If your mother is abusing you, you should immediately speak to your school counselor or a teacher you trust and tell them about your mother is abusing you. They then will do everything to help you. You can also call a domestic violence hotline and ask them for assistance. There are shelters for abused children. You could call a domestic abuse hotline and ask them for help placing you in one. I believe that you can also keep going to school if you are in a shelter for abused children or maybe you would transfer schools. Also, depending on your age (I think if you are 16 or older but I am not sure) you can try to get emancipated. Maybe you can also try to live with another relative. So you should not necessarily change your whole identity, but you should try to get away from your abusive mother by calling a domestic violence hotline or speaking with a school counselor or teacher.
Here are some numbers and links to numbers of domestic violence hotlines in the United States (if that's where you are living):
http://www.ndvh.org/
Child Abuse National Hotline
1-800-252-2873, 1-800-25ABUSE
(http://www.findcounseling.com/journal/ch %26lt;- also has numbers by state
You can probably also call 411 and ask them for a number to a domestic violence hotline if you are in the United StatesHow can a child change their identity?
Grow up!, did i answer your question?How can a child change their identity?
A child getting away from an abusive mother should not have to deal with paperwork like that unless over 18 (but then that's an entirely different story so we can tell you how to transfer colleges).
A social worker should be in charge of everything concerning the child, or the new legal guardian. You should not have to worry about it. More information would help (such as if you really are the one who needs to make the transfers - a school isn't going to listen to a minor about transferring records, so we'd have to figure out a different route for you)
