im 16/f and ive been thinkin about leaving home for months but now its got serious. things at home are really crap i hate it! ive tried to talk to my parents about it but they just say if your gona be that stupid then go live with your grandma. but where i live there is a place which helps young people who want to or have left home and its full of appartments and im thinking of moving there but because the law here (as far as i know) is that you need your parents consent otherwise the police will report you as missing and will get involvd, i dont htink my parents will giv me consent and i dont want to live here no more! theyre not violent theyr not abusive! they just dont show love towards me lik they do to my brother and sister. me and my father havent spoken nicely to each other in over 3 months and my mum hates me for that! DO you think its right to leave? or do you think im being selfish? and does anyone no the laws about leaving home at 16?? thanks

Try once again talking to your parents about it and be seriouse and accually spill out how you feel one more time they shouldnt be treating you like that its wronge,no dont leave you shouldnt leave did you ever think of how you were gonna get support?
food? bills? how are you supposed to do that at 16 years old? theres no way .. Ofcourse we all have our moments when we all say we want to run away but we never accually think about the consquences, just try it one more time i know when you read my answer your gonan prolly say.. she doesnt kno what shes saying because shes not in my place right now but atleast give it one more try it wont hurt but remeber when you come to talk to them about your feelings you should accualy tkae whatevers bothering you and say it dont hold anything back let your feeelings out that way they will feel you =]

crap situation you are in for sure.
know what, TRY talking to your dad nicely...
even your mum, try yo ease the tension in the house.
make a couple of jokes, do what ever you can.
if you can honesty look yourself in the mirror and say, i'd given my best for a couple months and no differance, go. [ hoji's advice column | Ask hoji A Question ]
