problems at home
i have a friend whos 16, living in Canada....she and her family dont get on well, and she doesnt have many friends...she talks about running away and getting a job and starting a new life on her own.
IM just wondering how hard it is for 16 year olds to get jobs in Canada, and how i could help her? i cant convince her to stay, so i want her to have a good start...so any suggestions would be great!
thank you

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
running away won't help. people are going to search for her and she might be known all over because she wouldn't be found. she obiviously will miss her family. she needs to learn and must have her parents help. make her listen to you. tell her all of the consiquences of her running away. also tell her how she won't be able to get a good job or get into college or even get a car without her families support. if she runs away she might be found anyway. there was a girl known all over the world because she was missing but really she ran away. i think her name was elizabeth. if she runs away forever, she will hate it and will see herself allover the news and get anooyed by it. i hope i helped.

Running away isn't going to solve her problems, you should both be very aware of this. Sixteen is a young age to be going out on your own and I don't think she can do it very long. She needs to consider that her parents love her and if she runs away they will most likely do all they can to find her. This includes seeing her face constantly popping up on the Missing Kids posters, hearing her name on the TV and the police constantly looking for her. That's not something most kids would like to deal with. If she doesn't back down and go home, the police will most likely find her, or someone will most likely turn her in. If she is completely dead set on running away and you are completely dead set on going along with it, I would make sure she has warm clothes, food to start her off with, and a jump start on money. It's not hard for a sixteen year old to get a job, but if she does it will probably be only minimum wage. Fast food restaurants are probably the way to go. Make sure you have complete access to be able to talk to her at all times so you will know she is ok.
And when you said she doesn't have many friends, remember she only needs one. So be there for her and try to talk her out of this, please.

tot eell ya the truth i think running away and finding a new jub starting a new life thing issnt really gonna work...unless she runs away to the circus....maybe tht would work if she could bend like a pretzile ya that would work...neways this girl is 16 if she runs away where will she live or sleep at night it will probably take her about a month for her to find a job a year for her to get enough money to get some furniture to put rent in a crapy apartment this girl is gonna hate her life more than she already hates it now you have to tell her that and she only has like wut 2 years of skool left until she leaves her family and goes of to college cant she just have some patients for just 2 years or so...then she will go to college wher it will be awaay from her parents and problems and finish college and have a life of her own with a degree and she can work a job that will probably pay well enough for her to live her own life...well i hope your friend solves her problem bye
