    I want to get put into care?
    I'm a 14 year old girl and I want to get put into care, for different reasons. But the mean reason is no one cares about me here, my sister or my brother don't speak to me anymore. They act as if I don't exist and my sister tells me all the time she can't wait till the day I die, which made me realise I'm not wanted in this house.. I wanted to run away but I knew that wasn't the answer, I've been wanting to get put into care since last year when I realised it would be better. Please help me.

    Grow up and leave. What brothers and sisters think and esp what they say to each other are never the same. They may act and tell you they hate you, but you will be best friends normally in older years.

    And I you really don't want anyone to care for you, go into state care, in a home where you have nothing, and controlled every minute often. You are nothing but a paycheck to them.
    And you did not talk about your parents, just siblings.

    Wherever did you get the idea it would be better? Most foster parents don't care that much about their charges. They are simply a stopping point for the child.

    What you are describing sounds very typical teen angst. Running away isn't the answer. That could be very dangerous for you. Foster care isn't the answer because the only way you would be removed from your parents is if it can be proven you being legally abused or your parents would agree.

    I suggest you try to get an intermediary (clergyperson, school counselor) to get you and your parents together and talk this out. Maybe there is a relative (grandparent, aunt/ & uncle) you can move in with for a bit.
