if u know where she went u should either convince her to go back home. depending on her age, she probably isn't safe in the streets. if it makez u feel any better, u could take her back to ur house.\n\nif u don't know where she went, u should call the police or send out a search party and try to find her. all u can do is hope for the best.

If he did that and you were barely out of his sight, that guy is a creep and a loser.\nBest you lose him fast, and find a guy, who would have at least taken you home and waited to see if you needed help.Then gone home himself.\nI'd trust your friend more than that boyfriend of yours. He stayed there, didn't he, knowing you were needed at home. Shows off his character.

I agree with all the people who say call the police.  The truth is, though the threat may not actually be carried out., you need to treat it as a very serious threat to her life and safety.  The most important thing you can do is GET HER TO A SAFEHOUSE OR SOMEPLACE SECURE.  If she needs protection from this guy, start off by getting her out of this situation.   Also, be her friend and help her feel safe and confident.  If the guy asks you where she is or anything, tell him NOTHING and WALK AWAY.  If he tries to hurt you or violate you, run and bring attention to yourself and get to a public place right away.  If this happens at your house, call the police right away and report him as a trespasser.

In all honesty, cops do not search too long for runaways unless they are very young, because most of the time, kids come back on their own when they run out of money. They'll file a missing persons report but don't expect too much as it is a big country and the kid could be just about anywhere (including 3000 miles away) and, unless the kid gets caught doing something else, the cops will have a very hard time locating one teenager out there.  You may want to ask your phone company to trace all your calls (it usually requires some paperwork to be filled out and a fee) so if your kid calls, you can at least know what city he's in.

Where to go? Better get some help, look for school counselours or go to a hospital, they might help you go thru this stage of your life.  If you run away without having anywhere to go, probably you will end worst than your parents.  Now go out and get some help for you and your family.  Warning: It won't be easy but it's the best thing\nAnd Run away is not your only choice. Go to:

its good he left, you shouldnt go home. then they would know where you lived, which is the worst thing that could possibly happen.  the "MAX" whatever that is, a bus or subway im guessing in whatever city you live in, is a good idea as long as its crowded, but if he still followed you, i would take it to a random stop where there is a busy restaurant or store close by that you can get to by only using crowded streets, if he's still following you and follows you in, you can ask to borrow a phone and call someone to come pick you up. if he's following you on foot, he doesnt have a car handy and can't follow whoever comes to pick you up.  Or, if there are taxis where you are, you could just get one of those to either bring you home, or far enough away where he can't know where you went.

you should never run away from your problems. that only makes them intensify and makes you look cowardly. the best thing to do would to confront your problems and learn to deal with them. that might not be the easy way but it's the right way. and you could learn alot this way to.

Lol, run away i think!!  Next time, pretend she's squashed you and lie lifeless for a few minutes.  She'll maybe think she's killed you, and will change her mind about it the next time!  Let us know how you get on, if you're still alive that is!  Lol

Just ask her if it was an accident, or what the deal was. You can read her face when she answers you. Remember accidents do happen. If you don't believe her just simply avoid her and move on you don't have to be rude or if you cherish her friend ship forgive her and don't believe everything she says that way you don't get hurt again. Just accept the fact she lies. It all depends  how valuable your friendship is. I had a friend like that once, she called 5 times a day, I mean I really didn't have time for all that, it got on my nerves so bad I unplugged my phone for 3 months. I finally got it out of my system and now we aren't that close, I avoid her most of the time cause I don't want to get her started again.

If it got to the point they had to call hte cops I would say you blew it.  If you aren't really willing to accept that answer and you are willing to do ANYTHING to be friends with her again then patience is the key.  You have to prove to her that you are sorry and will never act that way again.  Let me tell you earning back someones trust is never an easy thing.  Be patient...wait for her... do what you can to show her you are sorry subtly and if a fight starts refuse to engage in it...

well, try talking to her.  if she won't let you, then dont worry about her. if she's a true friend, she'll want to hear your side of the story. if she's true, she'll come back to you. if she doesnt, oh well. get a new friend.

move on and forget it.  it is obviously none of your business or the loved one wouldn't have been "lost".

Make sure you tell her you deserve an explanation for her distance. This is important. You have the right to know why she no longer wishes to be a part of your life. Just pull her to the side nicely or if you can catch her alone even better and just be like, "Hey, I've noticed you've been distant lately, is there anything wrong...did I do something to upset you?" Then if she doesn't wanna talk or explain herself, tell her "I deserve an explanation and I'll only try this once if your gonna give me the cold shoulder. I care about you enough to address the situation, but if you don't wanna be my friend anymore, at least have the decency to inform me like a woman". After this. just do what's in your heart. Go your separate ways and look into other options in friends. Someone is out there in the same boat as you and you'll find a new BFF soon. Good Luck!
