Answer

I agree with my colleagues. May I suggest you call the NYC children's hotline 866-505-SAFE (7233). Hopefully someone can get you the help you need. Consider stopping in at a local church to seek help there, if you're more comfortable with that. You have to ask for help to get it. You're young and have your whole life ahead of you. There's no point in being miserable. Best of luck.
