I want to run away but have no where to go

[Guest]

I'm 13 years old/8th Grader

Sometimes I wish I could just disappear what would happen then? Would people wonder where I went or not? I'm invisible anyway...... what's the point of even living?Just like how we kill animals aren't we animals too so why make a big deal about it hahaha...... what am I even saying:/ My sister and my mom got into a fight she tells us to respect her when she don't even respect us. Now she took way the 1 phone each of us share and out tablets then says she would give them back in the end of the year. U know what school just started a week ago hahaha :/ I wonder what would it be like to have a family who cares....about...u... even my sisters don't like me.I would like to run away but have nowhere to go no money no place to stay so yeah im lonely. Sometimes I would wonder what would it be like to be someone else not with weird short hair like me or a bumpy face or not have a fashion tase or be bad at math or reading or have delaxa or be a crybaby or wish I was dead. :/ a lot of things huh? ever since I was little I was bad at everything I was fat and don't look good at all I was also shy so I don't have a lot of friends I hate it when I have to go see other teachers when I get pulled out of class for something but I have to be nice and stuff I can't let them know what is wrong with me not one bit if they do I don't think I can even go to the school anymore. u see I have quite a number of friends they care about me so I don't just walk off a ruff or kill myself cause of them. I have to be nice and happy so they can be in ease and not worry but little do they know there is wrecking ball inside my head. When I was little I use to get this piece of paper and when u get a green I have a good day if I have a yellow I have a off day If I had a red I have a horrible day when I was Little if I got a yellow or under My mom would get a belt and beat me up 1-5 times one time I dropped my pencil on the ground the teacher asked why I was getting up I was about to say why but she interrupted and said go and call my mom I was so scared but I don't cry I can't show them I am weak well I did that anyway :/ when I got home I got beat up 10-15 times it hurt like hell but I could not say anything after that I tried to commit suicide so much times trying to eat poison berries or get a knife and hold it against my chest but I would chicken out and stuff like that :/.Over time I stopped doing these thing but picture it out of my head like a car crash happens and I get killed or something abnormal happens. I think it got into a habit because it happened even when im at school...:/ But sometimes when I do something like clean some mess up or walking down a hallway I would get wosy and have feeling like I did this before and I start to fall.... :/ but I think it's because I stay up most of the night watching anime :/ so right now i'm using the schools chromebook to write all these things down. So this is what happened today My sister got in a fight with my mom and she tells us to respect her and she say "I buy clothes for all of u shoes a lot of other stuff, and u dont even have respect for me!!!" My mom was fighting my sister cause she asked if she could go to walmart! Oh come on it's just walmart for goodness sake!! it's like right across the street!! Now my sister christy involved me and my sister christle in this matter!! Christle just talked back to mom while I just sat there smiling cause if I dont tears would rain down of out of my eyes! She then takes everything away except of our chromebooks!!Which by the way I think she forgot about them...:/ and then says she would give them back when school ends and u know the rest blah blah. For once I wish to be someone different someone who could make friends easily and who is not easily forgotten but wishes can't come true but for this wish I really.....wish...it...could..........

[ccsmod1]

Hey there,

Thanks for sharing a little bit about what's been going on; we know that it's hard to do and it takes a lot of courage. Divorce can be really hard on everyone in a family and it makes sense that you'd be upset by your mom's behavior! It may be a good idea to talk to your mom about what's she's been doing, how it makes you feel, and set boundaries for what you are comfortable with happening at home. We know that it can be hard to broach such sensetive subject matters and iIt could be a good idea to work with a local family counselor or have a conversation mediated by a school counselor/social worker, trusted friend, or family member to help clear the air.

Hi I’m Hannah and I’m 10 I have no choice but to run away i died a little of my hair and if my mom finds out I’m screwed and I cut myself on my arm what do I do..or where do I go

[ccsmod15]

Hey there,

We are so sorry to hear you're in a tough situation with your mom. We're also really concerned about the cutting you describe. Things might seem really hard right now but please know that it can get better. Perhaps your mom won't be as upset as you think? Even if she is really mad, you don't necessarily have to run away. You do have other options and we'd like to discuss these with you if you give us a call at 1-800-RUNAWAY or using our chatroom by clicking on the chat button on our website's main page. We are here 24/7 and are confidential and non-judgmental. We can discuss what your best options are.

Also, regarding the cutting you might want to take a look at this website: https://twloha.com/. We hope that you are safe and that you don't engage in any self-harm.

You're not alone! We are here for you.

Best,

I'm 11 years old and i need to run away.

