NRS Can Help
You may be thinking that leaving is the only option right now. You are having a tough time talking with your parents, you’re under a lot of pressure with your friends, or you’re getting bad grades at school. Maybe one of your friends is thinking of leaving and you want to help them. It’s possible that you may have already left and you want to return home, or you’re considering turning to us for help and don’t know what to expect. These are all common situations and feelings. We can help and we can help you right now.
If leaving home seems like the only answer to your current situation, ask yourself these questions first. If you’re still not sure what to do next, talk with a friend, call us at 1-800-RUNAWAY, post a question on our Bulletin Board, or start a Live Chat.
