should i run away from home?

Question

my family are forcing me to get married b4 im ready. they are turning my world upside down

Answer 1

well you have two options depending on how old you are

1) under 18 speak to someone from social services
2) over 18 try going to a women's refuge centre where they will look after you

but if neither appeal to you then remember that no one on this planet has the right to force a decision upon you which you don't agree with. go and stay with a friend or something until things settle down but whatever you chose to do do not be bullied into doing anything which you do not feel comfortable with. good luck

Answer 2

Wow, sounds like you are in a very difficult situation, I can understand why you would feel that you have to leave if you are being pressured to marry before you are ready. But please think as carefully as you can about your options.

I would like to encourage you to seek assistance from a local youth agency or social services. If you feel you absolutely must run away, is there somewhere you can go; friends or family who can help? If you have nowhere to go but feel you must leave please seek out homelessness services immediately, the shelters they can offer are far from ideal, but should be much better than sleeping on the street.

Sounds like you have a rough road ahead, I hope that you can get through it okay. Good luck!

Answer 3

This is a very hard question, but i think you should just tell them how you feel........Why would you parent want to force you to do something you don't want? I don't think running away will help the problem will still be there when you come back. Good luck

sometimes unexpected things happen fr good :),,,i just make it easy for u,,,u say tat u not ready for marriage,,Y,,b practical,,if tat person is good in most of the things,,ie, job,money, profession,home,nature, little bit of looks which u want in your partner,then say YES n wen u feel hes nt good in any of the imp things then say NO,,if u dont have good reasons to say NO then make up ur mind by thinking those moments which u can enjoy wid ur spouse only,,if u think about ur future married life u'll b willing to marry then,,,after marriage u can concentrate in ur profession,,u would b able to share ur tensions, ideas, wid ur spouse he/she will b there wid u all the time,,d way u need him/her same will b expected from tat side also,,,den slowly n gradually u start enjoying ur life,,But,,if u r in love with sm1 then b with ur love n face all the probs which r temporay,,,Think n Grow,,running away frm bad situations will never make you successful in life after getting everything u still b d Looser

Answer 5

They cannot force you to get married. If your under 18, then call DHS, if over, then just leave. Go to a friends, a shelter, somewhere.

Answer 6

I would recommend you seek counseling at a local Human Resources clinic (most will give free advice and offer assistance).

Answer 7

if you are not ready to be married then it maybe the only answer, if they aren't listening to your worries why would you want to be around them.

there are places you can go and charities that can help.

wish you all the best.

Answer 8

you can always also try to make their lives miserable if they are really harming you, but it should be used only when everything goes really bad, from the other side it is always possible to divorce, but running away from home... i really don't think it's the best way how to get away from your problems..

Answer 9

Try getting a live in job somewhere this way when you leave you have some security.

Answer 10

i think you have to sit your family down and then talk to them and give them as much useful reasons why you can't do that if they do not listen i quess you have to talk to an elderly person you think your family respect such as a pastor etc so he can talk to them for you i hope it works well for you ok bye
