You mentioned that your parents mentally abuse you. Please know that you deserve to be treated kindly by your parents. It sounds like you care about your brother. You wrote that you are thinking about running away from home. Sometimes it can be helpful to talk to a family member (aunt, uncle, grandparent) about what is happening at home to see if they can help. Oftentimes, schools have resources available to help students as well, such as counselors, social workers, psychologists, student resource officers, and teachers. We are very proud of you for reaching out to us for help – that takes a lot of strength and courage. If you would like to talk more about your situation, please call us at 1-800-RUNAWAY.
