Are you sure? From what you've been posting the last few weeks, it seems that you're not exactly living under great conditions.

uh ash
can i ask something
i dont know would throwing a child on the floor/pushing a child, then proceeding to hit a child several times be considered physical harm
like this stopped months ago after i called him an ignorant asshole a ton of times
but still
i still want to know

are you effing serious


it stopped at least

O__O

Yes, Lily, that would very much be considered physical harm. Especially if said child received bruises and/or scratch marks during it. But, even if this child didn't bare any visible marks, that would still be considered emotional trauma, and that's certainly not something adults have the right to inflict upon people, including their children. It doesn't matter if the child called the adult a name and that caused the adult to hit the child, that's battery any way you look at it. BESIDES, the adult should have the self-control not to physically lash out at someone when angered.

*hugs you* ;w;

ah eff.

thanks.

Serious déjà vu when I watched a dad slap his kid on television for taking drugs...O_o 'twas a television programme.

Good. ^_^ The first step to change is always making up your mind to make it.

Just remember that your KP family loves you, as do your in-person friends, and your actual family, and we're all rooting for you. Okay? <:^J Don't listen to other people when they talk like that, ESPECIALLY those who try to brand you as one thing or another.

Maybe try to get into vent art...? Music can also help. I find that it's good to listen to music in three steps: (1) Listen to some songs that describe how you feel. This helps you accept your emotions. (2) Listen to some empowering/look-at-me-i'm-awesome songs. This will help you build up your self-esteem and aid you in getting over what's bothering you. And then (3) listen to happier, more carefree songs, or whatever songs will make you feel how you want to feel (confident, happy, calm, etc.). ^_^

Whenever I think about kids and parents reacting to drug use, I think of this....
