why does my father beat me?

He only hates you a little bit that's all.

you should stop  asking such a question like this because on Y! not a place were you asked some thing like that from people ! your words sound too easy to answer. i know not really true about your dad beat you . no fathers does that to their kids . only thing reason you asked us that because you are alonely child and that your friends has been not  talking to you for a long time. and you dont have anything else to do at home  and your parents had been busy working and paying the bills and ect and they havent been around for you. maybe you should do some thing else to keep you busy  go out and play some sports or go out ride a bike and some thing you can do . instead coming on here and asking a lies question. not first time we see someone asking same question like what you wrote. and you on wrong category page  . this only for people who are singles and are dating someone in relationship.IF you having other problem with your dad or at home then you should at less talk to your family who are adults tell them what really going on with you. if cant then you call the hotline and the police officer to come over your dad house and have little chat talk with him and the polices .but letting you know if you had told them what your dad did and wither he will never did hit and touch or beat you up that everything was all fake and lies then you will end up in big trouble not only yourself include your family and the police officers. and the state law suit take you and your sibles away from your parents . that like putting you on hold and take you to foster care service where they put you to a foster care department then your parents go to jail ,then the police have to set up a reporter about what happen to you . letting you know something that if that really true about your dad did then  you need to go to the court front of your parents and the you have to find a good lawyer to come to the court. not free. cost really alot of money to hire a lawyer .you end up in foster care where you end up living and staying with alot of other kids that doesnt have no family and doesnt have no friends and no own bedroom. have to share with other boys and girls.  living in foster care isnt fun at all. you dont get everything you wanted. you end up in the a foster home with a new foster family .not fun most foster homes has own stricity rules. 

I see you just opened your account. if this is a true question, then speak to the police

You suggest you are being abused and are complaining he loves you so much he would discipline you so to be a better person. But you know everything and want to make him out to be abusive.

The why can be looked into later.

If you are being abused you must report it.

describe "beat me"? 

Did you get a spanking for repeatedly misbehaving or doing something illegal and dangerous that your parents want stopped? Because that is a proper upbringing and not a beating.

I think you are a troll trying to create issues.

I doubt your dad has ever touched you.

I hope this is just a joke if not you need to get away from him abusers are horrible people.

It's okay he is your father,Maybe you have done something wrong 

Your question does not provide much information. If he is indeed beating you which in my mind equates abuse you need to report this. Call  the police, Child Protective Services etc. It does not matter why he is beating you abuse is never justified. I raised three kids on my own and was a strict parent and I never beat my kids. 

Beat you at what?
