Take some time to consider whether you and your parents are simply have a rough patch, or if you experiencing abuse. The first step in taking serious action against this abuse is to gain the support of a trusted adult. This might be a teacher at school, your guidance counselor, your therapist, the parent of a close friend, or another relative. Explain to them everything that has happened to you, and ask for their help in stopping the abuse. The adult who is helping you should contact Child Protective Services (CPS). Sit down with your adult helper and generate a list of any and all abuse you have experienced. Include as many specifics (details and dates) as you can. Then find your local CPS office and have your adult go in person (with your list) to submit the report. Do you have another parent or grandparent who could gain custody of you? You may want to talk to them about taking your abusive parent to court. This requires a visit to a lawyer who can assist your parent or grandparent with filing the appropriate paperwork. Be aware that this can take a long time, and you may need to be in contact with your abusive parent during this time. These laws vary from state to state, but in most cases the count will strongly consider the opinions of the child. If you are a teenager and you are supporting yourself financially, you may want to consider legally emancipating yourself. This involves filing a petition for emancipation (at your local Circuit Court), paying a fee ($150-200), and attending a court hearing. Before you pursue emancipation, you must be employed, and you must secure a place to live outside of your parents home (and be able to prove this to the court). Depending on your district, filing for emancipation can usually be done without a lawyer. The emancipation process is much smoother if your parents agree.

Ensure that the circuit for the room you are working in has been flipped off. This will prevent accidental electrocution and reduce the risk of fire. Most circuit breakers are located in the garage or basement, but placement will vary from home to home. When you find the breaker box, locate the breaker that controls the lights for the room you are working on. Flip it to the off position to keep power from traveling down those wires. Most electrical panels label switches for the different rooms in your home. Use a voltage tester to check that power is no longer flowing to that room. This will affect the way that you perform the installation. You can tell if the power is coming into the switch by removing the light switch panel. If two black wires are coming into the switch box, then the power is coming into the switch first. If there is only one black wire, then the power is coming into the switch from the light fixture. You can usually use an electrical tester to be sure. A 3-way switch will not have the words on or off written on it. Before you start installing, take a look at your new 3-way switch to identify all of the terminals that you will be connecting wires to. Traveler wire terminals - These are located on each side of the switch towards the top of the switch. Ground wire terminal - Older switches may not have this, but all new switches must. This is usually a green screw located on the top or bottom of the switch, mounted to the frame. Common wire screw - This is located on the left side of the switch, and is a different color than the two traveler terminals.
