what would you do if you were a teenager with an overcontrolling..?

Question

what would you do if you were a teenager with an overcontrolling mom, and step dad. Sereously, i'm not talking about not letttin you use a cell phone and ect. I mean like not even letting me talk to my own family. Not my sisters, dad or brother. Plus i can rarely go out, and my own mom jacks my money. I'm really thinkin bout running away. Do you have any advise?

Answer 1

My mother was the same way. I ran away, but I advise you to stay in school you can't get anywhere without education. Make sure if you run away you have the right paper work like emancipation.

Answer 2

How old are you? Why don't they let you talk to the rest of your family? Have you tried talking to them about how this makes you feel? Why don't they let you go out and why do they take your money? Do you do anything that adds to the problem? Don't get me wrong, I am not blaming you. I'm just trying to understand. My advice is to stay put and focus on your education. Use the time you are at home to study, study, study. If you run away your life will become far worse than you can ever expect. How will you realistically finish school, support yourself, etc? Are they hurting you so badly that you have to leave for your safety? Please understand that although your situation may seem bleak now it will be better when you are old enough to leave home. If you leave now before you have graduated you will only hurt yourself. Talk to your parents and tell them how you feel. Is there any chance that you can live with your dad and the rest of your siblings? Borrow a friends phone and find a way to call him. If this doesn't work, talk to your school counselor and tell them everything. They may be able to help you. Whatever you do, please stay in school. My parents were very strict and although I wanted to run away I stuck with it, got a good education and went to college. If I had run away, who knows what would have become of my life. Wouldn't you rather miss out on things now and make choices that will allow you to do what you want in the future? I really do understand and wish you the best of luck!

Answer 3

Running away is never the answer, young girls who run away usually end up either dead or prostitutes, I am sure you do not want to be either of those. As a parent I am guessing there is more to this then what you are telling us, but I could be wrong. Do they treat your brothers and sisters this way? If so, then it could be a parenting issue and you should bring it up to the school counselor. If it is just you that they treat this way, try to figure out what you are doing to cause it. You can discuss it with your counselor either way, but some of the problem may lie in the way you treat your parents or in your attitude. I am not saying this is the case because I do not know you or your parents, just a possibility.

Answer 4

Are you physically mentally being hurt?

If yes, social services can place you in foster home. You need to tell a teacher, priest/minister, or adult family member that you want in foster care.
---------------------------
Running away:
Where would you go if you ran away? (Brothers, Sisters?)

What would you do if you ran away? (School, Work, Religion)

How would you support yourself, if you ran away? (Sponge off Brother, McDonalds, or scary other stuff?)

What goals are you giving up (if you ran away) (College, Cars, home, family)

Who would miss you?

-----------------------------
Staying where you are:
What compromises can you & your mom make?
What goals (short & long term) can you focus on?

Answer 5

Well you might want to seek Emancipation I don't know but you have to find out if it is worth it to you. Good luck, I left home at an early age also, but stay in school!

Answer 6

If you would run away wait until your eighteen and sign up for the military at least then you won't be homeless.
