You don't. If a family member is physically abusing you, you need to get a third party involved ASAP. Whether it's the police, a coworker, a counselor, a teacher, a neighbor, anyone. If it's emotional abuse, some thing. You don't just sit back and deal with it. You need to take action to stop it from continuing to happen.

You should tell someone immediately! It's not good to get abused by anybody, especially by your family.

Tell an adult you trust. Whether it's another family member, a teacher, or a public official. If there is no one that comes to mind, call a professional hotline, and they will tell you what steps to take. Once you recognize that you are being abused, you need to seek help and remove yourself from that situation immediately.

Go report it to an adult; a principle, your parents (if its not them), a guidance counselor, and let them know whats going on.

YIKES! Always talk to a trusted adult in these situations. If you know maybe a trusted teacher, school counselor, your own therapist, aunt/uncle, or even your parents in some cases. I'm sure they would be glad to help, listen, and support you through this hard time! xoxo ~Emily

You can tell someone about it. Or, if you dare, tell the family member that you know it's not okay what they're doing and that you'll take steps against them. If they continue, take those steps. You can tell a parent from a friend, they might be able to help you, or a trust person at your school.

I think the best thing to do is to tell someone. You don't deserve what is happening to you. You deserve better. You deserve to live a happy life: Abuse free.
