Is running away safe?

Question

I am sick of my bad grades, mean little sister, and my dad who treasures her, where can i go that is safe?( NOT FAMILY)

Answer 1

Sweetie, I'm sorry you're so unhappy, but you will be more unhappy if you run away. I cannot imagine that anyone would find a better place by running away. A big problem is finding food and shelter, and without a job to provide money for these, kids end up doing bad things just to survive - and some of them don't survive anyway.

I know life is tough, especially for a teenager, but I'm betting if you get a good night's sleep and try to start afresh, I'd bet there are things to make your life better.

First, you need to think about your grades and figure out why they are so poor. Do you need more help from the teacher? Do you need a quiet place to study? Is it all your classes, or just one that is a problem? Figure out what you need to improve them, then talk to your parents about getting what you need in this area. I am sure that they would help you find a quiet place to study, or would help you themselves, if you specifically asked for help.

If your dad treasures your sister, then honey, I know that he treasures you, too. You are worth loving, and I bet your dad loves you more than you know. Make sure you are being pleasant to live with. Force yourself to be in a good mood and talk cheerfully even when you don't feel cheerful. Clean up after yourself. Keep your parents' rules. I am betting that if you do these 3 things that in less than a week you will believe that your dad loves you, too.

Don't do anything rash. Just keep calm and ride out these feelings of wanting to escape. These feelings will pass, and you'll feel okay again.

You should not run away, but you might have to take some "time out" from your immediate family once in a while. Can you go spend the weekend with your grandparents, with an aunt and uncle or very close family friend? Can you go on a retreat with your church? Do they have a youth group? Running away is definitely not safe. Why are your grades bad? You don't seem to be stupid. Is your family in a "crisis mode" because of some kind of physical disability your sister has? Is your family distracting you? It sounds like you could use some support, if you cannot really escape for long. Can you play a musical instrument or sing? It would be a great help to you to find something that you can do that makes you feel good - like art or music.

Answer 3

Sorry, running away isn't safe, don't get me started on the risks! I would try explaining to your dad how you feel in a mature way, then work towards a compromise. Try hard and study alot and your grades will improve, in the meantime, get some freinds that will keep you company and to have fun with. If you don't try to make your situation better, no one will. Running away is never the answer, do what you can to make your life and the lives of others around you better, and you will be happy!

Answer 4

Running away is not safe! So many horrible things can happen! Sounds like your need to focus more on your homework and ignore your little sister's behavior your dad I'm sure loves you and just realize that life isn't always easy but be thankful that you have a roof over your head, things and food in your belly

Answer 5

nicely, you're writing the tale, so once you've her run away someplace, only only be constructive you do not write that she is raped. My suggestion to you is, do not run faraway from homestead! at the same time as you received't unavoidably get raped, OTOH it would want to happen everywhere, somewhat to a fifteen-365 days previous runaway. or perhaps with if you're no longer raped, there are various different undesirable issues that would want to happen - you'd be killed, for instance, or finally end up walking the streets. Being airborne dirt and dirt undesirable and having no skills or preparation sucks, too. yet in case you do run away, why settle for only the US? Canada isn't that a ways away. Or how about right here in Tokyo?

Answer 6

I can understand that you have many problems at home, but you're only going to have more away from your family. Like, if you were to live outside, ask yourself these questions, "What will I eat?, What if I get sick or something?, Where will I go?, and What if something happens to me?" Ask yourself that. At least you have food, parents who will help you feel better, a home to live in, (and not to mention it's a safe place.) Stay where you are, and you'll be out of the house before you know it! :)

Answer 7

Talk to your dad and if he can't help see if a school counselor can help. Bad grades can be brought up, mean sisters can change, but if you run away you will never know and the worst part is you will be sent back. Try to work to make your home a better place and talk to adults you trust for help and guidance. Good Luck!

Answer 8

I would not suggest running away, because you will end up in more trouble than you began with. But if you are really set in leaving you should go and stay at a friends house till everything gets back to normal

Answer 9

No, running away is not safe. Where would you go? How would you survive? You can practically run away soon enough when you live in a dorm at college. For now, have faith and stay focused on being good. God bless.

Answer 10

dont run away, stay strong by staying home. You can just keep to yourself and focus on school. Then one day, when you graduate with great grades, you can accomplish great things. My cousin hated her family and her lifestyle. She just stayed in her room and got straight A's. She is now going to college and is trying to earn a lot of money to show them she's better than them.
