16 and running away to live with my bestfriend

[Guest]

I’m 16 and I just need to get away from home I don’t feel safe here, my whole family if mentally abusive and seriously messed up in the head, I have multiple trauma responses and I have anxiety and depression because of them… I can’t take it anymore I won’t have my emotions stomped on. I can’t ever make my own choices but now I’m going to, I’m running away. The only problem is that I live in Ohio but I’m trying to get to a different part of Ohio by greyhound bus except I don’t have enough money for a ticket.

Hi, we're sorry to hear that your home has been so neglectful of your experience. It sounds like you have been through a lot for a very long time and need to make a change; we're here to support you doing what's right for you as best we can.

We aren't able to provide you with funds for a bus ticket in this circumstance. We could help you look into potential organizations around you that might be able to assist, or at least provide a place to stay until you get the money sorted to purchase a ticket.

Feel free to call us at 1-800-RUNAWAY or live chat us at 1800runaway.org and we can discuss your situation further.
