i want to run away.... please help..?

Hi i'm 15. My mum and dad are both separated and with other people. My dad has another wife that hates me (don't tell me she doesn't since she kicked me out of 'her' home, my dad is like her puppet and does nothing but shout at me so i hate being there since all i get is how useless and how i shouldn't have been born and threats) my mum is also with another guy which hates me as well, all we ever do is fight as well. My mum is also always shouting at me and hitting me, its like her way to release built up stress and anger, and she does it on me. She finds every little detail to do so. I don't have any friends since the one i had went away to live in welsh and never managed to make any true friends after that. Every night i think of suicide and i almost did it. But i don't wanna die, i wanna get out and try to live, I want to run away, i know its stupid and there are dangers like starving to death, getting raped, no place to live becoming a hobo, what so ever, but i also see a hope for a better lifestyle...the only way to get out of my country is by flying out, which i don't have the legal age. And for all those who think am stupid, and are thinking why not take a train or bus? well i live on a really small island, there are no trains, and if i run away in it, they can easily find you. Am trying to wait till i am 16 where it is legal to fly alone.. but i don't know how to cope with this anymore. i need advice and help... please help me...

    I showed your message to a bunch of people on facebook and here are the replies I got. Please read them all,I did this for you:

    you are a very sad and worrying situation and I feel for you, it does happen a lot that when parents divorce children become casualties if you have any relatives grandparents or anyone of close ptoximity speak to them and tell them what is happening to you and what you feel, especially your contemplation about suicide maybe they can be of assistance and take you in to live with them I'm not saying the situation will easy but I'm sure it will better than what you are going through right now. running away might seem like a best option for you right now but its not safe out there. remember you are not alone it may feel like you are but youare not kneel down and cast all your troubles to God and he shall answer your prayers I'll also pray for you

    I like you for your boldness of seeking help rather than taking things into your own hands. Take heart. Your case is really disturbing but people have had this similar issue and have endured and persevered.

    Know who you are as a person. (Human)...self personality.

    Know and see things that happen in life as an opportunity for greatness

    Take it as a lesson...

    Would advise you to take this bold step to try and humbly present yourself before your mum(parents) and speak words of love not about the situation to her. Tell your mum you love her, you are sorry for whatsoever you've done and that you are ready to submit to her. Tell your step dad what is necessary and do that with humility and not with pride.

    2....

    Your father shouts, go and amend things. Go on your bending knees,say sorry to your step mum,if eventhough she may naturally hate you.

    Advice.... Do not run away from problems. Be bold and(thank God for the spirit of boldness in you )

    Sometimes, breakthroughs comes from where u least expected.

    Know there some treasures stored in the dark unnoticed until u shine as light to see through.

    Seek strength from the Lord's first before tackling the issue.

    All the best.

    Go to any church around u&explain 2 a man of God then give us d feed back.

    U need God's divine intervension (i do too) And the best way to get it (seek and u shall find) is to gather courage, go on ur knees and Pray To God, just Communicate with him, he's with u all alone just tell him ur heart desires and his will and plans for u will be made manifest

    first of all God is a father to the fatherless.he shall see u tru.and also as igbadun said get a church a bible believing church around u,narate the story jxt as u did to us.tell them every tin on ur heart.later give us the feed bak but dont try run away outside der is dark.we shall all rememba u in praya.u shall hav a story to tell one day.stay blessed

    very sorry to hear this. my prayers are with u during this very difficult time. flying out to another place or country will never be a good solution for an issue of this nature. First and foremost u need a safe home/shelter to stay and some counselling to help u recover from the shock, trauma, fear and insecurity.

    Secondly, ur separated parents have the responsibility to look after u. It will be good to have some dialogue with ur father and mother to do something about ur future either with the help of a local person with influence or through human rights organisation. I am sure in your law there should be a clause for issues of this nature and in a worst scenario u can use this tool if the parents continue to ignore u and insensitive to her pleas.
