I’m being abused, what can I do?
• If you are being sexually, physically or emotionally abused it is very important to get help.
• No-one has the right to treat you badly or make you do anything you feel is wrong.
If you are experiencing abuse within your family, it is really important that you talk to someone. Childline can be a good starting point but if you are in danger ring 999.
What is domestic violence?
• Domestic violence is when someone is treating their husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend abusively.
• This might involve physical violence, sexual violence, or verbal or psychological abuse.
• If this is happening in your home it is serious and it’s important that you talk to someone. Childline can be a good starting point but if you are in danger ring 999.
If you have a question or you are unsure about anything then ask a Talksafe Counsellor or Peer Mentor.

Hey Tasha, finding out what your parents are fighting about is often very difficult as they might consider it to be private. But what I suggest is that, you sit down with them and tell them how the fighting affects you and your siblings. You could also ask your parents how they feel when they fight. Another approach you could take is by talking to a counsellor or a mentor who can give you the necessary advice that can help you.
