Runaway
Yesterday I ran away.
I've been ditching alot and I have plans in life with my friends and they are like everything to me.
I hate school.
I hated being home so much I asked my friend if I could stay at her house and my mom hates her. she said no because she didnt want the cops coming to her house.
She took me home and I stayed there for an hour and I cried and I stopped a realized I didn't want to be there
I live in las vegas so I pretty much walked 20 miles to my friends house and I stayed there.
I felt bad but I had nowhere to go and I just needed to be away for the weekend.
Well my mom found her number and called her and threatened to get the police on her.Well instead she told her to come pick me up at 530 and she did because I didn't want to do that to my friend.
I'm still so very miserable here.
What should I do? I'm just so confused I need someone to talk to
anyone

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Tell your mom your not happy. don't say you never want to come home again that would piss her off.
Just say, im really not happy at the moment. I feel like i need to get away for the weekend.
Even if i cant stay at my friends house, can i stay with nearby relative or family friend for a few days to clear my head.
You have to sound mature and determined.
If that doesn't work, try talking to your school guidence counsler. I know it may seem stupid, but if theres one person who will get your parents to listen, its that kind of person.
<3hope i helped and good luck

Things probably seem pretty bad at home, but things could also definitely be worse. Just think of how worse things could be happening somewhere else. Explain to your mom (in person or in a note, whatever works for you) the importance your friend holds to you, for one. Come up with a reasonable agreement (as in, you most likely wont completly get your way, just listen to the term 'beggers cant be choosers')for you to be able to see her more often/ect. This may solve a major problem.
Also, try to use that approach with other issues you two have. Talk EVERYTHING over. It really helps, and maybe she'll understand more of what you're going through.
Getting things solved is better that running from things. Just keep that in mind.

I don't know what has happened in your life to feel so much hatred so I'm not going to judge you. If you need someone to talk to I think that a hotline would be the best option. I wish you the best of luck and unless you are being abused or something I hope that you stay at home. Your mom cares about you whether she shows it or not. Your friends haven't had the experiences that she has had in her life. She is trying to protect you from making mistakes. She's definitely going about it the wrong way, but her intentions are good. I think that you both would benefit from either going to counseling together, or sitting down and telling each other everything in a calm, mature way. A little bit of talking can go a long way. If her parenting style is what the problem is, counseling would help a lot. It sounds like she's a single mom. If so, it's probably hard for her. Cut her a little slack. :)
Try one of these. It's not going to make things any worse and it could help a lot.

Deal with it. You've got a mom who cares about you. Friends that care about you. A place to live. If I walked 20 miles every single time I got frustrated with my family, I'd be across the country and back 3 times. You live in the most beautiful state in the world (I'll give you, though, that Vegas isn't a peachy place) Give it a week, you'll calm down. I promise :) If not, you can come 80 miles and punch me in the face. :P

You may feel like you have HUGE problems and a HORRIBLE life, but you probably got it pretty good. Unless your teachers and family are physically abusive, you can deal with it.
I want you to think about people that don't have a home to go to, and they walk 20 miles everyday and never have anywhere to go.
You could have a home where your electricity has been turned off (I am assuming that you have electricity because you are able to post this using a computer.)
I assume that you never miss a meal, and that your house is heated and air conditioned.
If there are things that make you disagree with your mother, talk to her.
Now I know that your first impulse will be to give me a 1, but just think about this for a while before you jump and get angry.
Good luck,
GBL xxxxx
