Hi. Im 12. I know you will probably think oh shes only 12 she’s probably over exaggerating. But I’m so scared of my dad and I’ve thought of running away more than once. I’ve even planned it. My dad shouts at me all the time and I cry often more than once a day. He told me to help him with something before and it was too complex for me because I’m 12. He started saying things to me like why don’t you get it what’s the point of me sending you to school then. I started crying and I was pinching myself so he wouldn’t hear me crying but he did and suddenly shouted why are you crying which made me cry harder and he said what kind of person acts like you your useless. And I was sobbing at this point. Then he said clearly all you know how to do is cry so why don’t you just go to your room and cry then. I ran upstairs to my room and locked the door and started having a panic attack. I was shaking and crying uncontrollably. I have a rabbit and once she had managed to get some fruit and was eating it.i let her roam the house sometimes. I try really hard to keep an eye on her when I do so but it’s hard when I’m trying to clean her cage at the same time this was one of those times. My dad saw her eating the fruit and shouted at me and said look at your rabbit do you see what she’s doing he then came over and opened the door and was about to grab my rabbit and throw her out. I was really scared and shouted stop I picked my rabbit up put her in her cage and ran to my room and had another panic attack. My mum came and told me to go have tea but I wouldn’t. I was terrified of my dad. My mum never stands up to my dad. I am I’m top set in everything but my dad has never to.d me that I’ve done a good job or anything he even tells me I’m not good enough and honestly ive started to believe that. Sometimes I have really scary thoughts and bang my head against my wall and scratch myself. My big sister was always helping my dad but she’s eight years older than me and my dad expects me to know everything she knows now she’s at university but I can’t it’s too hard for me. My big sister was older and more clever. He constantly thinks I’m lying and doesn’t trust me with anything. My little sister is autistic and when she starts crying my dad automate blames it on me and tells me stop when I’ve not done anything. Last night I planned what I was going to text to everyone when I kill myself.

Hey there,
We're sorry to hear you're having a rough time at home. It sounds like you want more independence, even for little things like dressing yourself. It makes sense that, as you get older, you'd want to be able to have more say in your life. That's understandable.
As for running away: that's a very big decision to make. Some issues to consider: Where would you go? How would you stay safe? What would your parents do if you left? How would this affect school? Your parents would have the obligation to file a runaway report on you if you left home without permission. The police would likely detain you and release you to your parents. It's just a really big decision to face, especially at 11 years old.
Perhaps you can just talk to your parents when they are in a good mood and try to explain yourself to them, maybe making a list of a few things you'd like to have more freedom in doing for yourself. Perhaps you can even write them a letter. You could also talk to other trusted adults in your life about what you're going through: a teacher, counselor, or relative you feel comfortable with. You can also call us and we can discuss what your options are. Our number is 1-800-RUNAWAY and we are here 24/7. You can also chat with us online via the portal at www.1800runaway.org.
Please stay safe! We are here for you anytime.

I almost ran away the night before Thanksgiving. My parents are big drinkers and it bothers me a lot and my anxiety has gotten the best of me many’s of times, hence why I am writing this. I don’t know what to do anymore... I told my parents how I felt and nothing worked, I was thinking about turning to self harm or worse but I couldn’t leave my dog. I’ve thought about running away multiple times but I don’t know what do to anymore...

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 dealing with a lot right now, and we want you to know that you are not alone.
We are sorry to hear that a lot of your things were taken away from you, that sounds super frustrating to have to deal with. It is also not right for your step mom to say mean things to you and we want you to know people do care about you.
You mentioned wanting to run away we are not legal experts but we do have some information on what could happen. Because you are a minor if you were to leave home your legal guardian could file a runaway report. If the police were to find you they most likely would bring you back home. If you need someone to talk to about what is going on you can reach out to us we are here 24/7. Also even if your school is closed some school counselors are meeting virtually.
We hope that this information will be helpful to you in your situation. If you have any more questions please give us a call. We are here 24/7 to listen and to provide support. Best of luck!

