TW!! There are dark themes in this story so please remain cautious
When I was a little girl, life was as simple as
1, 2, 3. That is what I was learning, too. I easily grasped the hardness of counting. Addition and subtraction were next, but although their equations were difficult at first, I carried on without fail.
Then, Multiplication came along. It took me a long while to completely understand that. I still don't get division, though, which, in my opinion, is okay. I am only in grade three after all. Clearly, other students didn't feel the same way as I did, though.
Adam especially thought that it was funny that I still don't Know it. He was always such a jerk to me. This was just icing on the top of the cake.
“Look! It's Amy! The girl who still doesn't know division!”
Everyone would stare and laugh. Third graders don't get the idea of bullying. They just thought that Adam was funny. That was their Thoughts.
Of course mom and dad have no clue about Adam. I hope they don't find out. They'll probably punish me for not even knowing division. Dad was never too kind when it came to me and my brother's grades. Although, Aiden got in all the trouble with that. I got all the warnings while he got all the spankings
Mom makes me leave the room, but I hear it. I know dad is hurting him because I hear it. Aiden later runs up to his room and slams the door. He never wants to play with me after that. He never wants to play anymore. Mom says teenagers are just like that.
———
Today wasn't different from any other day. Adam was mean, my class laughed at me. The teacher didn't do anything to help me. No one ever helps me. I feel so sad when no one helps.
In La we learned about syllables. Not the easy ones though, the more difficult ones like comp-li-cate-ed. That's what division Is. Complicated. I'm gonna try and write in bigger words from now on.
Aiden told me today that he wants To Leave now. He hates mom and dad and he wants to go somewhere with his friends. He said he's almost 18 and when he leaves, he'll try and take me with him. I'm not sure mom and dad would let him take me though. But its not like mom and dad are mean to me. He told Me to be careful around them. I don't know what he means.
I heard yelling from Aiden's room. Mom must've told dad what I said. Now Aiden is mad at me and says he won't come for me now. He wants me to suffer. What does he mean?
———
Aiden left today. Dad is mad and has been walking around the house all day. He punched a wall, too. Mom looks mad too. Is this because of me?
Ella, my friend told me that isn't good for me. She has been the smart one and has had expirience in this. She said something about a word. Abuse? I don't know what she means though. Why can't I understand anything anyone says? Does this mean I’m dumb?
———
I didn't eat breakfast today. Mom wasn't awake. Dad said she got drunk and went to bed for a long time. He didn't cook anything for me and kept asking me about Aiden. I don't know what he was talking about. He called him a prick and an asshole. I don't know what that means but he didn't seem very happy when He did say it.
Ella is telling me to tell the teacher, but I don't Want to get hurt like Aiden did. I wonder where he is right now.
Adam hit me today. He pushed me and my head hit the wall. That's what Ella said. She took me to the nurse. She said it was a whole scene. I don't want to make a scene.
Mom and dad asked about the cuncushion I had today. I wanted to go to bed and fell Asleep on the floor. I didn't know I could be so tired.
———
Mom and dad are comparing me and Aiden. They said I was the more obeydient child. I don't know what that means. Is Aiden meaner then me?
———
I don't like this anymore. Dad hit me. I'm not a good child anymore. They found out I don't know division. I'm scared. I should have listened to Ella.
———
I give up. I won't ever be able to learn division. No one helps me. They hurt me. I dont want to be obeydient anymore. I want to go to sleep And never wake up.

Aiden contacted me. I turn 10 tomorrow, but is it worth it? If I can't be a good child then what's the point of being 10. Nothing will change. Adam still picks on me. My parents hurt my feelings and hit me. I want to leave.
———
Dear mom and dad,
I turn 10 tomorrow, but I don't want to grow up. You hurt Aiden when he grew up and you did hurt me too. I want to leave. I don't want to be Here anymore. I searched it up and if you take a handful of pills unprescribed then you could pass out and potentially die. Honestly, that might be better then turning 10. I can't be the perfect girl you used to have. I don't wanna turn 10 anymore.
Ps. I learned how to divide
love, Amy

AN: I decided to write this story and share it to give my take on child abuse (especially those who are below the age of ten and older then 10 but younger than 18). Personally, I myself have not been abused but unfortunately it is a very real thing that happens. This is a fictitious story but inspired by true events that have no doubt happened to someone. Also, I've been working on my 'voices' so a lot of these sentences aren't going to be correct and/or are mispelled. that is INTENTIONAL. I am using the voice of a 9 year old so ofc there are going to be spelling errors. in all seriousness, I hope you like this story (writing style not the actual topic) and lmk your take on this very REAL topic. and if you are a victim or a witness pls try and break free. and please take action. This is a sad thing that happens to children. please we need to take care of them <3
