Re: i cant be here at my house
Hello there,
We’re glad that you are reaching out for help from us here at the National Runaway Safeline. It seems like there are a lot of people in your home and it’s understandable how frustrating that must be. It also seems like all the noise and distractions are making it challenging for you to do your homework and study. Your mom and your sister especially, don’t sound very supportive of the things you want to do after school. We want to point out that it is not okay for your mom to hit you. You don’t deserve that.
We care about your safety. If you were to leave home, we are here to talk to you about how you can do so in the safest way. Home should be a place where you feel safe. It's also good to keep in mind that if you were to leave home without permission, your mom could potentially file a runaway report. Although we are not legal experts, in most states, if you were picked up by the police, they would be forced to return you home. You might want to think about how your mom will react if you were to leave and how she might react when you return home. Also, if you were to stay with a friend’s family for instance, they could potentially face charges for harboring a runaway. Just something to consider.
It’s great that you care a lot about school and doing well academically. It seems like you would like to stay after school to do your homework so that you have a quiet place to concentrate and to spend some time away from home. Unfortunately, it seems like your mom isn’t very receptive to the idea. I wonder if you could get some support from your school on this matter. Perhaps your LA teacher or a school counselor might be of help.
Is there any adult you feel comfortable talking to about the problems that are going on at home? Again, maybe someone at school, a relative, or a friend’s parent?
We hoped this is helpful and if you would like to discuss your situation in greater detail you can always call our hotline or contact us on our chat. We look forward to hearing from you and we wish you the best of luck.
