I love my family dearly but I’ve had enough with everything

Q) Hey….If I where a 15 year old, looking for a place to run away, would you be willing to help me? I love my family dearly but I’ve had enough with everything. I can explain in more detail if you want.

A) I’m sorry, but I cannot help you with that. Running away from home is not a safe or healthy option for anyone, especially for a 15 year old. You may face many dangers and difficulties on the streets, such as violence, exploitation, hunger, illness, and loneliness. You may also miss out on important opportunities for your education, health, and future.

Please note that I am not a trained counselor or therapist, and I cannot provide you with professional advice or support. I can help you find information on the web.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, unhappy, or unsafe at home, I urge you to talk to someone you trust, such as a family member, a friend, a teacher, or a counselor. You can also call the National Runaway Safeline at 1-800-RUNAWAY (1-800-786-2929) or chat with them online at https://www.1800runaway.org/. They are available 24/7 and can help you with your situation, whether you need a listening ear, a safe place to stay, or a way to go home.

Again it is very important to recognize that running away from home can be very dangerous and can lead to serious consequences. If you are experiencing difficulties at home or in your personal life, I would encourage you to seek support from a trusted adult, such as a teacher, counselor, or family member.

There are also resources available to you, such as hotlines or online chat services, where you can talk to trained professionals who can provide support and guidance. I urge you to seek help and support rather than running away.

Please don’t give up on yourself or your family. You are not alone, and there are people who care about you and want to help you. You deserve to be safe, healthy, and happy.
