I've been in trouble for three years now.
And it's killing me.. literally.
I've made the same mistakes over and over again.
I claim I've learned from my past...
But apparently, I haven't.
My grandparents would REALLY worry if I ran away.
But thats pretty much it.
I want to leave, but where?
When? How?
How can I escape this misery?
I don't feel like facing my problems again. I'm only 15...
Call me a coward... I don't care.
What should I do?

You're growing up; you feel you need your own space. I have been in trouble for a lot longer than you, and it still hasn't killed me. You sound like you may end up making another mistake. You need to set up an escape plan. Options: contact family friends, counselors, etc. Focus: Fine a legal way to make money and build an account so you can make a move. Destination: Figure out where you want to be based on weather, career, etc. You can even make money studying, if you apply for the programs.



WARNING: Your mission, should you decide to take it, will not be easy. Your leaving home doesn't mean everything is going to be OK. There are always going to be problems. Maybe it's better that those problems are with your family for a while longer. After you're 18, at least you won't have to worry about them sending the cops for you.

No you shouldn't run away. You're fifteen. It won't end well. You won't be escaping any misery; you'll be running, flailing, and screaming towards a giant mountain of misery. You cannot possibly take care of yourself and you have little if any understanding on how the real world works. I don't mean that to be an insult but it's honestly true.



Stay where you are and learn how to cope. Things are going to drastically change within the next five years. Who you are will change. What you want out of life will change. How you understand the world around you will change. More than likely.. what's happening now will have ZERO importance to you when you reach your twenties. I know you can't understand that right now but you will.. in five years.

You could leave if that's what you really want to do; to a friends house or something. And if you ever need/want to go back, your grandparents will probably welcome you back with open hands as long as they love you( which I'm sure they do). But I think you should think of all the responsibilities you will have such as money/food/staying healthy/staying safe. You said that "My grandparents would really worry if I ran away. But that's pretty much it." but It's not just that. I think you should also think about what your grandparents would feel/think if you were in their shoes, before you do.

If you have even the slightest feeling of not wanting to run away, but still feel restless, you should try talking to your friends about it, and not just the same gender. Just let it all out.



Good Luck!

Never run away from home. The world is a dangerous place. Trust this old one-eyed fatman! ;-)

You don't say what your "trouble" is and that makes an answer difficult.But surely you can find a school counselor, an adult friend or even your parents to talk to? Many times the problems we feel are so terrible today are just temporary bumps in the road of life. Give it some time. Remember, "As long as they can't eat you, then who cares?"

Hey, Girl, i want you to LISTEN to me. okay? please. I've been there. I've been on the brink of destruction. I've had moments of my life, that not only did i want to run away, but i wanted to end my life altogether. But let me tell you something. I'm GLAD i didn't. Life, no matter HOW BAD it can be right now, will ALWAYS get better in the long run. problems, although bad, do fade away over time. Your no coward, you've just had enough with your problems. But DON'T do something you'd regret.... You just need someone to talk to. I wish i knew more about your problems, i could help you myself. But... i don't.... so i cant...





If you EVER need someone to talk to, IM me on aim (screen name is halojo117) (dont worry, im 17 (today actually! :) ) not some 50 year old pedo. and, if you dont feel comfortable talking to ME... then get out there and talk to SOMEONE. weather its a close friend, a counselor, even a GUIDANCE counselor at school, or a teacher. Just talk your problems out. trust me. it will get better.

Life is full of obstacles, some we create and some that are just part of it. Running away means your running to something better...are you?

Usually not, because the same troubles follow us until we stand toe to toe and confront them.

you have to face it face it now because you will grow stronger each time you do. Dying is not an option at your age.

Try to do something beyond what you think you can do, start small and you'll discover your alot stronger than you thought, even at 15.

good luck

Is there any loved ones member you'll be able to believe? An uncle, aunt or perhaps a grandparent? Yes, I felt this manner commonly while I used to be nonetheless at residence. It is ordinary. In previous centuries, youngsters left residence, grew to become adults and went to paintings at age 12 or thirteen or more youthful. Society and mother and father placed regulations on us that do not appear reasonable, and commonly aren't reasonable. Please attempt to pass on your university counselor or any person in university that you simply would believe could concentrate; or a church chief or member; commonly a clergyman will concentrate and aid despite the fact that a few men and women will chortle at this thought; or seem on the web or the telephone booklet for 'hotlines' on your usual discipline that anonymously aid with young adults.

no. your gparents sound like they care.



sounds like you need to get a grip on reality and get through high school first.



i know what it's like to have to struggle. forget about everyone else and focus on you and how to improve yourself and make it to where you want to go. and have fun.
