Always angry and thinking of being a runaway

[Trickster]

Well alot i dont like about my family. Conservative, way to selfish, and alot more but i dont think its too significant.
Lately ive always been so angry when around any one of them and cant take the sight of them. When one of them enters my line of sight i just become instantly annoyed and wonder "why are you here!"
I never feel like talking to any of them and if i do its one word answers or nothing at all.
The thing is once i leave their pressence i feel a great weight off my shoulders and im my happy-go-lucky smiley self. Laughing all the time, having fun and finding fun in the smallest things. So when i go home i feel depressed.
Ive been thinking lately of running away without telling them, just need a place to stay at. (my friends live far away) .
I dont know if its just im a teenager and all teenagers hate their families or something else.
Thank you in advance if you can help

My advice, don't run away. Running away can get you in a lot of trouble with the police, since it's kinda illegal. Just wait it out. Stay away from home as long as you can, without running away. Go to friends' houses more and stuff. Get involved with school clubs or stuff.

Agreed. Don't runaway - It's the worst possible thing you can do for yourself and your family. I completely sympathize and understand how you're feeling. For example, I HATE my dad. I literally, getting sick and nervous whenever I hear his garage door open when he gets home. I pretend to go to bed early so I can avoid him, that's how much I literally can't stand being around him. And you know what? It works. Weird and unhealthy as it may sound, it honestly deescalates conflict a lot. For your situation, just try toughing it out for the next few years and spend as much time away from home as possible. That's what my best friend did last year - she literally went home to sleep and spoke about two sentences a day to her parents. And as 'cruel' as that sounds to most people, it saved a lot of potential arguments from happening, and it DEFINITELY prevented her from feeling the way you do because she just wasn't at home. Stay at school as long as possible. Hang out at a friends, until as long as possible. Do extracurricular activies, as long as possible. Make it so that you literally go home to sleep. I might get chastised for this because I'm not promoting skills for dealing with communicating with your family, but it sounds like you've gone beyond that point. And I respect that. I hope this makes sense.

Dont do it man! Don't.

Just stay at home. Face your problems, like a man! Kick the problems in the face, and man up. Stay home, and talk with your parens. That is best.
Parents are wise and they give good advice. And i ryme. :)

Don't runaway. It is possibly the worst decision you can make in your teenage life (Aside from Suicide) and it will hurt everyone around you.

You may feel as if your family is too different, but there is always going to be one similarity you have with them. They care about you, and you care about them. No matter what. I don't care if you say you allegedly "hate" your family, it is something everyone has. Everyone has a special bond with their family that they can't share with anyone else and that is relation. You are the same, but different and you need to come to terms with that.

Running away is probably the most idiotic way to approach the way you feel about your family. I always tell people to communicate, and this is something I feel you should do with them more than anything. You need to communicate with them and tell them how you are feeling. You need to express that desire to get away from them, and maybe they will change. They love you at least, and why hurt someone that loves you?

I know you'll make the right decision.

i know its tempting.....I was in a simlar situation....I decided to move to new york. I did not stay in touch with my family and friends and I immediately got disconnected....I missed them....BUT through that time of absence our relationship become stronger.

Running away never solves anything. In fact, it makes them worse. No place to live, no assurance of food or water, no heat or A/C, nothing.

Even if you don't like them, they offer you a place to live and their food to eat. When you are 18, you can move out of there and be on your own, and not have to worry about screwing up by running away.

Dude, think of everything you would be giving up. Clothes, a house, internet, television, being able to shower, support. Totally not worth it.
