Student Exchange?

EVIL exchange student?

• So we got this exchange student in August from spain. she has turned my sister into someone i dont even recognize. She screams at me, tells me im worth ****, calls me lazy, says "**** you" all the time (my exchange student) i try to tell my mom, and my mom says she'll talk to them but she never does. other times she tells me to fight my own battles. They make fun of me constantly, tell me im worth nothing, says im lazy and dont do anything to help out. it's not true. ive never felt like this in my life. Im only 14 and idk what to do. I want to call the exchange student coordinator person RIGHT NOW and tell her what my exchange student is doing to me. I cant talk to anyone about it , i cant tell my mom because she doesnt believe most of what i say. Im crying typing this because tonight my exchange student and my sister barged into my room, screamed WE HATE YOU, told me i was probably masturbating because i have no life, and i was lazy. help me, please, who should I talk to, WHAT SHOULD I DO? :( and my mom is always on their side, i have no one to turn to. im a girl btw. okay thanks :(( sorry this was so long...

• Answer:

  since your mom isn't helping you, it's probably best to go directly to the exchange coordinator. it might be helpful if there's a witness who can vouch for you or if you're able to record video or sound of the exchange student when she's doing this. they might be able to move her to a different family or send her home or tell her parents what's happening. you shouldn't be subjected to this kind of treatment in your home.
