‘I’m planning to run away from home’ – Dr Louise answers your burning questions

I’ll be in matric this year. My parents are very strict and expect me to study hard and go to university.

I’m not fond of studying and am a free spirit who believes people should do what they want to do. My parents think I should study first then I can do what I want but I don’t want to waste years of my life.

I want to tour the world and see new things and learn more about life. My parents have been protective of me because I’m a girl and I’m sick and tired of it.
