Should I run away?

Whenever I'm with my mom she gets mad at me. When she's mad she curses at me. She has never hit me though but she has emotionally hurt me. My dad is the only one that cares about me. I also feel jealous of my sister. shes younger than me. She has an iPod, PSP Portable, cell phone and TV. I have nothing at all. She's 12 and I'm 14. A lot of times I felt running away would make my mom happy and now I'm really starting to think about it.

I don't know what to do I'm really confused. Please help me! I'm tired of crying myself to sleep every night.

Ok your mother is playing favourites with you and your sister and you have done nothing to deserve this...you have done nothing wrong. The 1st option is to go and speak to your dad about it in more depth, letting him know how badly it hurts you and effects you when your mother treats you this way, let him know you are crying all the time and feel depressed over it becos this sort of behaviour can cause serious issues down the line when you grow up more. If that doesnt work, if your dad doesnt straighten your mum out maybe you can go to her, and tell her exactly how you feel and how she makes you feel and see what she does. If neither of these situations work out, then you need to talk to a couseller at school, tell one of your teachers whats happening so you can get some professional help to help you thru this time. Do not run away, it wont solve a thing, you need to face your problems to make them better.

Dear joanna1015,
No don't run away...what would happen if we all ran from our problems? Having younger brothers or sisters is difficult for almost everyone at your age. We feel that they are being treated better and get all the goodies. Parents sometimes over look this and don't realize they are doing this. So sit down with dad and at 14 you're mature enough to have a good conversation with him without blaming anyone or yelling or being dramatic. Write it down first about what is bothering you. Then ask dad to listen...remember if you start getting loud or blaming people don't listen. Ask him is opinion and what his views are.
Speak with your school counsellor and get some advice there. Be proactive in your life by taking the steps to correct your problems not by running from them. If you do that as an adult you will never be happy.
Sue....good luck

hey,
tell your mom or dad how you feel and if she keeps curseing at you which isnt right just tell her you want and are going to move in with a relitive

Greetings,
- No, running away would not help at all. Talking to your dad may not be the right choice either, ebcause he may choose to not do anything about it, and support your mother. I suggest you tell a councelor, but running away is NEVER EVER an answer! Tell a friends parent or better a councelor. I don't belive the solution will come from your parents. Don't bother talking to your mom, I don't think that will help. You can never ever run away from problems in life, it will never help, stand-up, and face your problems with a positive attitude that"I'm going fix this" Not run away from them. Best of luck

u shouldnt runaway its nto the answer to life you need to talk to your parenst about stuff like this so they can understand and mayby fix it

I have been thinking the same thing.. If its that bad do it! But think of pros and cons.. If you run away to a friends house or something.. your friends mom or dad will get charged with money if you get caught from the cops. You most likely will get caught.
