I can't stand life at home anymore. My parents are always paying attention to my little sister, even thoughs he is already eleven. My little sister will do something and blame it on me, and I will get in trouble. My older sister hates me for no reason, and my parents don't even notice me. I have two real friends, and on of then lives four hours away! Now my parents want to move back to Delaware, and I hate it there! I like it here in Virginia! My best friend in the whole entire world lives here, and he is the only one who really know what I am about and he is the only person that cares about me in the world. None of my family lives down here except my immediate family...my parents and siblings. I just want to get away from all of them. I try so hard to please them, and they treat me like dirt! Well, that is what is feels like anyway. I put on a fake smile everyday, and everybody thinks I am as happy as can be at school...except for my best friend, Sean. I have even thought about

suicice, but that would just be dumb. I know I am only thirteen, but I want to at least give myself an oppurtunity to succeed in life. I can't where I am. I want to run away. What do I do? Should I run away? I have already packed a bag, and I can find a place to stay. I know where I can stay. Please help me! Who do I go to? What do I do? I just want to yell and scream and run! I don't know what to do! I feel like bursting into tears, and I just want someone to love me. I just want someone to come up and give me a hug and say, "It's be all right, Erika. Everything is all right." Please help me!

I mean just for a little bit...not forever. Maybe like a month or two. I just want to get away from it for a while...all I want to do is explore the world...I have no idea what to do!

You really shouldn't run away, but you could consider talking to one of your parents alone. Say, maybe you could talk to a school counselor and then have the counselor approach your parents with you.

Okay, no is the answer. I was abandoned when I was 15...I'd give anything to go back home. I've met A TON of people who lived on the street and got prostituted because they simply ran away from home. I'm 20 now, I've given my life to Christ, and realized A LOT. One thing I can tell you is this: as much as this seems like the end of the world...it's not. Killing yourself will land you into hell, so that's dumb, and it's dumb anyway! I didn't hear you mention one thing wrong that you did either. Now I am sure that things are not easy when you are not paid attention to..but it's selfish to always want attention. Instead, see what you can do to help! Be submissive to your parents and obey them. If you are fully respecting them, obeying everything they tell you to do, and not having attitudes, then you may have an issue. Chances are your parents are paying your older and young siblings more attention because it's needed. I seriously doubt their love for you has changed. You can email me back and I am more than willing to talk with you, help you out, etc...but the decisions that you are contemplating are irrational. Chill out, calm down, and BE THANKFUL for your parents and siblings.

OK, take a breath. 13 is an awful age, no matter what anybody says. Suicide is right out, and you know that. So don't bring it up because it's just going to make you sound weak. And don't talk about running away because, while it will get you attention, it won't be the kind of attention you'll want.
If your parents have tuned you out, find a way to tune them back in, but be positive. Maybe there's a counselor at school who could suggest a way to capitalize on your assets. Maybe you're good at drama and could be in a play. Maybe you're a musician, a debater, a mentor for younger kids, a dancer, a mechanic...the list is endless. Pick something you're good at and talk to a teacher or counselor, your principal if you have to. They live to plug kids into what they're good at. They'll help you find something you love.
Here's the main thing: if your family isn't giving you what you need, go find it someplace else, but stay at the same address. You can engage in lots of school activities or stuff at a nearby rec center, church or library. Spend your time there, earning credit that will help you get into a good college and out of your parents' house for good. Come home for meals and clean clothes, but you don't have to spend lots of time there.
Your first inclination was correct: don't do anything that will mess up your future. But don't waste your emotion on people who aren't there for you. You are stronger than you think. You'll do well. I wish you the best.

I had the same problem growning up I myself was a middle child. It will get better in time don't run away. If you do that then you will just run from any challenges in life that it may throw at you. You can always make new friends if you move back and friends are friends for life so your best friend will still be there for you just in a different state.

well...you do have a friend that seems to love you very much and you probably should talk to you parents about how you feel and if you think that running away is the solution then well all i can say is you learn from your mistakes.
im 13 too and i have a lot of worse things going on but i have friends who support me and it looks like you do too all i do is just hope that one day it will be better and theres nothing i can really do but just think of who you will hurt if you run away...trust me i thought about it too but look if you ever need someone to talk to im here ok! dont worry. think about you'll be drivin soon :) just have fun with your friends and dont worry about life.
best to ya!!!

Running away is not the solution. Talk to a counsellor at school.You are growing up and feeling blue is normal at this stage. Be thinking of you.

Growing up is tough but being grown up is even tougher. Can you talk to your mom at all? Don't forget to pray.
