Hey there, Thanks for reaching out. It sounds like things are really challenging at home. It can be difficult for parents to give their children responsibility and trust. You don’t deserve to be yelled at. Maybe you could try talking with them about the best way you communicate with you. If you would like help with that, we offer a conference call service. It could help having a mediator. You can call in at 1-800-786-2929. You mentioned you are scared to be at your house. It could help to come up with a safety plan. For example, when you aren’t feeling safe you could go to a trusted neighbors house. Or if that isn’t available you could go to a room in your house that you can lock to stay safe. Again, we want to thank you for reaching out. That is a brave first step to getting help. If you want to talk about any of the options mentioned or just talk more about your situation we are available 24/7. You can call or chat (1800runaway.org). We are here to listen, here to help. Good Luck!

Thanks for reaching out to us. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help and we are glad you did. It sounds like you are in a very stressful situation with your Dad. We totally understand that running away is an option and that you have some concerns. We are not legal experts and the details on emancipation are different in every state-but in general most states want you to be closer to 18, have a job and show that you can support yourself while you finish school. A lot of states require parental consent as part of the process. So, while that might not be the best option for you right now, we are happy to explore all of your possible options with you.
You don't deserve to be hurt in any way. If you are at risk of any danger or feeling unsafe, we encourage you to reach out to 911 or seek emergency assistance immediately. You may also be able to report any mistreatment to child protective services. Child Help USA 1-800-422-4453 www.childhelp.org is an organization that helps protect minors from being harmed. They can tell you more about how CPS could respond to your situation and help you make a report if you decide that's something you want to pursue.
You can contact us anytime 24:7 on our website for a chat or on our crisis hotline number at 1 (800) RUNAWAY. Both are completely confidential. We would like to help you develop a plan with immediate steps you can take that will make your situation more manageable and help get you into an overall better situation. We are a non-directive agency so that means we are going to help you explore all your options and help you develop a safe plan that feels right for you. We hope to hear from you soon. Good luck!

i'm 15 about to turn 16 in 2 months. my family is so chaotic and i don't wanna live with my parents anymore. all my dad does is yell about everything. if the dishes aren't done he throws them away. he also threatens to send us off every time he gets mad. one day i was gone and he told me and my other siblings not to come home and locked the doors so i couldn't get in because i got in an argument with his girlfriend. he treats her better than his own children and will choose her over us any day. he doesn't want me to live here but every time i bring up wanting to leave he gets mad. i have a bathroom in my room so i could be using the bathroom and he'll bang on my bedroom door cussing until i answer. this stuff happens almost everyday and i just don't wanna deal with it anymore. all i want is peace and quiet but i can't get that. i've tried talking about stuff with him but he just gets mad and starts yelling when we talk about it. also when i wash my clothes he throws them in the floor if i don't take them out of the washer in time.Comment

I'm teen, living with my mom is mentally draining, she always brings up my mistakes even though she says she won't bring them up again, and then tells me everything she does for me when in all honestly those are at least the minimum she can do. She says I don't do any work around the house, but I literally do everything dishes, floors, trash, clothes, etc. when she comes home from work she doesn't have to do anything because I've done it already. She always brings up that her and my grandparents do everything and that my dad does nothing, mind you they are divorced and she doesn't even like me talking to him, money-wise he does above and beyond, but he's pretty crappy too, which my mom isn't wrong, but I've had to go to therapy over my dad and the divorce, so she knows bringing him up is a sore topic especially with a recent event that happened I feel like she did that on purpose to hurt. Everyone in my family expects me to be perfect all the time, I'm not allowed any mistakes everyone else in my family my age isn't even held to the same standard mind you my family is in the public eye so I have to watch what I do. Today I was talking past my curfew with my best friend and a guy friend and she flipped out I did apologize and recognized my mistake and I did tell her that I should have at least told her, but it wasn't like that big of a deal how she made it when I was trying to explain to her she kept saying you're being disrespectful and rude, so I couldn't even tell her then she goes on this whole Jesus train we are Christian, but its at the point where I rather get emancipated and figure life out on my own, I've been saving money , but she keeps taking money out of my bank account so I'm lost to be honest yes I live a good life, but if it's going to be like this every day I can't do it, especially since my mental health isn't all that great like I said before. You cant talk to her about how your feeling without her getting defensive now I have restrictions on my phone and she blaming my best friend saying im only like that when im with her, but that isn't the truth she likes my other best friend better, but little does she know that other girl just hies what she does better etc. so im lost and stuck I wish I could talk to her without her getting so defensive, but I have literally have no one anymore, mom, dad etc. I have no one to talk to about this.Last edited by ccsmod3; 01-27-2021, 04:44 AM.Comment

