What makes you feel like you don't belong?
You are 13, you have a lot of growing and learning to do.
I think you should find a counselor to talk to about your feelings. If you don't feel like you can talk with your family, an unbiased third party is the way to go.
Maybe a school counselor or a church pastor.
Whatever you decide to do, remember to get guidance. You are very young and decisions you make now can and will effect the rest of your life.

Everybody feels like they don't belong in some point in their lives; I know I did when I was about your age. I understand your feelings, but no matter how hard you try you can't escape your past. But it is okay; your past is there for you to learn from, so you can grow into a smarter, wiser adult. It's just something that you go through. It will get better with time, just hang in there. Talking to somebody isn't a bad idea though. You're 13, you're still growing and you're still learning. If you suppress your feelings now, it will hurt you later on in your life. You need to find a healthy way to handle your feelings. You can talk to your parents, or friends, or a teacher, a counselor, a pastor, or even a doctor. But you should definitley talk to God; He can help you through this hard time.

I do not think anyone can honestly answer your question without more info. 13 is such a tough age, it's hard to know what to do from day to day. If you have people you can go to, then go to them and talk. If your biggest problem is that your curfew is too early or you mom won't let you wear the new hip hugging jeans, then you really will be ok. If your problem is more serious, then you do need to talk it out with someone you trust. Just know that things do get easier. You just have to remember that this is your first time being a teenager, so you need to figure some things out. Good luck...

If you're only 13 and there's nothing massively wrong with your family (they abuse you physically or sexually, they are addicted to drugs, etc.) then you need to stay with them.
At 13 you're only beginning to discover who you really are. It's natural to feel like you don't belong. Every teenager feels that way, yes, even the popular ones.
Nobody is going to care for you and love you the way your family does. Nobody will have your best interests at heart the way your family does.
My advice is to hang in there because guess what. You'll feel like you belong even less anywhere else.

You know, it's funny, when I was your age, my dad said "these are the best days of your life" and I replied, "if these are the best days of my life, then I want to jump off a mountain". I used to tell my kids - teenage years are horrible...... but know that the best years are coming.... when you hit 18, 19, 20, and then.... wow - it all takes off. Don't do anything stupid. If there is a true abuse, by all means, report it and get out of there. If not - it gets waaaayyy better.

I guess it kinda depends on your situation and why you feel like you need to escape. If things are really bad and you don't think you can handle it than i would think and talk about it to people and then go on from there..Sometimes it's best to break away and start fresh.
