not had direct experience, but what do you feel about her reasons? were you controlling her?
where is she now? do you still see her?

Hope you don't mind me asking but what are her friends like? If I were 17 I'd probably be staying at a friends house. Is she trustable enough to leave her to her own devices to let her cool off til tomorrow - then try contacting her then?

Am sorry - wish I could help 1st hand my two are still little - so have all this to come!

I did this at 16. My mam went mental and we lost contact for years. I would try to stay calm and leave her to cool off. I know its easy to say, and it must be very worrying. Try her phone tommorow and resist ringing it over and over if she is not answering. Then when you get in touch, tell her you love her and you just want to talk. Listen and try to work some compromises out.
Good luck, and i hope it all works out.

I dont know how long she has been gone?

If you know her friends, its likely she is with one of them, or one will know where she is?

If she has been gone awhile (i was presuming this happened tonight) is it worth writing a letter explaining how you feel and how you miss her. You could give it to one of her friends to pass on. You are offering an olive branch.
