abuse (especially the sections about the effect it has on YOU) then it could be time to do something about it. :)
try taking the quiz on this site -

edit: in the above answer it mentions Kid's Help Line, they're also awesome to talk to about stuff they offer free counselling... anyway. this is to give you the number for it: 1800 55 1800
yes child abuse, talk to your mom, tell her how you feel, if it continues, find somewhere else to live! there's help out there
Yes, no parent should ever kick their child nor should they threaten to discard them like garbage. You should speak with another family member if possible like an aunt, uncle or grandparents. If they are not available then talk with a friend's parents or a teacher.
you need to ask your mom to go to counseling to resolve this and establish a better relationship ..if she will not go to a consular seek it yourself..no one should ever attack you with words or physically..both can hurt and cause lifelong scars perhaps she was treated this way and dose not realize she is repeating a circle
Yes it is abuse because you can resolve situations without getting violent. You are also being mentally abused by her threats and temper. Your long term effects from her behavior will be a lot of emotional damage causing very low self esteem. Respect your mother by not doing wrong things and sit down with her and explain how it makes you feel when she loses her temper and also explain why you have sometimes misbehaved. You both should think together of what should be your punishment for misbehavior. You deserve punishment but in the correct manor for bad behavior.
no it is not child abuse dear... she just wants you to do the right things...afterall parents are the one who teach us how to live...
Take if from a parent, any person that will kick their child is no parent, just some low life scum. Same goes for a person that will threaten to discard their child. As for as the rest, I believe in spanking, there is nothing wrong with giving a few good firm swats to the rear end. I said firm, not hard. If you ever have bruises, then it is child abuse, if you ever feel that she does not love, does not want you, or is going to do harm to you because of something she says then it is child abuse.
The thing is, a lot of good parents are jailed every day, because their child gets mad at them and reports them for abuse when it is just discipline, designed to make the child a better person. So please take the time to calm down, make sure that you are doing the right thing, but if it is abuse make sure you contact a responsible adult as soon as possible. No child should ever have to suffer at the hands of their so called parent. There is nothing that could make me mad enough to kill another human any quicker than a child abuser.
First off, how old are you? No, it isn't okay to kick your child. It's not okay to use spankings or anything like that as a form of punishment past the age of 10. It becomes a way to only humiliate then and will cause your child resent you. She shouldn't slap you either. I don't think making threats to your kid is mature at all. Is your father living there with you? Is there a friend of the family or a relative you could contact and ask for help with your mom? Also, would she take it out on you if you did seek help? You could try family counseling, but shrinks aren't real trustworthy. You could try talking to her, but she doesn't sound incredibly reasonable. I'm sorry. It can be a nightmare when your parents are abusive. I hope things get better soon.
