what do i tell a teenage girl with parents that dont care, and she's gonna run away?

Question

her parents hate her and she told me she is gonna run away i talked to her and told her to calm down but i dont know what to say

Answer 1

get her some help...call child services or the police...

Answer 2

Do they put a roof over her head? Do they feed her? Do they really hate her or is she not getting her way? If they are abusive, then there is a problem and she might need to seek professional help. If she runs away, she won't find love on the streets. It will be worse than living with her parents. Try to make her think out her plan and eventually she will realize how delusional she is being. Does she even know where it is that she is running to?

Answer 3

If she is not being abused physically, and if she is getting food and clothing, she should stay where she is until she is 18 and can get a job and move out. Life on the streets is dangerous for teens. Many kids are killed or get on drugs or are thrust into prostitution on the streets. People try to befriend you and "help" you and end up victimizing teens on the street. Tell her to re-think her running away. IF, however, she is actually being abused, take her to her school guidance counselor or teacher or pastor/priest and get her some place safe to go.

Answer 4

how are you sure her parents hate her? is it just from word of mouth of the girl? im sure theres no way her parents can hate her , maybe they are just going thru a tough time and shes exaggerating her problems. But either way , if the girl is wanting to run away you should remind her of all the good times shes had with her family or how hard it would be for her to make it on her own, shed have no money no food no shelter and be wondering the streets with no future and is that really the life that she wants for herself

Answer 5

Did her parents say they hated her...or is this being fed to you through her....who thinks her parents hate her because she dosent understand they try to protect her. If they truly hate her and they told you this, then make sure she has a safe place to go, with a family member that is close to her, (not with you)

If you didnt hear this from her parents, YOU dont need to do anything, you need to ask your parents to go speak with hers to try to amke sure that everything is worked out and she doesnt do something that may get her hurt if she runs away.

Answer 6

.Tell her that you care. Tell her that she can talk to you, anytime. Many parents are unfit...they don't have a clue how to raise children! She does need a roof over her head. If there is absolutely no family or friends that can provide that roof, tell her to to give herself time to grow up, get older, get more education. Be wiser than her parents!! Follow their rules even if they seem unreasonable, time is what she needs!!! Get this point across to her! The streets are rough, full of derelicts, drunks, molesters...people much worse than her parents. These young girls turn to prostitution and the like, they are used and abused. Get this point across to her! If she can learn a skill, even babysitting, she can become a nanny or work in a retirement home, or a pre-school. These areas only require someone who cares. This will give her time to grow up! I babysat, learned the computer, sales seem to be a natural...I ended working for a private touring company in a resort town. In my early years, like her, my homelife was less than perfect. I waited, watched, biding my time and in many ways, had to re-raise myself. We are born into families that are often crazy or not too bright. It is very important for her to have someone to talk to. You or possibly a school counselor. She needs to know that someone has affection...someone cares for her. I don't know her parents..it's possible they really are concerned for her and are giving her house rules she doesn't like. If you're only hearing her side of the story, it could be slanted in her favor.
Stay as close as she will allow, give her an encouraging hug and never tire of telling her to give it time. There are "missing" young girls lining shallow graves (put there my some monster) they too thought they had it rough at home! It's all so sad. Our world needs lots of growing up! Good luck to you both!

Answer 7

Be there for your friend, let her know of some shelters in your area...look in the phone book, ask your parents if she could talk to them, see if she has somewhere to go.
It is NOT safe on the streets these days, I hope that she can go to someone and talk,
I think you should talk to your parents and see if they would let her talk to them and if there is something that you as a family could do to help her.
Rember that you can not help someone that dose not want to help themselfs.

Answer 8

tell her that if shes under 18 and plans to run away shes gonna regret it and probably get caught!!! oh and maybe her parents dont hate her , but maybe shes the one that doesnt want to go by the rules!!

Answer 9

Tell her to grow up! Her parents probably don't hate her.. shes probably just depressed. Life is too short to run away from problems

Answer 10

you should tell her that her parents dont hate her and that running away would be a terrible thing to do. you can also suggest her to move in with other family members that she likes

Answer 11

first of all how do you know that her parents hate her, if that is what "she" told you maybe it isn't true, i think her parents and school counselor would be 2 good places to start. running away never solves anything , it only compounds it.
