This may not be relatable but I really need some advice pls.

Im 16 and I live in the UK. I am from a strict cultural family and somehow I got a boyfriend who is outside from the culture and I got caught with him so my mom kicked off with me and I am thinking about running away because me and my bf genuinely love each other and he was crying about everything and he says he does not want to leave me

please don’t run away! you will definitely regret it later… as two 16 year olds where will you stay anyway? at his house? are his parents okay with that? is that legally possible? try and make your mum to understand why you love him so much, and explain to her that he us a good guy. by making her to understand, you can continue your relationship! if not, break up with him and wait for two years, then you can date him 🙂 you can still be friends in the meantime, but trust me running away is NOT the best decision right now. you’re just really upset and i know it’s difficult but please don’t run away.

then you HAVE to wait until you live alone
your mum might be very strict but she loves u and u running away will affect her too… do urself snd ur family a favour and break up with him. if he is convincing you to leave ur family and run away with him then maybe he isnt who u think he is… break up with him, remain as friends and get together when ur 18. if he really loves u, and u really love him, you will be willing to wait for each other. theres NO rush.

Where you gonna run ☠️

I can try rent an apartment

Job?

girl you cant do anything drastic 😭 i feel so so bad for you that you feel like this but doing something crazy and irreversible is NOT a good idea. if he loves you he'll wait for you but im afraid waiting is all you can do sweetie. i hope it all works out for you but please dont throw away your life like that. my heart really goes out to you ❤️ im here if you need someone to vent to

I applied for a job already

Awe thank you im here if you need to vent as well but like I have been wanting to run away ever since even before my boyfriend came along. I want to meet him behind my mom’s back bc she’ll
Never ever accept him

I don't see why everyone's criticizing this, from the sounds of it your home is potentially abusve - if you can't dress how you want or date outside your cultural - i would say if you're in an sensible mind and have a good plant then get out of the unhealthy enviroment!

its not that easy. the police will look for you. the money you earn/spend, any things you buy and where you buy them, phone calls you make or recieve etc, it'll all be tracked and you can't really hide. even if you do something like thry to rough it (INCREDIBLY stupid and dangerous pls dont) you'll likely be found so i don't think it's worth the risk. it's gonna get hella messy if the police get involved with this so please think twice and stay safe.

You're legally allowed to leave home at 16

there'll still surely be a missing person case? i cant imagine there not being a search eventually. forgive me if i'm wrong.

your parents can phone the police but the police usually won't be interested and can't legally take you back
