People tell us that when there a fights and arguments at home, it makes them run away or want to run away. Some people don’t feel safe at home while others feel angry and don’t want to be around those they are fighting with.
It’s really hard if there are physical fights or shouting arguments that you are part of, even if you started it.
Most people argue sometimes and it is ok to not get on with everyone, but it’s not great if it feels like you are always fighting or getting into trouble.
If fights are physical and you are others are hurt, that’s not ok for anyone. If you feel so angry that you hit or hurt someone or someone hurts you, it is good for everyone to have some space from each other. Remember that if you ever feel in immediate danger or need emergency help you should call 999.
If you feel unsafe or that someone at home is out of control and keeps fighting with you, it might be helpful to talk about what you want to do and whether being at home is the right place for you.

If you are fighting with someone while you are in Care, maybe it is not the right placement for you or them and it would be good to talk to your carer or social worker to find out if there is somewhere better.
Lots of people struggle to control emotions like anger and that’s understandable. If feeling angry makes you run away or hurt someone and feel like you need to leave, it would be good to talk about if there are ways to help stop feeling like that.