I'm a boy 16 years old lived in a different country called "Philippines".
I've wanted to run away, but it's due to quarantine and not just that. It's really hard where your destination is coming from and how can I get money through hardship.
The reason I wanted to run away is that nobody in the family understands me. They think highly of themselves while me they think lowly and doesn't like how I act and who I am. They just wanted more of their expectation than my opinion and my parents are Christians and always use this verse "Ephesians 6:1"to no choice but to follow them no matter what. I've wanted something to say to them, but they want me to understand them but I already know they just didn't understand me.
I remember my mom said this to me "I should've wished your never been treated to the hospital!!" I remember that, but they act like it was ok and then forget everything they said. And my dad always said this to me "You always give me no inspiration." This line that stuck in my mind gave me anxiety and I'm already afraid of them even though my family are Christian.
When I wanted my mom to understand but she didn't. She said "All of the things you disobeyed hurts me alot." And that's it, I understand that but they think lowly of me. I tried to be Top 1 at school but they don't like who I am and my family told me "If your Top 1 you should act it." I did everything they said.
Because according to Ephesian 6:1 "Children obey your parents." It always in my mind, always and always because my mom is making it repeat it to me. The though that my mom said "No matter how much you do. You're definitely the one who's wrong." It gave anxiety, because this memories are still in my mind. I already have bipolar disorder because of how much I caused too much mood swings. All I said that "I'm wrong, I'm wrong." and "I'm overreacting, I'm overreacting."
I have planned many suicidal thoughts around my mind, but the way I think I'm just here to suffer by my family thinking they are always. Thinking I should've never been born if all I was doing was wrong, because thinking of my parents are right because of Ephesians 6:1.
And I'm also afraid to run away, because they will find me by my brother also is part who doesn't understand me also. They will think I'm overreacting but in my mood I'm afraid of them, it gives me a lot panics.
I'm afraid of what might I actually do. I have now social anxiety and bipolar disorder. Because if I talk to my mom, she had my brother on her side. So they don't really know about anxiety and panic attacks because they always to me "All of your learnings are from the internet."
I'm afraid of my father because whenever mom and I got a fight in argue she would call dad for help or even my brother. I'm afraid of them.
That's why I wanted to run away, I couldn't even show my crying face, and couldn't even show who I am because I'm afraid and angry at them..

Hi I’m 16, I’m shy and I don’t have a great relationship with my parents. Like my mom constantly manipulates me and yells at me, and my dad just sits there letting her mistreat me and encourages it. Remind you I’m the only girl and the last born in a house full of 3 boys. Even my own siblings mistreats me because they think I’m a horrible person. I’m constantly being slaved around then my brothers. When ever I would complain about the excessive amount of work, my parents use the dumb excuse “your a girl, this is your job” or “your suppose to work more than the guys”...”if you can’t do this correctly, how will you be a good wife to your husband”. Whenever I would protest about me being mistreated, We always get in an argument . Which i get threatened and called names by my so called parents. Like “you better be nice to me cause when I start to ignore you, your gonna hang yourself”... “If I knew you were gonna turn this way, I wouldn’t have born you”.... “your the reason I have health issues”... “your wicked” or “your evil”. I would constantly be compared to my cousins. Then I always go to my room and cry after hearing them say rude words about me, thinking is something wrong with me. They would always lower my self esteem, I honestly have severe social anxiety because they never let me go out and I’ve falling into depression through this. I’ve been debating on running away but I get too scared and never fall through with it. I just want to go anywhere then be with this horrible family. I’m just gonna fight through this for 2 more years and go to a college far away from them. They are so fake, my parents hang out with family and friends and act like they have an amazing marriage which is a lie, like they have an abusive relationship. My dad constantly beats on her and she allows it. I feel bad for her but she always puts him above us her kids. I just want to run away and start a life fresh from this toxic environment.

Hey there,
Thank you for reaching out to NRS it seems like you are in an oppressing situation because of how your family treats you. Nobody should be told things like your parents have told you. It is understandable to feel sad and frustrated. You deserve to have supportive family that helps you grow, not family that brings you suffering.
While it can be harder to prove, verbal abuse is very real and reportable to CPS/DCFS. You deserve a place that is safe for you. If you want to know more information about child abuse or reporting it we encourage you to look at childhelp.org for more information. In the meantime starting a journal of times you have felt threatened, with dates can help you if you do choose to file a report later.
It seems like you are feeling like you may be slipping towards depression as a result of everything going on. If you do feel this way NAMI.org may be a good place to start and learn about mental health and the issues around it to find community and coping mechanisms. It might also be worth finding an adult you trust and will listen to you for help venting. This could be another family member, school personnel, or a certified therapist. If you need help finding a therapy/counseling resource we do have them in our database and can try to help you find one.
There is also a domestic violence hotline if you feel like it would be helpful for your mom to reach out to. It seems like she is the main person targeting you with harsh words, but maybe if she can get help and support she may be less stressed and be more willing to tone things down. You can find them at thehotline.org.
Again we thank you for reaching out to NRS today. If you have more questions or just need someone to talk to about all of this you can always reach us by our online chat at 1800runaway.org, or through our telephone hotline at 1-800-786-2929.
Good Luck,
NRS

