Well, im actually a 16 year old girl and im looking for help...my story is actually about my mom. I honestly wish people made a site like this for kids or teens. Anyways... my mom is about 36 years old and has noooo idea how to take care of her own 4 kids!

My brother is 12 his name is garett and my little sister hayden is 11 and i have a twin sister named kayleigh. We ALL get treated differently...im sick of it! She favors the little ones more that my sister and i.

i screwed up a lot in my life, i will admit. but it doesnt mean my mom has to treat my us like crap all the time. i feel like she just gave up on us. it hurts to know she doesnt care anymore. honestly...i THOUGHT i was a good daughter. helping my mom around the house, cleaning, picking up constanly...always trying to impress her all the time.

Well one day..i decided not to. my little brother and sister ALWAYS leave their stuff around for me to pick up. so that night, the house was not dirty but a little messy...then, my friend was over at 9...my friend actually isnt suppose to be over because her mom always calls the cops for noooo reason!

so my mom was scared she would go to jail. but i KNEW she wouldnt call! that was only if my friend ran away..and she didnt so i THOUGHT it was okay for her to come over. i know i should of thought twice, but i didnt really care at the time...then, my sister hayden took out the towels that were still drying and put them in a basket..(while still wet). it was kayleighs job to do the laundry but hayden took it out for some odd reason. oh then, we were about 30 mins late so it was about 830...

my mom gets home at 9 so i went out to get panda express. my mom doesnt cook anymore so i decided to go get something. my brother then told on my sister and i, and later that night...my mom asked for my phone, i gave it to her. but she asked my sister and she didnt...she started to mouth off.

ohhhh thenn wow! my mom started to push and hit my sister..i dont care if its open hand or not, i still think its unexceptable! so i jumped up and told her to STOP!!!! i pushed her back then she hit me and gave me a black eye. :,(

i was pretty upset then....so i started to defend myself and so i hit her back. we fought for a while. she then left the room and came back for more because my sister and i were pissed and needed to say something hurtful so i did, she came back and started to hit me some more...so i got scratches all down my neck.

after the third time coming in...we left and ran out of the house! i couldnt take another hit. so my siste kayleigh called her bf and had him come pick us up.

i called the cops that night and told them EVERYTHING. they took pictures of me...then i thought OMG this is a BAD idea! i knew i shouldnt of called them but i was scared...i didnt want to go back home. you know? soo then they arrrested my mom called my grandma and took us away.

now, im stuck here at my aunts house...they wont let me see my bf or my friends...AT ALL! im jailed in my family's house. they said this is my punishment beacuse i didnt call family instead of the cops....then later they gave me another excuse...that im being rude?

of course im going to be rude and pissed!!! they took everything away from me!!!!! i dont have a life now...i think about awful things all the time. i just want to know....all you moms out there...would you still love your teenage daughter even tho she put you in jail?
