re: parents
Hello and thanks for contacting the National Runaway Safeline. It sounds like things are tough at home right now with your parents. It seems like you feel overwhelmed by your parents because they are so over protective and that you want to leave because of it. Have you tried talking with them about how you feel? It must be difficult to live in a home where you have no privacy and where you aren’t allowed to do things that you want to do. Is there anyone that you feel supports you?
You mentioned that you feel depressed and that you can’t handle it. One resource that you might find helpful is the National Suicide Hotline. You can call them at 1-800-273-TALK if you ever feel like you want to harm yourself or end your life. Additionally, we are here 24 hours a day at 1-800-RUNAWAY or from 4:30-11:30pm CST via live chat to talk with you more about your situation. We wish you the best and hope you’ll consider calling us.