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here at NRS and we appreciate you sharing a bit about your situation. It sounds like you have runaway from home or left without permission before and it has caused some issues in your relationship with your auntie. We do not know too much about your situation so it is hard to say what might be the best way to approach this with your auntie. You are the expert on your situation and your relationships, so you would ultimately know what is best.
We can suggest a few factors or ideas to take into consideration. Because you have made this promise with your auntie not to runaway again, it could be helpful to think through ways you might be able to get her permission to leave home. You could try to first think through and even write down why you feel you need to leave, what you are trying to accomplish and why it is important to you. Once you have had a chance to process this further you can share it with your auntie and express why you feel leaving is necessary or important to you. Having a solid plan in place of what you are going to do could also help. Taking some factors into consideration would make your plan safer and possibly make your auntie more comfortable with your plan: where will you stay if you will be gone overnight, how will you find transportation there and back, will you be staying in contact with your auntie, do you have money to take with you.
Sometimes having another adult get involved to advocate for your needs can make having these difficult conversations easier to navigate. Perhaps there is another family member, friend, or trusted adult who can help you communicate you plans to your auntie.
If your auntie is not comfortable with you leaving or believes that this choice is detrimental to your well-being, running away could cause some problems in your relationship. It sounds leaving against her wishes could do some damage emotionally and even break any trust she has in you. You may want to think about if leaving is something that can wait or if it is worth possible negative consequences with your auntie.
If you would like to talk more in-depth about this, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. We are available 24/7 for immediate support by phone at 1-800-786-2929 or through live chat at 1800runaway.org.
Stay safe,
NRS

Hi I'm 12 years old, and I was thinking of running away from my parents. My dad had always been the screaming type, and my mom is always screaming. And they both don't support me, Im scared of them, Im scared to stand up and tell them what I've been through. Over the past few years I've angered my dad and one time when I was 6 or 7 my dad shoved me to the ground, and put a lock position on me. I was so scared, since then I have been scaed to tell my parents anything, as my family is really traditional (Asain), they tend to spank alot, and scream, I don't know what to do. I cry myself to sleep everynignt, they want me to get good grades, lika all parents, but how they do it is harsh. I am really scared of them. My family calls me fat, and an idiot. I can't really call the cops about it becuase I dont have any communiation, and I don't want to becuase my mom and dad will loose their jobs, and they would get really mad at me, and never forgive me. Im a christian and I don't know if I am defying the words of my "God". My parents can be fun at times, but when their mad I'm scared for my life. ANother past experiences was my dad throwing me against the wall, and getting rough. I really need help I don't know what to do. I don't want the PD to get involved because im scared of what will happen. Can I have some advice?

Hey, I am 16 years old and I’ve had many thoughts about running away and maybe not forever but like a break from my family. I hate being home because I feel like my parents are emotionally and mentally abusive. My mom goes to work and comes home with the worst attitude I know she’s tired when she gets home so I try to help like clean the kitchen for her so all she has to do is make dinner but whatever I do isn’t good enough for her. And then she yells at me and makes me feel like I’m not good enough. My dad is always either happy or angry for some reason so I don’t really being around him because it gets bad when he’s angry. When my dads angry he starts to get physical and it’s scary. When I’m around my parents I’m scared to do things because if I don’t do it right I’m scared of what they might do and I’m scared to make my dad mad. I use to have school as an escape because I would be away from my parents and I am in band to also help me escape my house and parents. But since now with COVID it’s hard to leave my house since school is online so my parents give me so much negative energy and they drain my energy that it’s hard for me to even focus and do good in school. If I were to leave him I would probably stay at a friends or with my boyfriend because they help me stay positive and help me through a lot. I just don’t want to be home.Last edited by ccsmod4; 12-04-2020, 01:13 AM.

Hello,
Thank you for writing to us here at the National Runaway Safeline.
We understand it takes great courage to reach out, and we appreciate you sharing a little bit about what’s going on. We would like to be of assistance to you if we can. It is times like these that would be nice to have a listening ear. It is also important that you remember to exercise self- care. You showed some by reaching out to NRS. Good for you. What you have been experiencing sounds very sad and very unfair. You do not deserve to be treated with abuse by your parents. It’s not your fault that they behave this way. It sounds like you are feeling emotionally drained. Your feelings are important and they matter.
You are deserving as anyone that wants to be happy.
The Covid situation has made things even more challenging for many. Especially those in abusive situations.
Your friends and boyfriend seem like a good support base for you. It’s nice to have people that care. Sometimes having a space to vent and explore options may often bring out a solution previously not thought of.
We want you to know that we are here as support to help you during this challenging time. We can best help by phone or chat. If you would like to talk more in detail and share more about how we can help specifically, please call or chat soon.

Hello There,
Thank you for reaching out to The National Runaway Safeline, it takes a lot of courage to reach out to us and we are so glad that you decided to reach out.
We are sorry to hear that you are feeling this way, that can feel incredibly lonely. We want you to know that your life is valuable and you are worth living. You do not have to face these feelings alone please reach out for help. You can always talk to The National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1800-273-8255. You can also reach out to us at any time we are available 24/7. Another option to consider would be to talk with a trusted adult or a school counselor about what is going on at home.
We know that you mentioned running away, we are not legal experts but do have some information. If you were to leave without permission your legal guardian could file a runaway report. If the police were to find you they most likely would bring you back home.
We hope this information will help you in your situation. If you would like to talk more or explore more options, please give us a call. We are available 24/7 to listen and to provide support. Best of luck!
NRS
