Staying at a friends house sounds like a good idea, but you have to remember that your friend is 20 and he can get into trouble letting you stay there without your parents permission.

What your father did is abuse and I don't even want to get into how I feel about that. I want you to be safe and don't want you to do anything that will make him so upset that he would do it again. Remember that going to a friends will help for that day....but you will have to go home again and then what will happen?!! Don't make thinks worse for your self in the long run.

What ever you decide to do....think it out. Ask your self what going to happen later if I do this? Will I get in trouble? Etc.

The weekend is here....so spend the day with a friend, at their house if you can. Have some fun.