I have no issues at home, i just need to get out. im sick of where i am and just need to experience that type of freedome in my life. But i cant go alone.

[ccsmod15]

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us, it sounds like you are wanting an adventure or maybe some independence. It's completely understandable that you might feel like you are stuck in a routine or doing the same things over and over. Running away from home is a pretty big decisions and might cause more harm than good, especially if you think that there's no issues at home at all. What might be helpful is think of ways that you can experience different things in your life that allow you to still be at home. Looking to your community is a good place to start like going to a local library to read and hangout, starting a garden near the house, joining a sport team (ie. little league) or starting a club with your neighborhood friends. There even might be actives that can be done at or after school that you can participate in. These activities are simple, but can be pretty fun and shake up your daily routine.

While we think it’s great for people to want to experience freedom in their life, it might be a good idea to think realistically about what you would do for shelter, food and safety. Think about financially how much it would cost to travel and who you would be staying with. If you are wanting to stay at shelters, we would recommend going to https://www.nationalsafeplace.org/ and seeing what youth shelters are in your area.

Please feel free to reach out to us at any time before you leave at 1-800-RUNAWAY. Stay safe and we wish you the best of luck.

hi im hailey and im 16. my reason for wanting to run away is a little different. i dont really want to get into to much detail, so basically, a while ago i was diagnosed w depression and anxiety (severe). my mom is actually one of my biggest supporter while on my track to getting better. but in more recent times, ive made a few really bad mistakes and my mom found out. it absolutely crushed her, where some days she wouldnt even talk to me. ive been trying really hard to gain her trust back and get better mentally, but i did two really stupid things tonight and i j feel like the ********test person after her reaction. so ive decided that i want to run away so ill never hurt her again (well besides the running away part) the problem is is that i have no idea where i can go thats close by at least

[ccsmod1]

Hey Hailey,

Thanks so much for reaching out and sharing a little bit about what’s been going on, we know that it takes a lot of courage. It must be really hard to live in a home with so much tension. Running away is a big decision and it can be very stressful to figure out what you want to do. You mentioned that you are unsure of where you'd go if you were to leave home. There may be a youth shelter or transitional living program in your area but it would be best to call or chat us so we can do a search for you.

It sounds like you love your mom a lot and are very hurt that your relationship with your mom isn't where it was before. Leaving home may hurt your mom deeper than you realize - it could be a good idea to work with a local family counselor or have a conversation mediated by a school counselor/social worker, trusted friend, or family member to help clear the air. If you'd like, you can also call us directly and we can conduct a conference call with your mom so you have a safe environment where you can express yourself.

You mentioned that you have been having some problems lately with anxiety and depression. It can be really hard to live with mental health issues and we want you to know that you aren’t alone in addressing them. If you’d like some additional support, an organization that may be helpful is the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). You can contact them by calling 1-800-950-NAMI or you can text them by sending NAMI to 741741. Another agency that could be of great help is the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), they can help you locate low or no cost mental health care providers in your area. Their number is 1-877-726-4727 or you can go to their site at samhsa.gov.

My parents have spent a lot of the last year abusing me and recently called the police, who luckily did not show up, to send me off to jail, and now I’m not at school and I feel I can’t go back ever again because all my friends were told why, but it was my mother who told them and she hates me more than anyone

[ccsmod7]

Hi there,

It sounds like you have been going through a lot over the past year, and it must feel overwhelming. You deserve to be safe and treated with respect. Thank you for reaching out. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help.

You mentioned that you want to run away but have nowhere to go. Before deciding to leave, have you thought about how long you may be gone or how you might survive (e.g. food, shelter, transportation, etc.). These are some things you may want to think about. If you need help, we can help you explore your options.

If you decide to leave, there are some places where you might want to look into going. One place is www.nationalsafeplace.org or you can text the word “safe” and your current location (city/state/zip) to 4HELP (44357). If there is a safe place near you, you can stay a little bit and get additional support. Another option would be to look at https://www.homelessshelterdirectory.org/. You can search by state for a shelter near you.

We also have a database of resources that may be helpful whether you decide to stay or leave. Please feel free to call us 24 hours a day at 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929), and we can explore with you or just provide support.

