Hey caroline i know the feeling my mum and i had a falling out! i used to run away too but now i have a baby and if she was ever to run away it would kill me not knowing where she is or if shes ok! If things r that bad tell them how ur feeling if they still continue to be mean stay at a relatives house and get them to ring your parents to let them know your ok! Maybe they need a wake up call, let them know there treating u WRONG but i do strongly suggest running away solves nothing just a whole lota greif...Get another councolor sounds like the 1 u have atm isnt much help if ur still feeling like this....wishing u the best and hope to hear back!

It looks like your telling half of the story. If you are not being totally honest about what your parents are saying then no one can help, not even your counselor. I wonder what you are wearing that your parents would be upset. Is it something that might get other adults wondering "who the parents are..." Parents tell lies by the way, just like teens. A parent may tell a lie to protect themselves from being judged negatively by the counselor. Teens do the same when they lie to their peers to avoid negative judgement. Parents are no better or no worse than teens except that parents are obligated by law and billions of years of evolution to care for thier young, even if not perfectly. Most parents would rather care imperfectly for their own children then just give them to somebody else who might do a better job. This is because your parents love you even if they don't treat you fairly.
The real problem you are seeing is a societal problem. For most of human history- until the 1980'-90's-present, if a teen acted like they wanted to live on thier own, they left the house and moved out, nobody cried about it. If the teen couldnt make it, he/she would go hungry, cold and scared just like an adult would if it happened to them. THis worked for parents as well. The teen would be held as an adult for everthing they do and not the parents. Without the disgruntled teen, there would be less fighting in the house and the household would be much less stressful. It worked for the teen and the parents.
Unfortunately the government doesnt agree and the government is forcing your mom and dad to control you. Your parents are scared of what would happen to them if they lost control over you and you got in trouble. This is the fact of life. As much as you want out and your parents may also want you out, it cant happen because of legal issues.
Try talking to your parents to find out their motivation for trying to control you the way they do. You may find that they are coming down hard on you out of fear of what others may think or do, but otherwise support a person self expressing thier own way. Once you find out where they are coming from, you need to think about how you could meet your parents in the middle while getting more of your needs met. If you act like an adult to your parents, they are ten times more likely to treat you as an adult back. If you decend into a tantrum like a 2 year old- they will treat you like a 2-year old. Dont play the part of temper tantrum terrible twos, play the young brilliant adult mind looking for compromise, it will impress your parents and convince your parents that you are ready for more freedom due to the maturity you are showing. Be patient though. Parents take time to convince, but the time investment will pay off.

Write down how you feel, because I told myself when I was punk that I would NEVER forget what it was like to be a rebel teen and when I had kids, I FORGOT. I can't even relate to my teenager and all we do is fight, if I still ahd my diaries that my ex stolded from me, I would probably be able to read them and remember and it would help me to relate to her and hide them some place were your parents CAN NEVER FIND THEM. Because you know they will read them.