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 is understandable to be frustrated in such a situation. Often, having a safe space to share how you’re feeling may bring a variety of solutions previously not thought of. 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.
You mentioned thinking about emancipation. We are not legal experts, but we can help you get a general sense of how emancipation works. Laws vary depending on your location, but in many states a minor can petition the court for emancipation to take responsibility for their own care before they turn 18. Generally speaking, courts are wary about granting emancipation.
In most cases, you would have to prove in court that you have an income and can care for yourself financially, and that you are able to live separately from your parents. You mentioned that it’s difficult to save up do to having an account your mom has access to; you could possibly look into having your pay go into a separate savings account. It also helps to be in good standing at school. The court will also factor in the mental and physical welfare of your parents in order to establish your best interest. Usually your legal guardian would have to agree to this in court. Once you are emancipated, you can legally choose where you live, but you might still find that you cannot sign a lease or build credit until you turn 18.
The emancipation process can take several months or up to a year, and may cost money in the form of court fees and other expenses. The best way to learn about emancipation in your state is to contact a lawyer. You may also find information at your county family court. We can look up legal aid resources that may be able to help you with the process. We can explore your situation, go over all your options, and come up with a plan and resources to deal with your situation over the phone or on live chat.
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,

Hi there,

I'm 15 and I want to leave but I am scared that I will get caught because the last time I tried my mother threatened to call the police on me then and get me removed. I even asked to live with my grandparents but her answer was no. I have so many reasons to leave and she doesn't see that...She's hurt me in so many ways, even once tried to kill me and has broken me down mentally. She calls me things and when I get trouble she keeps those things over me and tells everyone about it and it makes me look like a horrible person. My step dad is the same and he always says I only do the things I do, like talk about anime or school or something quite simple, for attention and everytime I try to talk and tell them something I am either ignored or interupted. My mothers threatens to run away sometimes, she plays the pity card, as if shes the one being affected and I am sure it has affected her to but it still gives her no right to treat me like ********. She has even started a strict rule about phones and electronics and now I can't even contact my grandparents or if I'm lost I can't get help because my phone is either taken or at the house when I need it. It feels like I have no freedom and I just feel pressured and overwhelmed...I don't know what to because I look at the por's and cons of this and just thinking of leaving makes me happy but she is constantly breathing down my neck and I can only do the things I enjoy when she is gone at work. And at this point, just because I kept my phone for a entire night, she doesn't trust me anymore and no longer gives me a say in things.Comment

Hello,
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 going on right now with your mother and stepdad and you are considering leaving. We are so sorry that things have been so tough. We cannot tell you what to do, but we will do our best to share information that might help.
It sounds like you, your mom and stepdad have clashed several times. It sounds like you have you’re your best to try to empathize with your parents, but it has been tough to communicate with them and that has been pretty tough on you. If you would like support for yourself, one option would be to explore whether there is a school psychologist or social worker that might be able to speak with you. They can help you identify ways that you can cope with the situation at home, and possibly help you figure out different ways to approach them to help you feel heard. In your message, you discuss wanting to leave, but having concerns about what might happen if you do. 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 would like to talk more about your situation and explore options near you, including local non-emergency and legal aid, we are here for you.
Whatever you decide, please know that we are here to support you. Although we cannot tell you what to do, we will do our best to help you explore options to keep you safe as you decide your next steps. If you would like to talk more in detail, please reach out to us. You can reach us 24/7 by phone at 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929), or via chat by visiting 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. We are here to listen, here to help.
Stay safe,

I am 16 and i want to run away because my parents want so much that I can't do and all I think about is killing them and feeling greatComment

Hi thank you for reaching out to The National Runaway Safeline. Im sorry that you are going through all of this. These days parents put so much pressure on you. Just know you aren't alone. If you feel comfortable maybe the more appropriate way to go about this is sitting down and calmly talking to your parents. Im sure it can be frustrating but if you are ok with it, it might not be such a bad idea. If that doesn't work for you if you are comfortable talking to another trusted adult, friend, relative, or school counselor that also might not be a bad idea.
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 to you. Best of luck!