Best of luck,

NRS

[Guest]

I hate being at home. Everything around me feels like it's crashing down. Both my parents constantly emotionally and sometimes physically abuse me. My mother hasn't let a day gone by without telling me that I look fat since I was 8. And now I'm 16 and still going through it every day. My parents are screaming EVERY MOMENT OF THE DAY, fighting and SCREAMING over the tiniest thing. I tried to move to my grandma but because we're moving houses and financial problems, my mom and 2 siblings are also staying over for a few weeks and I can feel my grandparent slowly starting on the verbal abuse. I feel like I'm suffocating every day, in tears. I can never get any kind of peace in my life. I wanna run away so bad but I don't know how I'd be able to support myself without my parents finding me. I also go to a really good school and I'm afraid that if I continue going to school, they'll find me. I can definitely find ways to make a living but the city I live in is small and I don't wanna get caught. But I also can't keep living with these monsters every damn day because I'm losing my mind...
Please help.

[ccsmod3]

Thank you for reaching out to us. It sounds like you are feeling overwhelmed because you are in a toxic environment at home. Your parents aren’t getting along and you are getting abused emotionally and physically. You have the option to file an abuse report by contacting the police. We can actually walk you through what that would look like and support you, if that is something you are interested in. If you are interested you would have to call 1800-RUNAWAY. You don’t deserve to be treated that way by anyone especially your parents and you can contact Child Help at 1800-422-4453 and can also receive support and resources regarding filing an abuse report.
That’s terrible that you can’t find any peace in your home and you feel like you are suffocating. Maybe having someone you can talk to can help alleviate some of that stress. Try to talk to a counselor or family member, friends or someone you trust who will listen and offer you some emotional support through this difficult time. I understand that you want to runaway and you have some concerns about what that would look like for you. If you plan on running away, first, your parents can file a runaway report which won’t get you charged with a crime. At the most, the police may return you to the home you ran away from. Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do as far as school to prevent you from getting caught. If you were to runaway and still attend the same school your parents could be able to find you and you would be escorted back to your home. Please feel free to call us 24 hours a day at 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929), and we can explore with you or just provide support.

We can talk about options with you and establish some type of plan that is safe for you. Remember we are he to discuss your options an help you with resources, referrals or however we can.

Thank you for reaching out to us, it sounds like you are having a hard time at home. It seems like you ,your mom, sibling and dad aren’t getting along. Sorry that you experiencing all of this, I’m sure it is overwhelming and a little lonely. Also I could understand how it could be traumatizing to have nightmares about your father abusing you. It may be a good idea to talk to either your counselor, friend or family so that you can continue to talk about it and have some support.

I’m 14 and I’m considering running away from my home. I’m not getting abused physically, but my dad always makes fun of me for anything. It hurts really bad. And my mom doesn’t do ******** to help me. My parents are respecting that I’m transgender ftm but I’m pretty sure that they don’t accept it really. It’s just the way they act when I correct them on my pronouns or name. I used to cut myself and I have 12 suicide attempts, and I’m reconsidering self-harm. It’s because I’m getting bullied at school and my parents make me unhappy. My dad calls me names sometimes and he makes fun of how my hair looks and my voice. I am really not happy here but I don’t wanna leave my boyfriend though... that’s the only thing that’s stopping me but the thing is that I wanna be happy.

We want you to know that you are strong for having gone through so much already. It is perfectly okay to deviate from what others or the common population believe to be “normal”.

The GLBT National Hotline at 1-888-843-4564 is another option to gain great support from those that are familiar with the issues and experiences of those that are also a part of the LGBTQ community.

I want to run away but I want some advice before I do anything stupid.
I am 14 but will be 15 in October,

my parents and I have never seen eye to eye. my mother tends to never listen and just act on what she believes, and my father will just flow. they say they care but all they do is get materialistic things and think that shows their love. just today my mother was forcing me to drink something that was supposed to help with sore throats but after one sip my stomach wanted to throw it back out. instead of asking why I couldn't drink it she gets out of the car and comes over to my side and stares me down and yells at me telling me she doesn’t have time to deal with me. I tell her think is making feel like throwing up, but she didn’t care and said then throw up after you finish drinking that. I try to take another sip and she loses her temper like normal and pours the whole think one me. I became drenched in it and I was in my school clothes and already close to school. she didn’t even care, since we were at my dad's work, I try doing to him for help while she is behind me yell at me. my dad comes out while on the phone with her and just walks toward her and stands by her like she is right. he doesn’t say anything. she just took my phone and tries drove off, but my dad stops her. I thought to help but to talk about ways to punish me after I get off school. I was forced to stay in the same clothes on the ride to school and I’m still wet now in school. if this was the end of it, I won’t think about running away but she does this often. at time she seems calm but when she is not, she is scary. like a year or two ago she got mad at me for not being able to remember everything she told me to do since I have a very bad memory, she kicked me into the door and broke the door. she didn’t even care that I was in tears, she never cares. And just a couple months ago she pushed me to the point of cutting and she found out like a month later and all she didn’t was keep sharp things away from me and took my door off its hinges. She knows that I am not stable but she doesn’t care and continues to push me and I just cant taking it anymore.

