Problems at home
My name is Anna and I'm 14. I want to tell you my story so that you really think about whether running away is your only option.
My parents were fighting all the time, and I just couldn't take it anymore. I didn't have anywhere else to go, so I put some things in to a backpack and left. I started hanging around on the streets. I didn't know where to stay so I slept in a bus shelter. It was very cold and I was scared. I couldn't go home so it was lucky that The Children's Society stepped in. They helped me to talk to my parents. Now I'm back home and it's loads better.
