First ask yourself why do u want to go in a foster home. Will it be any better than where u r. Foster homes are not always better choice. You could end up in the same situation than where you are. To tell ur parents this may upset them a bit if this is your choice just sit them down and mentioned it. Tell your parents why you want to be in a foster home. See how they react and discuss this further also, this does not mean you will get your way. By no means blurt this out in anger. Doing so may furthur complicate things. If you feel you are in any kind of trouble talk to a close relative, a church member if you attend church or school counselor. Good luck

You sound angry, think about all the positive things that you have with your family, and how you would feel if anything ever happened to them?....then think again, why you think it would be any better in a foster home. If there is no violence in your home I think you should sit down and tell your parents how you feel and your reasons. Good luck.

it must be rele serious if you want to go to a foster home. if u get abused, you should talk to a counselor.
-
If you TRULY want to go into a foster home, tell your parents, and they might work with you.
-
If you want to do something drastic like all your questions purport, then you should be talking to either the police or a pastor/priest/Rabbi, school counselor or a social worker because something is seriously wrong somewhere.
-
well if you want to go without the awkwardness... then you could say could perhaps ask to go to a foster home because you want to move? like live closer to a school or something. you could travel and live in a foster home elsewhere haha. or if it is serious go to someone else and ask them to move you and they will speak to your parents for you. but if its just a simple i want to be in a foster home tell your parents you want something new and different.

every foster kid wants parents. you should figuire out a way to make it work. foster homes are not fun orientated.

A very dear friend of mine had been in foster care most of his life (since age 6 or 7) and its not fun. You are neither a family member nor are you a guest...you are in between. This is for most foster homes, some are better than others, but it still is not like home. Do you have other options? An Aunt or Uncle or cousin that you could stay with? A grandmother or grandfather? Any relatives that you feel close to are by far a better option than moving in with people you don't know. Think it over completely and try to avoid making a hasty decision. Good luck to you!

Try to think about it over and over and if you do talk to your praents about it make sure you have resons to go o a foster home and if they say no, talk to some that might help you talk to them. So just try your best to talk to them and good luck!

you should think about all the things you have when you dont live in a foster home and what you will not have in a foster home but im not trying to tell you not to go in one but i was in one since i was 11 and now i live with my parents and i hated living in a foster home and now i get to do so much stuff but if you really want to do it you could tell them that "i cant take all the stress around here and i want to get place and i know you 2 brought me into the world but i need a new start in life please dont be mad at me but its what i really want."

Tell your parents whatever you are feeling inside and tell them why you want to go. Sit down with them when they are in a good mood.You can also call social services to help you, you can ask them to be present whilst you talking to them in case if your parents over re-act If you need to talk email me at krystal_9210@hotmail.com,

Why do you want to goto a foster home? Is there bags things happening at home? If there is, then you need to report it to the police and then they will tell your parents and you will be protected.

You should stay with your Family. They will love and respect you more than anyone

I've had over 100 children in my foster home over the years, and not one NONE have been happy about not living with their parents. BUT if you believe there is some reason you should not live at home (Physical abuse, neglect, emotional abuse) you should contact your state's Office for child abuse (usually in the front of your phone book under emergency services) Massachusetts calls this agency OFFICE OF SOCIAL SERVICES Illinois calls it Department of Children and Families, New York Calls it Department of Social Services, so it will be listed like that. There is also The Covenant House "nine-line" 1800-999-9999 they will tell you how to get service in your area.

Well hopefully you have a really good reason. I'm in the whole SYSTEM thing. And it is NOT fun. Yuor so uch better off stayig home I promise. Being in the system sucks so bad. You get close to people and then they tend to favor clients, or you get so close to themm, and they tell your case manager they don;t want you there, then your moving all over and starting all over again. NOT A GOOD IDEA UNLESS YOU REALLY NEED IT

Nobody seriously wants to live in a foster home. Something must be occurring at home that's disturbing you. You might want to talk with somebody about it. Besides...I may be mistaken, but I don't think you can just waltz up to a foster home and say, "I'm here!" I believe city or state officials have to determine that you're not being properly provided for, or if some abuse is involved before recommending you for foster care placement.

I work in a care home so this will be helpful. First of all over 5,000 children a year are put into foster care mostly occuring to parents deaths, cant handle there children, Child has done something.Children always want some foster parents to come save them from the horror and have a good life,some children dont ever get the chance to have "second parents"shall we call it and they stay untill 18 go into a hostel for a few years and try and make something of their life and most of the children have tryed and succeeded in that.A Care home is no fun at all you have to learn out all the facts first before you suddenly insist leaving your loved ones. Why not try our website and have a little look www.carehome.co.uk. Now its not easy putting a child in care when they insist to be put in there has to be a real reason why you want that maybe you are being abused or something like that and if you are get back to me and i can help you out.

to get into a foster home you need a pretty damn good reason, and it needs to be one where you are not safe at your house and u just need to tell them and talk to a social worker
