Search Results: meeting the parents

My parents have always been mean to me and are disrespectful. They are so mean that I honestly hate talking to them. Recently I turned 18 and stayed afterschool for a club meeting and got in trouble for doing that. I was physically abused and was told that whatever the rules in the house were, I had to follow. But that doesn't give them the right to talk to me any kind of way and physically abuse me. Today they did it again. I am legally an adult, and they feel they can still hit me, should I call the police or move out? There is a lot of things they do that is horrible and they dont let me act my age. They prevent me from having fun.

CULT: A relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.

I know of a girl who was in one in Canada. She was about 16. Her parents sent her to California to escape the cult.

One of the cultists was an assassin.

She joined a church and was at a large youth group all night meeting and stepped outside in the fog for a breather right at midnight. She was shot in the back of the head by the sniper with a.22 rifle and instantly died... I AM NOT KIDDING!
