I want to run away from home. Should I?

I'd like to say there is always a situation you don't want to happen but it has to. Abuse at home is in my eyes an excuse to leave, run, go.

From my own personal experience of running away when I was young...I can say that you shouldn't. Running from home can lead to you and others (especially your family) to become anxious and stressed, It just ain't a smart move (until you're old enough to).

It depends on your age, and also if you can, i often feel like running away when life gets to much, but i have learn't to find coping mechanisms. I don't know your situation or what you are going through, but if you can find time for yourself, or able to do some mindfulness, that will help! Don't make a permanent decision based on a temporary emotion!

No. No, you should not. Listen to me: If things are really bad at home, you can call Children's Help Center, or talk to a therapist. You can also see if you can stay with a friend for a while, but living on the streets is NEVER a good option.

No, you shouldn't. Instead, you should call (800) 621-4000 and don't run away without a financial plan. Talk to your parents are it, and make sure you have financial plans before running away; this protects your future as a runaway, so get help before acting, and I understand how you feel.

Consider the consequences. You will be without the luxury of a home, hot food, a warm bed, a roof to keep you dry, etc... Realize the risks before doing so. If you absolutely feel the need to get away from your home you are currently staying in, speak with an adult you are comfortable with. They can help you with you situation.

I don't think so because you have school and where should you stay but the descion is yours to make just make the right one.

It's your choice: You have a family who loves and wants to take care of you, or you can run to nowhere with no one to take care of you. Your community loves you. Don't let anyone tell you different.

no! dear, if you are in a problem,try to face it,running away from problems do not solve them,....!!

I think it's better if you don't. Unless you have abusive parents, even then don't run away, just contact the authorities. And if ur still a teen I would advise not to run away. Running away is never a solution.

You should not. Running away from home can never be a solution to do better in your life. In stead, one needs to try get by their own and have courage enough to speak up and then leave.

If you're a young person and you need refuge from an abusive situation please ask someone you trust to help you. If you're an older person the same would apply of course, but hopefully you won't have the added vulnerability of youth to cope with. I'm a 48 year old woman and I often feel like running away from home. I day dream that I will wipe the slate clean, wake up feeling calm, happy and balanced and find a great job while handily finding a house I can afford to rent. The reality would be far less of a fairy-tale and although I still feel the urge to run and hide I know I can't do it. I try instead to carve a little piece of my home out just for ME and while I haven't quite managed it yet I hope I will in the future.

No, you shouldn't. Running away from your problems looks the easy way out,but it isn't. You should share your problems with someone if you're feeling anxious or nervy.

Running away from home is something I know sounds like an escape from everything going on right now, but you can't do this alone for very long. There's temporary homes and crisis shelters all around that you could run to, it's a safer way to remove yourself from the situation that's driven you to this. If you feel you have no choice but to run away, there are guides and toolkits online that can guide you through doing this as safe as possible, know how to approach emergencies, and use this time to take care of yourself too. This feeling is sometimes a fight or flight response, and keeping up the fight gets exhausting. But your adrenaline is surging, you're full of intrusive thoughts, they will pass - and your feeling that you want to do this is a valid feeling - you are allowed to feel this - but you don't have to do it without help and a safety net. You're allowed to reach out. If you run, stop and take a breather, it's worth it.

Probably not. You shouldn't even consider this unless you've called 911 for serious family stress. If all else fails and your safety is at risk, then perhaps fleeing is the only remaining resort.

no it will worse the situation and you will regret it and will solve nothing , running is not a good idea this world is not that safe and there can be more dangers that you dont even know until you keep a step outside

Are you getting abused? Because if you are you should go to the police or someone you can trust. If you think that your parents don't understand you or you don't like they way they treat you talk to them. Tell them what your going through what your feelings are. It helps to have your parents understand and then maybe you guys could make a compromise!

It shouldn't be your top priority. You must first try to sort things out in a generalized manner. Abandoning one's home is usually an act of rebellion, it could even be of an ambitious drive but whatever your reason might be, please ask yourself if its really something worth taking the risk. Lastly, don't pack your bags and hop on a ride for a hippie kind of trip, plan out everything.

I don't think you should run away. If there are problems going on that need to be addressed immediately, seek professional help such as the authorities. If your family is mean to you in any way, try and find support in people who you know will be capable of being there for you. Even if you have a house to go to if you do run away, if you're underage make sure to check laws in your area about it, because you could be arrested and placed in juvenile detention if your family decides to call the authorities. There's also the matter of food, a more permanent place to live when the person you're staying with is unable to support you any longer, and what you'll do when you run out of options. Plan to leave, but don't run away.

Running away from home is a serious deal. Having ran away from home myself at a young age, I found that by doing that it hurt more people and only made things more worse. It's not like the movies where the parents forgive you automatically. Running away from home I realized was me running away from my problems. I advise anyone who would consider to run away from home, to take some time to think of those you will hurt in the process of running away, and whether or not that is really something you want to risk.

It really depends. You haven't told us anything. One thing I know, there is absolutely no logic to those who assume that you are running away from yourself. Abuse is a real thing and does happen to children. Have you considered talking to the National Runaway Safeline? Just google, "National Runaway Safeline" and their website should be at the top of the list. Then engage in a chat with them and be patient. I recommend doing all of this in an incognito window so that it is private. Tell them your situation in-depth and ask them about other options, what to do to eat if you do run, and ideas for where to sleep and how to not get caught. I firmly believe you could be running away for a real reason and that it could be the right choice, but you need to know if there are other options. Running away is a last resort. It doesn't mean it's not an option, but it should definitely be your last one. If you do run away, I recommend wearing outfits on top of each other for extra heat and more space. And think about what you will need to bring and how you will get out. Good luck to everyone.

If home feels like a house not a home anymore. SEEK for the thing you call home, But always remember, If you love the people that you're going to leave or if the people that you're going to leave loves you, then you should not run away, settle it, talk about it, talk to anyone about your concerns, they can help too.

Everyone feels that way. I felt that way but if I ran away who would I go to? Would I rob banks for money, steal food from stores, or even hurt someone?

You shouldn't run away, even if you're feeling down there is always hope where you are living. You should ask a trusted adult to help, even if it might be help with your problems at home

Running away won't do much. You would have to go back eventually, and then people will be mad at you for leaving them.

That depends upon the reason why you are running away from home, But I think that isn't a good decision, you can seek help from some mature friends or some support agencies to help you with. I think running away from whatever problems you have at home will not put you to a peaceful state regardless of where you'll go.

No you shouldn't.... No matter what the case is running away won't help out the situation you are having.

No,cause running away is not an opinions to solve problems.Try to find an organisation who can help you to find a own place to live

Running away from home will not solve your problems. All running away will do is present a whole new range of problems, some more deadly and distressing then your current ones

Stay where you are and figure out, why you feel the way you feel. Running away from a problem is never the answer. However, if you're living in a violent household, I'd say get away there immediately. If not, stay and see if you can't solve the problem together.
