Why should I not walk out?

[Unregistered]

Son of cop who acts like everyone is bad. Always comes home acting like a tuff cop but does nothing but watch tv, ride his motorcycle, and treat me as if he's about to arrest me. And enjoys coming at me when I just simply ask a question or forget to say sir after yes. I have no criminal record. Never gotten into trouble at school, I am a honor student. (Cause afraid of him wanting to fight me for having bad grades) my dad's wants to control what I do when I grow up. I have no freedom but to him "I'm spoiled" or "lucky to have…" I have only one real friend because I can't do anything. Can't even go watch my high school football games. Mom is a control freak who does the same stuff. She always pulls a guilt trip on me calling me spoiled, when I buy all my wants with money I make. Can't keep promises or time. I'm 16 and finally earned up a license. I'm tired of there bull******** and arguing. Every time I confront them the can never just talk, they involve yelling, threats and them trying to get physical. I have 5 inches on height on them and more strength so I'm not worried about them seriously trying to fight me. I'm ready to walkout and I don't care where I end up because of them. What help do have before I end up as another face on the wall of my local walmart?

Hello,

We’re glad you decided to reach out to us at the National Runaway Safeline. It sounds like you’ve got a lot going on with your dad and are seriously considering leaving home. We are sorry to hear your dad wants to control what you do and treats you as though he is going to arrest you. It sounds like your freedom is limited which we imagine is frustrating. You mention your mom also likes control which doesn’t seem like it would make things go any easier. We are not here to make the decision for you, but are here to discuss possible options and even help you get to a plan. We are here to listen, provide support, and can even look up local resources if that would help. Hopefully this gives you a start.
