I am sure things will work for the better if you can wait until you're 18. I realise this may be impossible for you, but your running away could be a Federal offence, and I am just saying this lest you're considering it. Your boyfriend's mum and dad will I'm sure, get working on some way you can go see them. It's really great that they get along with you. And, you must have a fantastic boyfriend who cares deeply for you.   ElizabethCox Posted at 6:38 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from missarissa at 6:35 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from ElizabethCox at 6:33 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Two more years isn't that long. its not a matter of 2 more years, this just started a few months ago. my grades have been dropping and ive lost interest in many things, ive tried to just push it away and keep moving forward but it hasnt been helping. *~ ~* Maybe you just need to straighten out your priorities? missarissa Posted at 6:35 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from ElizabethCox at 6:33 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Two more years isn't that long. its not a matter of 2 more years, this just started a few months ago. my grades have been dropping and ive lost interest in many things, ive tried to just push it away and keep moving forward but it hasnt been helping. *~ ~* missarissa Posted at 6:34 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from ElizabethCox at 6:30 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Stick it out.
