Thank you for contacting the National Runaway Safeline. It sounds like you’re going through a difficult time. It can be upsetting to feel like you’re being forced to be someone that you’re not. You’ve done the right thing by reaching out.

During stressful times, it can often be helpful to rely on other members of your support system, by talking to a friend, other relative, or school personnel. It can help to talk things through with someone outside of the situation. They might be able to help you see some options you haven’t considered yet.

If you would like to talk more about what’s going on and maybe work through some options, please give us a call at 1-800-Runaway. We have a few resources that may be useful, including our message relay (we can deliver a message to your parents on your behalf) and our conference call service (we can hold a conference call between you and your parents and help you all work through what has been upsetting you). Please feel free to call at anytime. We’re here to listen 24/7.

Thank you for reaching out to us at the National Runaway Safeline. It sounds like you are in a difficult situation, and we understand it takes courage to reach out for help. The National Runaway Safeline is located in the United States of America (USA). Our knowledge of helpful community based resources and our understanding of youth in crisis related laws is limited to the USA. If you are located in a country outside of the USA, you can use this link to find a youth helpline in or around your country: http://www.childhelplineinternationa...where-we-work/
We hope that by reaching out to a local resource, you are able to get the support you need from an organization that understands the laws and circumstances that affect youth in your country.
