Hey. Well running away is pretty serious buisness in which I would never reccomend. It will probably worry the people you live with to death and it could be dangerous. I wouldn't do it. Call your dad and tell him you want to live with him. Or talk to the people that you live with and tell them how you feel about what's going on. But don't hurt their feelings (unless they're treating you badly or cruely), but if they're not I would let it pass over and talk to them about it. I hope this helps and please give feedback.

HMMMMMMM well first of all there are several ways to deal with living at a home you don't like. First of all you take simple (what most people do) tune them out, if that doesn't work simple call such places as child services about this situation or contact kids help phone (if you feel that's what you have to do). You're not allowed to run away at the age of 14, your parents are liable for you until the age of 16 which also includes my next point. What 'Ausin' said is completely false, at the age of 14 you do not have the right to move out and/or live with who you want. If you don't feel happy living with your mom, just follow the previous steps. GAWD.

go to your dads but if he isnt supposed to be around you DONT..... at the age of 13 you should be able to choose who you want to live with.

you won't get sent to juvy but you'll definitely get probation for at least 6 months. do it legally.

If things are that bad where you want to run away, I would call the police. Running away won't solve anything but the police can. Or call your dad and tell him to go get you or tell him your going to his house so he knows.

Your best bet is to do things legally. Let your dad know that you would rather live with him. Then the case can be sent to court to get your legal residence changed to your fathers house.
If you are in physical or emotional danger where you are living now, tell the police. They can put you in your father's house while the case works its way through court.
