talk it out with her and try to convince her to saty but if she still wants to run away, hepl her do it SAFELY (but you may get blamed...). and if i were in her situation i would run away too, so i dont think she is over reacting, as long as she plans to come back....

ASit her down talk to her ask her if she really wants to do this. Tell her she dosen't need to do this and that she should try to talk to her mother and if it dosen't work that you will always be here and you will help her out!

She's definitely not overreacting. You should just talk to her. be open minded and willing to listen to her. She needs someone to talk to righ now so you need to be her shoulder to lean on. If her mom physically hurts her again, you need to get help for her.

shes not over reacting...put yourself in her shoes, if you mom was physically and verbally abusing you wouldn't you want to run? don't question your friend, or try to get her to change her mind. just give her a safe place to run to...like your house, or another friends house and just dont have her tell her mom where she is. :)

Always have an open home. If she wants to run away let her come to your house or one of her other friends. She is not overreacting. This would probably be very scary for her. Put yourself in her shoes. What would it be like? Talk to her all the time. Hope this helps!&hearts;

mn731 answered Sunday October 9 2005, 8:25 pm:
No, no your friend should not run away. I think she should get help and start talking to a counselor or something. Her mom needs to get help. Get someone to talk to her and tell her that slapping her daughter (unless it's for a VERY VERY good reason) is not the best way to teach someone a lesson or prove something. Running away will only make things worse..if her mom catches her, don't you think her mom is going to slap her and abuse her again? The only thing to do is to get help and tell your friend to talk to someone..it's the only thing she can do.

You should definitely talk to her about not running away. There are just to many bad things that could happen.

Here is a website that deals with helping friends who are threatening to runaway, I hope it helps. :)

I had the same prob. with my mom, and know how she feels but just tell her if she does your house is open (if your parents are cool with it, allso try telling your parents what her mom has done) you can also tell her that she should reconcider because if her mom find out then she will be in a lot of troble.... hope this helps ya out

She shouldn't run away but her mother should NOT verbally abuse her and especially NOT slap her. I don't blame your friend for wanting to run away, but she shouldn't, it would only cause more problems. Just tell an adult and try to get her and her Mom help.
