oh man i am feeling you. Its sucks being 14 right.. hell its sucks being a teenager. Life will get so much better as you get older and can make more of your own choices. Hang in there ok. Please? If you are sad a lot maybe you are depressed. and the throwing up dude. thats not so good. try not to hurt yourself you are a good person and you will be happy again. You could ring one of those lines like counselling lines and just say how you feel. Or talk to someone you trust..remember you are important and you are sweet and wonderful and anyone who says different is a tosser. Ride it out i did and i survived and i lived in hell for years and yeah i had to heal alot and that sucked but i am ok now and if you just believe in and love yourself(its sounds sappy) then you should be ok.

I think wanting to run away is a normal feeling for tons of people. I know I felt that way for years. As soon as I could, I got away from home. Of course that required a plan, some money, and a job. Smart thing to do is just finish school, come up with some kinda plan, then get the heck outta dodge. It's always nice to have a place to go and some goal to shoot for. The world's a big place with lots of stuff to see and do, but also lots of traps and people who just want to ruin your life.

You need to go to your school counselor or an adult you really trust (besides your parents) and ask them for help seeking help.
What ever you do, do not run away. It won't be worth it. Just because you feel depressed at a young age, doesnt mean you should do something dramatic like run away.
The most logical thing to do is go to your school's counselor. I know its weird going to an adult you never talk to.
Or you can look in a phone book and look under counselors and find a teenage crisis counseling hotline and seek help.
PS
You sound like you are depressed. That is why i think you should go see a counselor or a psyciatrist.

Thinking that running away from your home and your problems is not going to solve your problems, it is only going to make them worse. You may think that throwing up when stressed out will give you some control of your life but it DOES NOT...trust me, it will only sink you in a deeper hole/depression. Alot of teens think their parents could never understand where they are comming from, but you might be suprised, sitting down and talking to them about your feelings could bring you closer and help you understand each other better. If not your parents, you should really talk to someone who can try to help you through this rough time, like a teacher or counselor. You have your whole life ahead of you, and although you may feel alone you are not alone! talk to someone, they may just help you feel happy again...keep your head up, you're worth it!

I felt the same way at your age, but I realized I really couldn't make it on my own at that age, and that I'd rather stick it out with what I had than to run away and fail at that. I bided my time, took care of myself, and eventually got out on my own in a realistic way.
By all means, talk to some people, some grownups if you want, complain, moan, bleed off some steam, but above all, make preps for having a good life of your own. I know it seems like a long time, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not. You'll get there if you stay focused on your goals.

Yeah, run away....because you would rather suck some guy's thingy to get money for food & rent than stay & DEAL with your HORRIBLE family!
To me, that isn't even a contest. Your parents CARE about you-no matter WHAT you think!
Honey, at age 14, you are still a child, yet you want to be a grown-up. But running away is going to make you face WAY more grown-up stuff than you can handle!
Tell your parents how confused you are, and ask them to let you see a counselor. If they WON'T let you, get one through school!
Trust me-----what you are living is MUCH better than a life on the streets!

Running away wont help. It just gets harder. Belive me! One of my friends left home at 15 and she has been in foster homes ever since. Because of this fact she has no permanent location and has lost contact with most of her good friends.
If you have a problem with your family either 'confront' them about it. Though when doing so please remember to be polite. Either that or just wait until the morning/tomorrow. You'll feel better by then. Trust me ^_~
Hope that helps.

If you feel that you can't talk to your parents, then go and talk to your pastor or someone at school that you trust. Please don't run away this will not accomplish anything.
