Break up

[Unregistered]

I'm 14 and i'm sure you think I'm "too young" to be in love but I am in love. My ex broke up with me yesterday after 5 months of being together and I don't know what to do. I keep crying, which is normal but I want to die. We planned our whole life together and he just threw it all away. Now I'm running away, praying for a car to hit me because I can't do this. The only person who knows I'm running away is my ex and when I told him, he said he had to go. I can't do live anymore.

RE: Break up

Hello there -

Thank you for contacting the National Runaway Safeline. It sounds like you are having a very hard time with your relationship ending. Breakups are not easy and can be extremely painful. It is completely understandable that you are experiencing these kind of feelings and want to get away to try and escape the pain.

Sometimes when you are dealing with situations that you feel you cannot control, it is best to talk to someone about what is going on. Parents, friends, and family members are all great people to talk to for support and guidance. If there is no one you can trust, a school counselor is also a great person you can turn to for support. If your suicidal thoughts continue, we recommend calling the National Suicide hotline at 1-800-273-TALK. This hotline can also provide you any support you may need and help you deal with what is going on and your thoughts of wanting to end your life. If you feel that you are at risk if seriously hurting yourself, feel free to reach out to your local police to come check on your safety.

If you decide to definitely runaway, we recommend having a plan to make sure that you stay as safe as possible when you do. It is always good to know where you are going, how you will get there, and how you will survive once you arrive. It is also great to have a backup plan in case things don’t go as planned.

If you want someone to talk to about how you are feeling and what running away could like, you can call us at 1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929). We would love to talk to you about what is going on and help you come up with a plan on how to deal with it. If talking on the phone makes you uncomfortable, you could also talk to us through our online chat services. The chat services are available through our website www.1800runaway.org, and are available all week from 4:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.

We wish you the best of luck and hope to hear from you soon.
