Well last sunday I ran away from home its a long story but I climbed out a window with all my money but no shoes on and ran to my boyfriends house thinking my mum or dad wouldnt find me but she did. Im not talking to my dad anymore, it started because well I got the old iphone and smashed the screen then it was stolen so I claimed insurance and got the 3g then it broke so got new one and my sister threw it against a wardrobe but it was fine but my dads went mental and was screaming and threatening us so we both left. At first my mum said I cant leave because im 13 when I walked out the door so I got the key to the window and ran. My dad called me a spoilt brat so I wont talk to him, my mums like not happy :\ what should I do?
What are you planning to do or trying to achieve by running away?
REALITY OF RUNNING AWAY When you think about running away, you probably imagine that there will be no more rules, no parent to tell you what to do, no more fights. Sounds great and exciting, right? In reality, running away is anything but fun. Kids and teens who run away face new problems like not having any money, food to eat, a safe place to sleep, or anyone to look out for them.
People with no home and no money become desperate, doing anything just to meet their basic needs. Because of this, they often find themselves in risky situations that would be frightening, even for adults. Runaway kids get involved in dangerous crimes much more often than kids who live at home.
Kids who live on the streets often have to steal to meet basic needs. Many take drugs or alcohol to get through the day because they become so depressed and feel that no one cares about them. Some are forced to do things they wouldn't normally do to make money. The number of kids with HIV or AIDS and other diseases is higher on streets, too, because these kids might use I've drugs or have unprotected sex (often for money).
WHAT IF YOU'RE THINKING OF RUNNING AWAY It may feel like there's no way to fix the problems that are making you think about running away. If you can, tell your mom or dad how you feel. They need to know that you're upset or that you're afraid they don't love you or want you around. It may be possible to work together as a family to change things for the better. Sometimes talking with a counselor as a family can help.
If the problem is as serious as abuse and a parent is involved, then talk to a teacher or counselor at school, a good friend's parent, a close relative, or another trusted adult. Let that person help you find somewhere safe to stay. It might be hard to share this secret because you may feel ashamed or afraid of getting someone in trouble, but remember that abuse is never your fault.
Another option is to call the National Runaway Switchboard at (800) 621-4000. It's open 24 hours a day and the call is free. The switchboard operators get thousands of calls each year, many from kids who have run away or know someone who has.

Thing is, you probably are a spoilt brat. Getting iPhones again and again when you can't even properly take care of one? You have to learn that these phones are really expensive (way too expensive than average phones), with features that you don't really NEED.
I didn't even get a phone until I was about 16 or 17, and it was a crappy THIRD-HAND phone. But it was enough because all I needed was to send/receive calls and messages. You have to learn to be careful and grateful with the things you are given at such a young age, because you don't have to work hard every day to earn the money that you use to pay for these things. It seems like you think that you just have toys that can be broken and easily replaced with. Do you understand why you Dad got so frustrated?
Tell your Mom and Dad that you're sorry, and that you'll try to be more careful with the things given to you.
You sound like a spoiled brat. So does your sister. Your parents arent helping in that department though if they contine to replace the stuff you keep breaking. In reality, they are getting angry because YOU NEED TO LEARN RESPONSIBILITY and they probably feel like they have failed as parents because YOU ARE IMMATURE. Running away is an idiotic way to deal with a SMALL, UNIMPORTANT arguement with your parents. Honestly. I am one of 5 children. There was always an arguement going on. Mostly between me and my parents because I was ungrateful, rude, immature and spoiled(even though I didnt think I was). I am now 20 and still have a lot to learn, but I am living on my own and I miss the comfort of knowing that my parents are paying all the bills and that I have nothing to worry about. YOU need to go home and YOU need to apologize to your parents. Do not make them come to you first. Be the bigger person and you'll get more respect.
you are a spoiled brats. you and your sister destroyed 2 $300 cell phones. cell phones that you dont need because you are 13 YEARS OLD! think about something for a second your parents are nice enough to pay for everything clothes, rent, food, they buy you TWO $300 CELL PHONES even after you proved you were not responsible enough to own one after you broke the first cellphone. the fact that you ran away with no shoes on proves that even you knew that you were not going to be going far or be gone for very long. you are the definition of a spoiled brat. go tell your parents you're sorry and try to be more respectful
Man, I WISH I had an iPhone. I hope you realize that you ARE a spoiled brat now. Don't run away for something stupid like that! And why in the world would you think that your parents wouldn't find you at your boyfriends house? I'm sorry, but that's really really dumb of you. That's the first place they'll look. And what about you and your sister? Why the f*ck are you throwing iPhones against closets? Are you mentally crazy? Sorry but you got me so mad. I can't believe that there are people like you. Try to be more respectful!
Take an honest, I say again, honest look in the mirror - if you need to apologize, do so - be mature about matters.
well I understand. you just cant help having what ever you want. say sorry. and just talk to them. :DD
well I no how you feel trry 2 talk 2 your mum how you feel and im sure that she will understand u
