Life or death situation HELLPP

[Tiny]

Ok so uhh. Hi. I have met this kid my age on a text app, and we have been talking for a few months. We never met in person;/ and we are extrememly far appart. We kinda fell for eachother and we really love eachother even though i know everybody always says you cant fall in love at 14 or 15 but this is different. And even though we neer met and are thousands of miles appart, we skype like literally 24/7. I am 99% sure he is who he says because ive talked to his dad and little sister and little brother and i hav seen his step mom. Things here are rough and we had this plan for me to runaway there. Hmmm help? Like, the plan is pretty good. Just dont know if i should (his dad said he would take me in) and his whole family loves me.

I think it's a very bad idea. I'm pretty sure that you running away at your age means they can force you to go back to whoever has custody of you. You don't really know these people. People can be fake, and people can lie and trick others.

Even if he is who he says he is, you would have a very hard time settling in. Mostly because in most places you CAN be forced back home and the cops will be looking for you, you will have trouble getting a job later in life because you would not have your birth certificate, social security number, or anything else.

Just VISIT him with permission. If your parents are iffy on it, have them talk to his parents for awhile. Maybe have him come see you for a couple days. Then maybe you can go visit him for longer than just the time you might be able to get there and then be taken back home.

Also, they could get in trouble for housing a runaway and not telling the police. Overall, it is a very bad idea, but it is your decision. Just be careful and realize what you are getting into.

Also, welcome to TeenHelp. This will probably be moved to a different section. Arrivals and Departures are for introduction threads. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Completely agree with Lissa. You are very young at 14/15, and to even consider meeting someone you met online is extremely dangerous. Sure you may have Skype'd with him and may have met his family, but it could potentially all be lies. I know that's not what you want to hear, but it's the truth. Moving away to a place you have no idea truly exists is dangerous, and you shouldn't be taking the risk. Is it really worth it to run away and potentially end up in a worse place or even dead?

I know it's not what you want to hear, but it's the truth and you can't take these matters lightly.

Why is this a life or death situation? Are things so bad at home that you absolutely cannot stay there anymore and running away is a feasible option? Why have you tried to break up with him five times before and why couldn't you do so?

I think you need to think this one out a little further.

This is a bad idea, especially since you two have never met in person. No matter how real he seems, there is still the possibility it could be fake. You're still young, you have plenty of time for love and relationships. Stay where you are and find someone closer and that you can for sure trust.

I also think it's a bad idea. You don't know this guy, and even though he may seem real, truth is, he could be fake. Even if you've talked to his family.

I would wait until you're 18. 18 is the age when you become a legal adult, and if you do run away now, your parents could report you as such, and if you're found, they could bring you back to live with your parents. At 14, you can't make this sort of adult decision.

The internet is full of crazy and deceiving people. You don't know what you could be getting into especially since you live so far apart

Don't do it, it has the potential to be dangerous and your safety is more important than the person you met online, plus you're only 14/15

It seems really suspicious to me that his parents would be so willing to take in a girl they've never met. Almost like a trap?! They could go to jail for kidnapping if they assisted you in running away from home. So either they're just irresponsible adults, or there's something else worrying going on :S
I know your situation at home must be hard, but like someone else said running away could potentially make this even harder. I'm not saying you should cut all ties with this boy, but please just be cautious.
