why do you want to run away?

What is going on that you need to get away? Maybe we can figure out a way for you to be safe with out having to run away.

Hello hun. I understand you must be feeling scared and we’d like to help you.

Can you tell us a little more about your situation? Then we can get the best advice to you.

If you feel you are in danger and need to get away fast, we can find you some help.

running away is not something you should do or will do you any good…but taking some time off visiting a friend maybe but dont run away not when your so young….and would be helpful for us to give us some more info…we are all here to listen to you and try to help you

It doesn’t matter whether posters respond or not. A post like this is always worth responding to because someone else out there might be feeling just the same and not feeling brave enough to ask for help. Our responses can still be helpful to someone somewhere.

Yes, we need more information. As previously mentioned, why are you running away, etc?

Hi there anonymous.

Can you tell us more about the safe place you have, that you can go to?

thank you all for posting help. i didnt actually think anyone would respond. now everyones like “we need more information” so ill try my best..
-im leaving for many reasons. bad stuff happening at school, bad stuff happening at home.i have no friends where i am and my family just doesnt give a ****. im doing drugs and just getting really deppresed here. i want to “start fresh” where no one really knows my past.
-i have about $400 saved up. ive been thinking about this for ages and im finally doing it.
-i’ll be 15 soon and where i am, the police cant legally bring you back to your parents at 15.
-her mom cant know because a while ago we had all discussed me moving there. **** went down, it got called off. cant happen.

thanks for the links mumstheword, theyve helped.
thanks everyonee.

I hope things turn out better for you in the future, it looks like you have made your mind up, about this problem.
I cant agree it is the best thing for you to do. That might be unlawfull for me to do.
I do wish you the best with any descition you make and hope it is the right one.

thanks. i hope they do too, haha.

Good luck Anonymous.

cant say im not scared off my *** about it, but i think itll make everything better in the long run.

I’m so glad you came back to read the help notices Anonymous. Keep those numbers I gave you safe and don’t lose them. Use them anytime you need to. Keep on using them until everything that needs to be sorted is sorted.

The fact that you acknowledge to us that you are using drugs is a huge step forward. I admire you for wanting to start afresh.

I wish you well in whatever you have decided to do. If you can, take a day or two to talk some more and think things through very carefully before making a final decision on whether to move out.

Stay in touch and keep safe. x

good luck, survive, grow, enrich your new life with new (positive) experiences and people that will make you a better person. shut out all negative people and actions and become what you believe you can be. you’ve already found some of those positive influences here on a random website, there are more of us out there, seek us out (carefully). good luck my young friend

first, do you know where you will run to? you have to be prepared if you’d want to go becoz your life is threatened. i’d suggest you find a non-for-profit organization, such as church, for a refuge so that you can be safe and your well being is taken care of. a lot of people run away and end up worse since they run to a wrong person, wrong place. make sure you run to the right place, to persons that care for you and your well being, again such as a church or other non for profit org.
second, i think you need to be more specific on why you should run. if it is due to personality clash within family or something in that nature, it is solvable and proper and healthy discussions may do it. however, if you experience any abuse from whoever within your house, you should disclose that to the law enforcers and seek refuge from a non-for-profit organization.
where in us exactly do you live?
dont kill yourself cuz your life worth a lot more and there are more to this life than what you experience now. things will get better.
keep in touch and keep us updated. we really care for you and i’d be praying for you.

I agree arnold. If you feel the need to leave, find a safe place to go. $400.00 is going to run out fast. Faster then you can imagine. You do not want to end up on the streets.

Did you try calling that runaway hot line? The one on the link mumstheword gave you? It seems like they would be able to give you good advise, they are familiar with situations like yours.

It’s a easy number to remember. 1-800-999-9999.

The best of luck to you.

Hello lonelyelpis.

If you need someone to talk to… just ask. All the people who replied on this post are good people and willing to listen.

Did you see the answers and advice we gave to this person about running away?

If you are in the USA, the numbers and websites are just right for you too. Even if you are not, it is worth looking at the website because there are ideas there to help you work things out.

If you want a link to a better website, just let me know which country you are in and I’ll find something helpful for you.

Good luck1

i know how you feel! i just want to run away from home or wag school, im 13 & im sick of life & want to kill myself
xx plz have a talk too mii :)

Katrina, Why don’t you make a post so people can give you some ideas on what is best for you to do.
Why are some of the reasons you ended up leaving the different foster homes?

Running away from your problems does not work. Your problems will follow you. The only way to have a happier life is to face your problems and work through them. Sorry counseling is not helping for you. I have been to therapist and they were very helpful for me.

I do not know you or enough about you to be very helpful. Write a little more about how you are feeling and a little more on your life story. Have you been abused? What is so bad right now that you want to run away?

hey im 14 too n wana runaway

Francis, we all have those feeling occasionally and it will pass. Hang in there and take care!
