Really want to run away

well how old are you

its not so bad

I think we all feel like that at times. Hang in there.

seriously, about how old are you? i mean any age can want to run away but some ages are more at risk when they do so.

If you're older than 16 the laws where you are probably can't make you stay in school, but if you're not yet 18 and you decide to leave, your parents could involve police to look for you and classify you as a "run away".

When the authorities would find you, you could end up in Juvenile Hall which, for many, is the beginning of their own personal road to prison.

If I were you, I would do the following instead.

I would decide what I want to do for a living and where I would like to live and then I would use the rest of the time you have before you turn 18 to prepare to work in your chosen industry.

In the meantime, don't feel trapped, feel empowered and fortunate.

Use your parents support right now to get yourself positioned for a successful transition from living under their roof to living under a roof of your choice.

Get a part-time job, save your money, stay in school (at least for now), do your research about where to go and when, and plan everything out so when you do leave, your move will be a positive experience.

Good luck to you and may God bless you.

This is the perfect reason for you to make sure you excel in school, get the best education and training you possibly can,so you can become a successful, independent person and then you won't be dependent upon your family anymore.
From the time I was a little kid, I didn't like having anyone tell me what to do, so at an early age, I decided to get an education, finished college by age 20, have been independent ever since. Gotta become independent, or you'll resent people for the rest of your life.

I hope you find peace OP



Thinking of you

You see, all families are dysfunctional from someone's perspective. It's part of living. Gotta put up with them until you can become financially independent. This family situation won't last forever. But no matter where you go or what you do, there will be problems. Learn to solve them.

typical young peoples attitude these days go pay own way then good luck

contact - how are you doing?

OP, if your family is abusive, then think of them as a means to an end. Your goal is to do well in school and go off to college. Once you put some distance between you and them, your stress level will decrease.

Do not accept financial assistance from your family while at college. Do it all yourself, even if it means taking out student loans (be sure to choose a good major with future job prospects.)

If your family reaches out to you, tough. You are now an independent adult. If they ever try to guilt you into seeing them, be firm and direct that you want no contact.

Through the years, you may find others who try to guilt you into seeing them, saying things like "but she is your mother!". Tell those people to go spend time with their own beloved mothers, not everyone has a wonderful family life and you are doing what is best for you.

Vicarious rant /over.

depends on your age. you seem like your young somewhere between the ages of 12-14. if that's the case your family just has your best interest at heart. be happy you have a bed to sleep in, food to eat and a family who truly cares. there are a lot of kids who have a real reason to run from home you seem like you don't.

Appears you already have hit and run poster.

Above most we must respect those that gave us life.


Things we encounter are for us to learn from.


When faced with a negativity, identify it so as to not let it continue to happen in your life. The things you hate most in them are the things that perhaps should not go forward.


Know no matter how alone you feel, you can always cry out in your anguish to God, he hears the cry's of all. He has a plan.