[ccsmod8]

Hello,
Hello there -

First, I am very glad you contacted us, it takes a lot of maturity to reach out for help and consider the options and consequences of your actions. We cannot imagine how stressful and difficult it is coping with the trouble you are having with your parents. You deserve to feel supported and comfortable in your home and your physical and mental health is of the utmost importance. Being constantly questioned and berated and made to feel like you are less than nothing, can be detrimental to your overall well-being. I am happy to discuss some options, but want to stress the importance of your safety. Please do not hesitate to call us at 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929) or access us through an online chat for more immediate responses and support. We are here to listen and help 24/7.

I feel it is crucial not to glance over what you mentioned about the cutting, regardless of what pushed you to do so. If you ever think about taking such actions a step further, I encourage you to reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255). There are also great resources to help with those in a less stable mental state, like the National Alliance on Mental Illness (1-800-950-NAMI). You should never have to feel isolated and unsupported and these resources are great for those who are trying to handle a mental health crisis.

You mentioned you are considering running away. We are not legal experts and must defer legal questions to a local law office or your local police department. In most states, anyone under the age of 18 is consider a minor. If you were to run and your parents filed a runaway report, it would be considered a “status offense”. Meaning, if the police find you, you will be returned home or to your legal guardian. This does not go on your record or involve time in a Juvenile center. Anyone you stay with could be charged with “harboring a runaway”. Typically a misdemeanor offense. If you choose to runaway, we encourage you to make a plan and consider things more long-term: Will you go to school? How will you afford it? Who will you be staying with? We would be happy to talk about any plan you may have or answer any questions, if you feel comfortable reaching out to us via phone or chat. You may also consider discussing your plan and troubles with an adult in your life that you trust.

Best,
National Runaway Safeline

[ccsmod10]

Hi there,

Thank you for writing to us here at National Runaway Safeline (NRS). We understand it takes great courage to reach out, and we appreciate you sharing a little bit about what’s going on. It seems there is a lot that you are faced with right now and you’re feeling like leaving is one of your only options.

While we are not experts on the law, 18 is generally the age that an individual may leave home without parent permission. If you are under 18 and leave home, your parent/guardian may file you as a runaway and you may be returned home. Also, those you stay with may run the risk of being charged with harboring a runaway. For more specifics on the law, the local non-emergency police or legal aid may better answer legal questions.

If you don’t feel safe and feel like you need to get away Nationalsafeplace.org provides a safe location for you to meet a staff member who can take you to a designated place where you can discuss all options about how to stay safe. You can text 44357 the word “safe,” and your location to find a safe location in your area. Once you arrive let someone who works there know you need help connecting with a staff member.

You mentioned depression . If you’re not currently getting mental health resources, it can be really helpful to get treatment As your mental health suffers, you have -limited ability to handle the other stressors in your life. You can contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to connect you to mental health resources at 1-800-950-6264 or NAMI.org You may also want to talk to your school because they should have a counselor for you.

We are here as support to help through this challenging time. We can best help by phone or chat as NRS is unable to respond more than twice by email to assist you. If you would like to talk more in detail please call or chat soon.

I'm 18 and I have little to no will to live in my parents house anymore. I have my future set up for me in the next couple months but I just need out. I'm not sure what to do or where to go but I dont think I can handle this much longer. I go one day where I'm this amazingly smart kid and they're telling all their friends to the next when they're yelling at me for something as simple as not getting a room cleaned and calling me an idiot and the such. I can't deal with it anymore. Recently I've had many suicidal thoughts, but they kind of tapered off about a month ago when I met my girlfriend. She is the most amazing person and I have tried gettig my life together for her but it seems every time I take a step forward, my parents come in and force me to take 2 steps back. I honestly just need a way out and I've got no where else to go at this point. I'v gto no phone and the only form of contact I have is email through my provided computer.

Often, having a safe space to share how you’re feeling may bring a variety of solutions previously not thought of. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. This may be an isolating and lonely time for you, but you are not alone in this. We want you to know that we are here as support to help you through this challenging time.
If you would like to talk more in detail please call or chat soon. Our contact information is 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929); www.1800runaway.org (click on the chat button).
We hope to hear from you soon.
Be safe and stay strong,
NRS
