I HATE my family, HATE
 

Whenever I get a B+, they get mad. Whenever I tell them their problem, they get mad. I'm never good enough, to them, I'll never be good enough. I HAVE to run-away.

I have thought of running away before also, but i never have found the perfect time, most of the time my mum asks "Do us a coffie!" and if i say no she cries and calls me selfish or she yells at me.

Seems like we have alot in common eh? :D

But dont run away, cuz if you do
1. you could get murdered or treated worse
2. Your parents may cry for you when your gone, BUT! when you get home you will get grounded and everything!
3. The police will get involved also.

Running away wont solve anything.

True, but at least I'll have a better life.

Run away to where? I don't suppose homelessness is a better life.

How will you get a better life? You will be stuck without a home, and if you stay at a friends their parents will soon get annoyed of having you around all the time. and if you run away while your on the path way going somewhere, a person might drive up to you and grab you and pull you in their car and they could murder you, make you take drugs and lots of things, if you run away you have no one to protect you. while your at home your family might not show they love you much, but they really do. and running away will make them upset.

There's a lot of friends who live in the same neighborhood as me.
Angelic-My parents said that they hate me, could it get any worse? And dying wouldn't be any worse.

There may be alot of friends in the same place as you, but what when they get tired of you staying there and kick you out? What then?. Your parents may say that, mine have. But think of them people who have no home. no family. At least your lucky to have a home and a family and clean water and healthy food!

I guess..

Thank you Karine.

Well, they might not want to kick me out because of the police. They obviously don't want to go to jail. My dad went to jail when I was 3 because my stupid mom had a fight with him.

Well just remember, there are kids who have cancer and some who ain't got clean water to drink, who ain't got a home or hope. Feel lucky you have water and food and a home, while they have to suffer from illnesses, and your complaining because your parents said they hate you?!

If I didn't have clean water, a home, or anything but I would have love, then I wouldn't care.

I have had just about enough of this, go run away then see if i care, just get yourself killed or something, get drugged, and miss your family even if you think they hate you. Your not going to get any better if you run away, your just getting worse.

Im getting off this topic. Bye.

You shouldn't run away, bad things could happen to you. I know what it feels like never being good enough. Don't worry about them, as soon as you are old enough, you can leave. If you do leave, your family will probably call the police to find you.

My cousin has run away several times. After she did it, she was found everytime and my aunt and uncle and...everybody started to yell at her and they took the internet away from her, mostly everything. All she has was an empty room for a year or two.

So, if you want to run away and make your life worse, go ahead. And, what love can you find in a place where you never know what could happen? This isnt a cliche movie meh dear. Theres no way for it to get better, the best way is to wait until you can move out.

Okay. You may think you have it bad, and you may think that your family doesn't care and that you're not good enough. But let me give you some advice from someone who has been there.

GROW UP.

You're being selfish. Just because you think they don't care about you and that you think they're mean doesn't mean that they are. They get mad at you for having a B+. Well, what grades do you normally make? They probably get mad at you because they KNOW that you're not trying your best. They want what's best for you, weather you realize it or not.

Your family is your blood, no matter what you think. Your family is the closest thing you'll ever have in your life, and they are the ONLY people in this world that won't stab you in the back when you need someone. I used to think that my mother was the most horrible person in the world. I used to think that she was selfish and arrogant and cared about nothing but herself. I moved out of the house to live with my fiance at the time, and within two months of my moving in with him, he dumped me for a friend of mine. You want to know what happened? My mother came to my rescue and got me out of that place. She took me back in without question and helped me on my road to recovery. It was then that I found out why my mother had been the way she was. She had been hurt like that too. She had become bitter and alone, and didn't want that to happen to me. And it hurt her terribly when it did.

So you may think that your family is cruel, but when it comes down to it, they will be the only definate in your life. So running away is probably the most stupid thing you could do and the most childish. By running away, you will be proving your family right if they think that you are immature. So just stop right now and really think. Would you be running away to get away from your family and to be free, or are you running away because you ACTUALLY have a problem like physical abuse. From what you've said, it's the former. You have no real problem. You probably have it made, in fact. You have a roof over your head, food on your table, free laundry, transportation. Trust me, hon, by the way you talk, you're no where near ready to face the REAL cruel world. It's more harsh than your family ever could be. So count your blessings while you still have them.

Do they feed you? yes
Do they cloth you? yes
Do they house you? yes

You have it 100x better than millions of children in this country alone. So they get on your case, they're trying to make you strive to be the best. I'm assuming you're still a teen. Imagine having to work 40 hours a week plus go to school full time. List out all the finances that you will have to pay to support yourself. And you will see...it's NOT worth it. Living on your own isn't as glamerous as some people make it. It's EXPENSIVE. So bite your tongue for a while.

Well... I dunno if you already changed your mind or made it up, but do what is right for you. None of us can tell YOU yes or no, you should seriously consider what would happen if you ran away and what would happen if you stayed. We don't live your life. But we all are here to help you make a better understanding of what you could choose to do.

If you were to run away... the cops might get involved, meaning that you might be taken back home, and none of us know what your parents are capable of doing when the cops leave. Another thing, if you run away, to like another state or city, what would your friends think or do with out you? In this situation, thinking really is a good thing.

If you were to stay... your parents might just keep treating you the way they do. Would there ever be an opportunity for you to talk to them about how you feel? Maybe talk to a school counselor and see if you can't set up a meeting with you and your parents, so that all of you can get those feelings out about each other in the safety of the school. You never know what a few simple word can do to a person, so make sure you really consider what you say to your parents if you choose to talk to them.

Hopefully I helped you out a bit. I hope everything works out for the better. PM me if you want to talk about it more. I'm always here to listen!

A little dramatic much?

Sorry if it sounded rude, but that's really short for a life issues thread starting post.

I always thought my dad would be disappointed in me if I don't maintain top grades. I already disappointed him in kindergarten when I almost failed. There goes his dream of a smart daughter. But then I got A's and was found Gifted. Now he expects excellent grades from me.

Last week, I found out I'm getting a C in a class because I forgot to turn in money. My dad told me to not worry about it. I asked if he was disappointed. He said, "You're taking 4 AP classes and an extra class online. That's 6 A's and one C. No, I'm not disappointed. I don't even think it's fair you're getting a C for not paying money!"

I love my parents.

Are you sure your parents truly feel disappointed? Explain to them how hard getting an A is and ask them to look at your homework load and tell them 'Can you handle all this again and get straight A's?'
