Well not really run away, but my parents hate each other and my mom gets mad about every little thing. I was thinking maybe I could go to Mexico. tell my parents to send me there. Just for like 6 months so I can gey away from them because I feel like If I stay here any longer I will get really sad and depressed and what not. What do you think about this?

I've been there before. That's when friends become really inportant! I recently posted a question titled "what do you do when living hurts!". Life is hard but you get over it. Things get worse before they get better! Trust me!

You're not thinking clearly.
What is in Mexico but a hard time? You clearly have no money except what your parents give you ("tell my parents to send me there.") Grow up.
If you really must leave at least stay in the U.S. where you have a chance. Better yet, stick it out; life is really hard and the fact that you are "sad and depressed" is not life threatening. If you are in physical danger then that's another story and you need to call a shelter, church, or friend (who is an adult) and get help.
Good luck! Don't forget to smile once in awhile; it'll help. :)
Please keep in mind that I am NOT a professional counselor.

No, please don't run away. That is not the answer. They may hate each other, but they both love you very much. Instead of Mexico, ask them if you can go to a friend's or family member's house. My mom and dad hate each other as well, but after so long, I got used to it. Talk to your mom or dad. If so, go to a family therapist. But running away won't solve anything. Talk to them. If you have to, have the family seek professional help. They also need to think about you, and what you are going through. You are suffering because of that. They need to know that.

I don't think running away or leaving home will fix the matter, because who is to say your parents will change in the time you are gone. If you really need to leave, I would suggest staying a bit closer to home, maybe with some relatives. The best thing would probably be to get your parents to change, maybe through family counseling.

Have you told your parents how you feel? Sometimes being honest and open is the best thing. My parents were the same way and I left home when I was 17. Trust me it is not the answer. If you can't talk to your parents find someone you trust to talk to. It does wonders. I can tell you are a strong person it may be tough, but you will get through this. Learn from their mistakes.

When your parents fight it can really hurt. Don't run away. Why don't you let your parents sit down and you can talk to them to make some changes. It's not healthy for you or them. You might not want to talk to them because it might help tons or a bit. Make some changes and settle differences. Why don't you talk them into counseling. Running away from the problem won't do any good. Every time they fight try sitting them down and talk about what they are fighting about. Sometimes they could be fighting about the stupidest things and you don't know it. If you talk to them both I bet you will make progress at getting you're parents to solve their diffuculties. Good Luck. I hope I helped.

I think you need to realize that if they are miserable it not your fault and not a reflection on you. When I was young I used to have the same thoughts...but really all you need to do is get busy.....join some clubs at school whatever...just fill your time with other things and keep reminding yourself that you will be out on your own soon enough. Besides...why would you want to go to Mexico? Even the locals don't want to be there, hence all the illegals in our country...

Don't run away!!!!!!!!!!!! that would only make it worse, you parents will get mad and think that you don't love them which could lead to other problems.
I feel the same sometimes. Like the only way to get out of your house is to run way. this summer i took summer school to get out of the house. Ma bey you should get a job or do something that will keep you out of you house and keep you from thinking about it so much! I am 14 and i know what it feels like!

No, do not run away. Even if you get depressed sometimes you shouldn't run away. Because you have a mom to take care of you and food and water. Think about it. I had that experience before

At least don't go to Mexico, it's horrible down there. If you have any relatives around see if you can go stay with them for awhile. If not, maybe you have a good friend that has a extra room for you.
Whatever happens I wish you luck.

Well, going to Mexico is a little overdoing it, but u should ask to stay at a family members place or a friends (after checking with tht friend and thier parents).
