Me and my parents always argue. I know they are stupid reasons, but the arguments turn really big and i get frustrated and angry with them. I want to run away to my friends, shes only round the corner and i would stay there, but her mum is my mums best friend. Its annoying me now because i keep wanting to do it, and i want to be with my friend. I know we would argue, but i just want to go. I can't be bothered arguing any more. What do i do?

Unfortunaltely, you're probably too young to just run away and join the circus, merchant marine, navy, or Forgein Legion.

You didn't say how old you are or what the arguments are about, but I suspect you are entering adolescence; you want to start making some of your own descissions about your life, but your parents aren't ready to stop thinking of you as a child. You are not alone this is almost universal problem! Even though you probably think your parents are telling you what to do and when to do it just to annoy you, they are really trying to keep you 1] out of jail 2] from getting killed 3] make sure you get through school so you you don't wind up a homeless person, etc etc.

If you can demonstrate that you can be trusted with simple things like showing up when you say you will, getting homework done, taking care of you belongings keeping your room picked up (without constantly being reminded) etc, they may start trusting you with more important descissions. Good luck!

Your age obviously is a big factor in your decision and you didn't mention it. Are you under 16?

Parents and teenagers will always argue. It is a part of life. You are probably at the age where you feel your life is yours and they still feel your life is theirs. The truth is that it is a little of both. They are still responsible for you financially and legally. As much as you hate to argue, nothing will be solved by running away to your friends house down the street. In fact, it may take away some of your credibility as a young adult.

The mature thing to do would be to sit and discuss your issues with your parents, but you do have to remember that your parents are armed with a very powerful weapon that you would be wise to take advantage of.....experience. Believe it or not, your parents have gone through most of the things you have as well and they have come out the other side with the knowledge of what works and what doesn't. Take advantage of their wisdom and experience. Your parents are going to be the people at this point in your life that are really thinking about what is best for you....and not what is more fun now.

Runing away would cause a lot more problems than you want and in the end it will cause things between you and your parents to get worse. I don't know the details to what type of problems you and your parents have so all I can say is if it isn't too bad just try to sit and talk with them about it and tell them how it makes you feel.

you please tell me why run away why do teens do this to their parents???
your mom and dad love you and support you so you have to follow rules do chores and keep up with your work
would you rather they not care at all about you!?!?
My daughter "ran away" next door to her grandmas house
i had come home from work and she had gone out threw the window when i went to get her to bring her home she refused
and then called the cops on me she said it was her choice and she could live where ever she wanted
and that she was not going home
the cops allowed me to get her out of my moms house because she is a minor i am her parent and
she has no say yet
she was pissed to say the least we fought for what seemed to be hours then the next day she was so sorry
yeah right i now do not trust my daughter
and she is in allot of trouble took her cell phone away and
everything else she cant live with out
I am now putting her in counseling
so i guess my point is deal with your family and don't make your family issues everyone Else's!
your parents will always be there for you
and don't put your BF and her mom in the middle of your DRAMA because you don't get your way
why don't you focus on school instead of trying to destroy your family and tear them apart!!!!

I don't think you should runaway. I know parents can be difficult sometimes, but, when it boils down to it most parents have your best interest at heart. You should just stay there and stick it out.....maybe you need to open up to your parents a little more......I understand your friend's mom is your mom's best friend but, do you really think she will care for you the way your mother would?

Running away from your problems will just create much more problems.. and your parents might end up argueing about that.. so maybe you should just talk to them and tell them how its hurting you and maybe you can help them as well.

Don't run away...that will only delay the problem not solve it. You will have to work on the problem. Like most problems, it is usually alittle of both parties. You and your parents need to discuss the problem like mature people. If you are grown up enough to runaway from a problem...you are grown up enough to work on the problem.

talk to your parents about how you feel, I'm sure that if they new that you were going to run away they would be upset, you're their child no matter what. your probably sick of hearing this but you have to face it like facing your fears. trust me i know how you feel and my friend would too almost everyone does it or at least think about it. ignore every one saying the it's stupid coz you do int think it is so to you it's not.

Don't run away, that will only cause more serious problems to deal with. My mom is the same way, I ran away, and now i'm not allowed to do almost everything.

Before you run away, try threatening to hold your breath until you turn blue, and see if that improves things with them.