Thank you for contacting NRS,
We appreciate your bravery for reaching out to us today. We are sorry to read that your mom has been really hard on you to the point that you do not feel safe or cared for in anyway. She has tried manipulate the situation as you spoke about her not having cancer and that can be very serious things going on at home. We are sorry you are going through all that abuse. Some things we want to address are that if you do not feel safe at the current moment you are welcome to call the cops (911) at any point as you do not feel safe. Secondly please know that we here at NRS would love to help report any abuse going on as you mentioned. We typically report alongside youth so that they have people to lean on during a difficult thing like reporting abuse. Once we report that with you a caseworker would come out a couple days later and check to see how you are doing and determine if you should be removed from your home. Another organization that helps with reporting abuse is called Child Help (www.childhelp.org or by phone: 800-422-4453) they can also assist you with any reports you might want to do.
If you would like to talk more in detail please call or chat soon.

I'm 17 and for the past year of my life I had no freedom at all. I went to a party few times with my friends and drank some alcohol and had a few cigarettes, nothing that isn't normal amongst teenagers. All of my friends parents grounded them for a week or two, but my mom doesn't let me see my friends anymore. She constantly checks my messages and I have to delete them all the time because she would go crazy if she found out I have texted someone with whom I went to parties. I have a friend that is like a brother to me, and I am afraid that our friendship will end if I stay at home and can't have any contact with him. On top of that, she constantly looks at me like she is ashamed that I'm her son, and doesn't let me see my grandma because she knew what I was doing. I thought I'd be grounded for some weeks, but it will be whole year since I didn't have contact with human beings and I HATE IT AT HOME. I am very social person and I like spending time in nature with friends. It is just too hard living with my parents when they always make me feel like I ain't supposed to be their son. I wanted to go from home for a long time now, but I am too afraid I would end up homeless. There is a friend offering me his place to stay at, but I am kind of ashamed to let his parents take care of me until I am 18. What should I do?Comment

Thank you for reaching out to NRS and telling us about what you are going through and what is happening. We know it takes a lot of courage to do so and reaching out is a great step to find resources that may help you.
It sounds like you have been having some challenges with your parents and they are not allowing you to have contact with your friends or Grandma. We know this can be very difficult and understand you’re feeling of wanting to leave home and in need of some options to help support you. There are a few options we can provide, the first and easiest option if you are looking to leave home is to get your parent’s permission to do so, and your friend’s parent’s permission if staying at his home is possible. If there is any matter of concern of safety, you can contact Child Protective Services at childhelp.org or calling 1-800-422-4453. The third option is emancipation and this is often a lengthy and difficult process. Most states require a youth to demonstrate they can support themselves financially. If you are interested in this option you can contact your local court house to find out more information, or NRS can search for legal aid resources so you can obtain advice from a lawyer.
If you would like to explore these options further, please do not hesitate to call us at 1-800-RUNAWAY or chat with us through 1800runaway.org. We are available 24/7 and here to listen and support you anyway we can.
Thank you, NRS

I’m 15 and I have to get out of here.
my parents are not supporting me in my transition. and continuing to dead Name me. It’s really hurting me. I’ve been told that I’m accepted but then I get deadnamed and they use the wrong pronouns on purpose. but Not only that but I’m constantly being told that I’m lazy and don’t try hard enough to have good grades. I get in trouble for everything and my parents are always mad at me.
I JUST NOW GOT A TEXT FROM MY PARENTS SAYING “you can’t post memes with curse words in it” no problem I took it down but then they said that I was “really trying hard to lose my phone” and saying that I did it on purpose.
they threaten to take away my door every time I lock it, but I only lock it cuz they come in when I’m changing without knocking. They have accused me of being in a gang after they found out that I was self harming at the time (I’m not anymore)
They isolate me from my friends when I don’t have good grades. I’ve been sent away for the entire summer after having a bad panic attack and self harming because of it. I’ve been told that my panic attacks are for attention and that my self harming was a phase. And on top of that. My dad is a well known influencer in the area and people are gonna know if I’m gone. Which is the worst of it. I also live very close to my school and I can’t continue to go if I leave. Help?Comment

