Re: Family problems

Hi there,

Thank you for writing to us here at National Runaway Safeline (NRS). It sounds like you feel misunderstood by your family and that you're unhappy at home. We are sorry you are feeling this way. Everyone deserves a home where they feel supported and understood. It sounds like you may benefit from talking more about what's going on. We are here to listen and to help in any way we can. We can help locate some resources for counseling/therapy, shelters/housing, or anything else that you may need assistance with. We often can help best if you called in to our crisis line at 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929). If you cannot call in, we encourage you to try chatting with us through our website www.1800runaway.org by clicking on the chat icon.

You are strong for reaching out for help. It sounds scary to feel like things are so overwhelming and out of control; especially scary to have thoughts about killing yourself. We want you to know you are not alone, and that suicide does not have to be the answer. There are many other options available to you. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24/7 sat 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or by visiting www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

We hope you reach out soon. Be safe and stay strong.

Best,

NRS
