Meg...

What exactly are you mad at????

What kind of help do you need??? What kind of help do you expect others to give/provide to you?? What do you expect to get out of the help you are able to receive???

I really do understand the need to run... to go to someplace where no one knows you... I did that. I saved up money.... packed my bags... told no one... and I moved overseas... lived there for several months.... GUESS WHAT!!! The problems that I was running from...well they came right along with me and stayed with me once I moved back to the U.S., but...one step at a time... the problems, worries, and concerns I was running from...crumbled into nothing.

I found people pretty much the same no matter where I went. Pretty much the same as where I left from....

I found that if I wanted help.. I had to help myself first before anyone anywhere was willing to help me. I had to take the first steps...I had to make the effort.

I understand you are 18 and life in general has you overwhelmed right now. You are out of highschool... possibly expected to find a way to make it on your own...but my guess is you really have no clue which way to go or what to do. **I say this as I've been there...done that.

Growing up is frightening and extremely overwhelming!!!! To be honest... you sound like the majority of 18yr old young adults everywhere.