Hello there,
Thanks for reaching out to us at the National Runaway Safeline. You made a great first step to finding the help that you may need. It sounds like you are going through a lot and the people around you are not being supportive. You deserve to be treated with respect, to experience acceptance and to feel safe.
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”. You’re bravery and resilience is so admirable. You are so strong for having gone through so much without having the acceptance that you do deserve for just being you. Remember that you are not alone. If you ever want to talk more about what you are experiencing or get additional support we are here 24/7 at 1800-RUNAWAY or our live chat service. The GLBT National Hotline at 1888-843-4564 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. You can access their website link bellow to utilize all the other possibly useful resources they have to offer: http://www.glbthotline.org/
You mentioned that you were considering the options that may be best for you. By all means, if you do fear for your safety either now or in the future, do not hesitate to take the necessary steps to regain your safety. This may mean calling the authorities or possibly reporting the things you may be experiencing. Other options to think about may be other family members, friends, or a trusted adults that would be able to provide you with support or a safe place to stay. It is great that you thinking ahead. Should you feel like leaving home is best, it may be a good idea to think about how you will provide necessities for yourself such as food, clothing, showers, healthcare and other basic needs. You may want to also consider how your parent’s will react to you leaving without permission. We are not legal experts here, but typically as a minor (under the age of 1
you need permission from your parents to leave home. It is not illegal to runaway, but it would mean that your parents could file a runaway report with the police. This is usually done in an effort to try to return you home as the police are required to do so.
If you can give us a call at 1-800-RUNAWAY or reach out through Live Chat at www.1800RUNAWAY.org. We can try to find some youth shelters that may be near your city and state by utilizing our database of resources. We can also try to call out to shelters with you or on your behalf to advocate for you.
Stay Strong,

I'm 15 and want to leave the house, i feel as if i am ready but i am just not of age. my parents stress me out and they dont appreciate that i am bisexual. earlier today i got called a "**********", "whore", "faggot", "demon", and more and all because i was not feeling good today, my parents dont drink nor do drugs so they are fully aware of what they are calling me. They are also believed to be religious (very religious) and say that i will go to hell for being "gay", again i am not gay i am bisexual, but even if i do go to hell its my fault not theirs, so i dont know if i am as bad as they are when i say that they need to let me be me. I have been brain washed by the church as well as them, they tell me that it will get better and they are praying for me and that gave me hope to keep living life as best i can, but then talk behind my back and call me every name in the book, not what Christians are supposed to do last i checked. I currently have not phone so i cant contact or call anybody with out them knowing, and i dont have the support i have been getting from the guy i have been talking to nor my cousin that has been helping me get through everything i have been through the last few months, i have nobody trustworthy to talk to. The reason i am seeking help the most tho is because i have tried committing suicide 3 times the past two weeks, and i am tired of feeling like the only way out of this is to just kill myself. please i need all the help i can get. please tell me how i can leave here and still have the shelter, food, water, and comfort needed to live.Comment

Hey there, and thank you for reaching out. We are sorry for what you are going through right now. It sounds like you are suffering through a lot of pain, anguish and isolation, with your parents expressing such hurtful and judgmental things about your sexuality, and you being without your friend and cousin to be there to talk and support you. We can certainly understand how hard it would be to stay there and have to continue to put up with those circumstances – at any age.
You may be right about being ready, but not of age. Leaving the house could be more dangerous than staying. We will try to offer you some suggestions about where you may go for help, but before that, we'd like to discuss the more immediate concern you are raising about suicide. The fact that you have decided that that is not the only way out very encouraging. If you do sink to the point where you feel the need to take your life again, I would urge you to reach out to us again, or to a local hotline, using your computer ( if you don’t have a phone) where you can get direct assistance. The national suicide hotline number is 800-273-8255 or Hopeline, which has phone or text https://www.hopeline-nc.org/. And should you find yourself needing immediate assistance, please contact your local police for support.
If you'd like to talk about other options that might be available to you as far as safe places you might be able to go, please feel free to reach out to us directly by calling 1-800-RUNAWAY, or by chatting with us live at www.1800runaway.org. We're available 24/7 and are always happy to listen, and to help.
Take care.

Hi there,
We are glad you reached out to us for help. It is so difficult to be put in the middle all the time by your Mom. It makes sense you feel hopeless and you don’t want to take it anymore.
You deserve a stable and emotionally stable home environment. We have resources to help you cope with depression and to support you with options. We want to make sure you know it is understandable to have suicidal thoughts dealing with this kind of stress and you have all the support you need to work through that.
You can reach out to us to talk more about your situation through a chat on our website or on our crisis hotline at (800) RUNAWAY. Both are available 24/7 and completely confidential. We would like to go through your options and help you come up with a plan. We can also conference call to the agencies and support programs so we can make sure you have the help you need to support your plan.
We hope to hear from you soon. Good luck.
