Hello There,
Thank you for reaching out to The National Runaway Safeline, we are here to help and here to listen. It sounds like you are planning to run away, which is a very bid decision. We are not legal experts but if you were to leave home without permission your legal guardian can file a runaway report. If the police were to find you they most likely would bring you back home. If you need help looking for a safe place or options please call or chat with us and we can try to help.
Unfortunately, our forums are not a place to look for people to run away with you and we prohibit that. WE hope you can understand. We are here 24/7 to listen and to provide support. Best of luck!
NRS

Guest repliedI'm planning to runaway and go to a safe place, but I wanna know if there is anyone willing to do it with me. I am 13, is there anyone? It will be tough and difficult but at least two or three people is better and likely to survive than on your own.

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. It seems you want to know some information on runaway laws.
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.
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.
Our contact information is 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929); www.1800runaway.org (click on the chat button).
If you are at risk of any danger or feeling unsafe, we encourage you to reach out to 911 or seek emergency assistance immediately.
Be safe,
NRS

Hello there,
Thanks for reaching out to National Runaway Safeline. We really appreciate you telling us a little about what’s been going on.
It sounds like you’ve really had it with the way your family is treating you. We’re sorry you’re feeling so down. It sounds to us like you’re having a hard time and might try to hurt yourself. If that is what you’re saying, we do want to make sure you’re heard. You have every right to feel how you’re feeling. It might be really helpful to reach out to https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/, they have a live chat there for people that are feeling like they might try to kill themselves or even if you’re just thinking about it but don’t have a plan. We’re also here if you’d like to talk. We also have a live chat at www.1800runaway.org. We’re 24/7 as well, feel free to take a chat and talk to us.
That said, it also sounds like you think it’s your fault that you’ve been causing stress in your family due to seizures. It’s so hard to feel like you’re to blame. But you are not. You don’t have any control over something like that. It is NOT ok for them to call you names. No one deserves to be treated like that. You are worthy of love and respect. It sounds like your sister might have some insight to your situation. Do you feel comfortable talking to her about how you feel? Sometimes it’s helpful to talk to someone about your situation that knows you well, if you feel comfortable.
We want you to know that you’re not alone and we are here for you to talk to. Everyone needs someone to talk to sometimes. We’re here when you’re ready.
Best,
NRS

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 sounds like you’re quite overwhelmed by things at home right now. It sounds like you’re fearing that the situation may end in suicide if things don’t change. Your safety and well-being is important. If you are at risk of any danger or feeling unsafe, we encourage you to reach out to 911 or seek emergency assistance immediately. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-TALK (8255); www.suicidepreventionlifeline.orgis also a great resource to reach out to in addition to our crisis services.
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.

Guest repliedI am turning 14 in a few months, so I can say that I'm old or at least old enough to act like this. I want to run away really bad, I just don't feel happy anymore. Yes, there are happy times but there are bad times. When something goes wrong my family members are always so stubborn and think that they are always right. They hurt me verbally and physically and honestly I'm really tired of it all. I already packed clothes, a few power banks, cash, chargers, and I'm leaving once my phone is done charging. Should I really go through with this...?

Thanks for reaching out to NRS,
It seems like you are in a complicated situation and its hard to not get the support from your mom that you would hope for. It can be hard to find ways to cope with the situation for sure so it makes sense to feel like you need to get out to get the support you need.
You mentioned suicidal thoughts, if those get to the point you feel like you are going to take your own life please call 911 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. They are there to help you and keep you safe even if it is from yourself. There is also the community based To Write Love On Her Arms at https://twloha.com/ . They focus on finding hope in tough situations and finding ways to cope without self-harming.
There are also resources for you specifically about your gender identity, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386, and the LGBT Youth Talkline at 1-800-246-7743. Both work often with LGBT youth in similar situations and might have some ideas to help.
Otherwise if you were to just leave your house now at age 12 your mom can file a runaway report and have police bring you back home. It is known as a status offence, so you wouldn’t be arrested and put into jail or something like that, but police would look for you.
Hopefully these options help you out, if you need someone to talk to about your situation or have more questions please reach out to our hotline at 1-800-RUNAWAY or chat with us online at 1800runaway.org.

Guest repliedI'm 12 and I want to run away, but there is nowhere me to go so my mom won't find me. I'm gender-fluid and bi, but my mom doesn't except me and just says it's a phase. I also have suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and uncontrollable actions of self harm, but my mother won't let me get any help. She acts like it's just an annoyance instead of any issue. I looked in to buses but the only ones near me need a parent present a the buying of the ticket along with other ID. I don't have any where to go but i can't stay here.

Guest repliedhi, I'm 12 years old and I feel like running away because I feel that I cause my parents a lot of pain and I want to give them space. They don't abuse me and I don't hit them, I feel like I've done a lot of things the make the disappointed. I feel bad and I don't know what to want to do.
