[Unregistered]

Hello my name is Isabelle and i'm 13 years old I live in FL.
My family tend to not include me in family stuff.
My sister brings down my Confidence.
My little sister makes me feel bad about my self.
My Step-Dad makes me clean ALL THE TIME.
My mom is paying attention to my older sister and little sister.
I know this may not seem like a lot but little things do add up. And that's exactly what it's doing.
I'm So depressed I wanna stop eating.
I thought about running away and sleeping on the roof tops.
I could get away with it. I Just feel like I don't belong in my house. I feel worthless to what my life is about.
I Do very much wish I could runaway and explore the world.
But i'm scared to won't have the balls to do it. and plus I would not know how to make money so I can save up.
I wanna leave as soon as possible and hopefully I do.
Plus I find education worthless and a waste of time.

Hi

Thanks for contacting the National Runaway Safeline. We are sorry to hear about the things that you are experiencing. It sounds like you feel isolated from family activities which seem terrible. It sounds like you do not get along with any of your family members which sound like a difficult and lonely experience. You mentioned that you would like to runaway but is afraid and do not have the funds to do so. Running away can be a scary and difficult decision. Have you and your family ever been to counseling? Family counseling can help address some of the issues that are taking place within the home and affecting you. There are also youth shelters that can provide refuge to youth who feel that they need to get away from their house. Youth shelters can provide emergency housing as well counseling services to both the youth and their family. If you are in need of somewhere safe to go, please give us a call at 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929) and we can assist with trying to find the closest safe place.
