Hey. My boyfriend is telling me online that he wants to run away because he thinks his parents hate him, but I know they don't. Anyway, there's not much I can do, because we live an hour apart. I'm trying to help, but nothing's working. What can I say to him? Please help, I don't want him to hurt himself.

I think if you get him to stick it out until tomorrow he will see its not as bad as he thinks it is right now. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
*ashlee* answered Wednesday June 15 2005, 11:54 pm: if he wants to run let him. its doubtful that he will. a lot of people get mad at their parents and a lot of people say theyre going to run away. if he was going to run away he wouldnt have gotten online to tell everyone about it, he would have just done it. dont worry about your boyfriend hes just mad at his parents. he'll feel better tomorrow. AND if he doesnt, then like i said, let him run. he wont get hurt, it will either teach him a lesson, or make him realize he really is better off gone. no matter what, theres no need to worry. everythings ok.

here is what i think: maybe you should call one of his friends that lives closer to him. they can go over to his house and talk to his parents and inform them of your boyfriends problem with them. they will probably talk to your boyfriend and maybe they can fix things. or, maybe you can look up a good counselor to go to their house and have a talk with them. if you dont think any of these things are nessacery, tell your boyfriend to talk to his parents and let his feelings out.

iSpEaKsPaNiSh answered Wednesday June 15 2005, 10:31 pm: keep trying to talk him out of it and convince him that they love him and just want what is best for him. if he still insists or running away, try to get him to come stay at your house if its okay with your parents and make sure his parents are aware of it. then you can try to calm him down and talk some sense into him in person. if that's not possible, just make sure that he goes to a friend's house if he does run away. Make sure you tell his parents that he is safe at a friend's house and that you aren't sure which one. That way you will let them know that he is safe, but you don't give away his position. I hope I helped..but really keep trying to talk him out of running away. Maybe tell him that you won't be able to see him as much if he does that. I'm not sure. Anything!

helpingyou answered Wednesday June 15 2005, 10:18 pm: hey i know your prob. scared.... but relax. just talk to him and what his parents are doing to him that is making him so angry. then ask him about anything good has happened. and all parents can be mean and stuff....but they are just protecting us, they love us to death and if he runs away he will ruin their lives.
hope i helped
helpingyou
