I’m really sorry things came to point. I think you should call this hotline For Girls and Boys Town. It’s a very respected organization and a good one for runaways. You can talk about anything and they have solutions…

Call With any Problem, Anytime
1-800-448-3000 (TDD 1-800-448-1833)
Open 24 hours a day, everyday

They also operate homes and shelters for abused kids and runaways.

I think you need to go home, talk to your family let them know you love them. And if you think you need help you should seek it for your cutting & bulimia. Try to found out why you do it. Good Luck. Go home and give your dad a hug

This is really traumatic for you - but being honest about your problems was a really important step for you in getting better. You aren’t a freak, you just have problems is all. We all do to one extent or another so don’t feel like an outcast because of that.

Cool down at your friends and eventually go back to your dad and talk about why you ran away. Try telling him that you really need him to be your dad. You need his help and support so it really hurts to have him be dismissive of your problems. It makes you feel abandoned. You can’t go wrong with being honest like that…

you know whatever it is that your going thru, your knot alone! mannny kids just like you are going thur problems. Running away only makes things worst for you. If you start running now, Believe me from personal experience, you will be running for a long time, if not for the rest of your life, you don’t want that. life’s not perfect. but it’s what you make it, and right now your making it worse for yourself.
Call that number boys and girls town, and just tell them whats going on. don’t keep running baby, your family is soo worried right now. Right now a lot of people are wondering if your okay? are you? then let them know just by a phone call, push star 67 if you want, just call. okay? God loves you he will help you thru

Sometimes people say things in anger that they don’t mean. But if you truely believe him maybe you should try a shelter for homeless teens or friends or relatives. And hopefully somewhere down the line you two can settle your differences.

No, sorry I do not, but you do have internet access & thats one of the best tools to find out. Also try your local yellow pages.

You have yourself to live for. We can’t live our lives for or through other people. You can’t get down on yourself for making a mistake, if had a dollar for everytime I disappointed my mom @ age 16 alone, just that one year, I have enough money to send you for your own apartment. But what I’m tring to convey to you is that its not as bad as it seems to be right now. It might seem like the end of the world now but in five years you might look back like wow I really was tripping. Just take some time to think about all possible solutions to your problem, not just the quick fix. Have faith that things will workout for the better. Show a little optimism.

Why do you think you are pregnant? Stress and health problems (possibly related to your bulimia) can cause girls to miss periods. If you suspect you are pregnant because you missed a period, things are actually still uncertain. You should give yourself a home pregnancy test to be certain. Those tests are very accurate.

Of course, you need to see a doctor anyway. While there, mention the pregnancy fear and have the hospital test you. If you mention the fear that your step-dad is the father of your baby, they might be able to get DNA testing. That’s the kind of evidence that would completely nail his butt as the rapist that he is. A DNA test would prove you never lied.

I’m so sorry about everything that is happening to you. All I can say is that this crisis is like the storm that seems to destroy everything but leaves everything cleansed and ready for renewal later.

Go see a doctor. Tell him everything. It doesn’t matter if your dad finds anything out about you being at the hospital. Take care of your health! You can figure out the running away later.
