I'm 17 years old. I have a brother one year older. He's an alcoholic and drug addict He verbally abuses me he tells me I have an std and sleep with everyone if they gave me a compliment and he says I have an STD, he hopes I learn from it I deserve it .Like he says he calls me a whore but only worse. I've been with guys I don't mean you to get in the middle but I want to move out he's verbally abusive. He says look at her she weighs ten pounds she doesn't eat anything if I tell her she's looks better with gained weight she'll throw up and beat on me. She sleeps with random people and blames everything on me.He says I'm a cheap---- Then he gets drunk and says that's why he's drunk, he told the police that too. That's all he talks about all day. I can't talk to him. He'll call me a slut.He says horrible things low blows anything you can think of. I do it with every guys online, and my brother Tis related to me he has the same parents and he's as old. Then he says if I say this to anyone then its the chicken **** way out and face the truth, he says you only think about guys 24/7 he says she's a nympho and is hyper sexual, no wonder you're bi-polar that's why I'm getting high with bottles of cough syrup 3 feet deep under my mattress.Then drunk driving.

I'm crying. I tell my Mom she says what goes around comes around.

I need help someone pm me.

I've been with guys but hardly done a thing, by that I mean not a lot but what I can only say here.

Dear Lizzy,

You might wan't to get into an alateen or alonon support group. It is a group that are non alcholics that deals with a family member who does drink. Another group you might look into is a support group for people like you that has a family member that uses drugs. As for your mom saying what goes around comes around isn't the right way to be and that she should be giving you support and talking to you about things that a teenager needs to be aware of and know. If you are sleeping around with some guys but not alot it isn't a good idea to be doing that. You should find the right person for you and consider thing's when you are married. You might want to seek getting into councling and talking about what your going through and what you have been through. Verbal abuse is not ok and it does hurt a person. Your brother is alot older then you and he should not be treating you the way he does. You have to remember he is an alcholic and a drug addict and that the thing's he is saying he doesn't realize because of being drunk or high. I think as well when you do turn 18 years old that you should consider moving out and getting away from the abuse and hurt your going through and in the mean time you should think about getting some self esteem in you and start liking yourself and learning to except yourself for who you are and even though it does hurt to have someone put you down the best thing to do is turn around walk away and learn to tell yourself that you are not those things your brother says and if anyone else puts you down you should tell yourself that is their problem not yours and keep right on likeing yourself for who you are. Take it from a person here who is me and I went though being put down and teased all through my highschool and grade school years. it was bad for me being a teenager like you are going through but I had to learn to tell myself I don't care what others think of me I like myself for me and ifyou don't like me it is your problem not mine because I have a kind heart on the inside and it's not the looks it is what is inside me that matters and there are other's that do like me for the way i look and for me. I don't know Lizzy if I am understanding your post here very well or giving good advice to you but If I am making any sense to your post I hope that I have helped you and I hope you will get the help you need. Don't give up in life or yourself. You can find it within your heart to make life better for you. If it takes getting away from your mom and brother when you turn 18 then do it and make your life better for you and your kids if you have them someday.

LIZZY, Your brother is an idiot...ignore him...the more attention you pay to his foolishness the more he will do it. When he starts his tirade...walk away. He needs an audience for his DRAMA...

Lizzy - Sounds to me like your brother is torturing you so that he can disguise the fact that he's a stone alcoholic. He probably figures that people won't notice his flaws if he contantly points out yours. He's obviously got issues, and you're not to blame for them. Like Norma said, ignore him...

If you need to talk, I'm here for you.
