Runnig away

Yes, you are young-but you do have some control in this situation. You can control how you deal with it. Running away would create more problems for you- you would get away temporarily, but what happens when they find you and bring you back and treat you even worse! I wouldnt want to see that happen. Also, whether you are a girl or a boy- there are some really sick people out there- BELIEVE me- men that are looking for a little boy or little girl in a desperate situation to take advantage of. I agree with lodi- CALL CPS. They will investigate- they have to. Keep in mind though- they may place you in a shelter or foster care and sometimes those situations are even worse- just in a different way. I m not saying that to discourage you- I am saying that because I have been in that environment, and I want you to weigh your options. That totally sucks the guidance counselor wasnt supportive. There ARE people out there that would love to help you and listen to you- like smith said- a priest or minister, or do you have a close friend that has a mom or dad you can seek guidance from? This is all very hard -yes BUT its not permanent and you will get through it. Try to get involved with something at school - do things to get your mind off of things and allow you to focus on things that make you feel good.
