What would happen if I ran away?

What will probably happen is you will end up turning to drugs/prostitution to make a living, and if you get caught, you’ll end up in juvi. Anyone who helps you might also get prosecuted if you and they are caught.

If you are being abused, call CPS. If not, just don’t go home except to sleep. That’s the better approach.

yes at 16 you will proabably get a search team for you wait until your 18 then your kinda considered an adult.

you think that you r dealin with stuff no one else does listen hon I’ve been down this isle more then once yeh my parents didnt let me see my boyfriend of a tr after I ran away to his house but suck it up and stop nitchin at people who were trying to help you thats just rude and you think they wont find you under and idea bs trust me people find missin people for a livin and your complanin bout bein on your own fro 3 weeks well what the hell do you think runnin away is

Jail, Police, News, Blah Blah Blah. All that crap they put up there.

Dont do it!! trust me I done it when I was 14. I thought my life isn’t worth being at home anymore because my mom an dad wouldn’t let me see my boyfriend because he was three years older than me, so I decided to run away from home with him, an it was all hell, I was all over the news an I got found within a year, I saw how devastated my parents were. It was very hard hiding from the police, I had to wear jumpers (even on a hot day) I even found a way how to survive on food. but when they found me. they took me to the police station and questioned me an everything. I regretted on what I done, I now have a young boy and I don’t want him to be in the same situation as me, I want him to have a great life ahead. So please please please for your sake don’t do it hun. I promise if you just wait until you’re 18 you will feel a hell lot better. x

Don’t run away it’ll only make things worse talk to someone trusted about it :]

Ok, good for you. But I’m not going to just sit around. Its not me. I’m not going to deal with crap. I’m going to do something about it. And how would you know that I have no idea how bad the world can be? I have seen things that most people don’t even see in their nightmares. I have had to take care of myself with no money and no where to stay for over 3 weeks. I’m not the type of person to just sit around and make the best of what I have. I’m going to make everything better. Thats just me.

The law. Who cares? I break the law almost every day. There are laws out there that don’t mean crap. And I have no reason to follow them. The law means nothing to me. I don’t go to the law for my problems. Screw the law.

I have the best person in my life. And I’m not going to lose him, or sneek around to see him just because my parents don’t like him.

No. Everyone does NOT go though this. You didn’t go though what I’m going though. So don’t act like you know how my life is. I didn’t ask for someone to tell me that what I’m doing is wrong. I asked what whould happen if I did it.

it doesn’t really matter if you run away. I mean 2 months ago I just ran away with my boyfriend because his mom kept beatting him but you have to have a reason to run away. I ran away with him because he and I loved each other very much and I was moving to elk grove next year but I could not leave him when his mom is almost about to kill him! so we ran away and now we are now living in las vegas living with his grandmother. and I followed my heart not what people said. so run away! follow your dreams and your heart!!! I love you zach!

lol you are all very how should I say easily threatened all your life society has said follow rules and noone gets hurt trust me a life without money and society is a free life I say she should live off the land and love who she loves I do agree 17/18 would have less commotion if you waited but me I did the same thing left built my own house in canada and by 20 was living happy so liz have at it and live life to the fullest

—Good luck and peace be with you

I think you should run away.

I really wanna run away but I need some advice please help

u would probably die starve or just end up going home and getting in huge trouble by the po po and by your parents

Listen girl, I used to live in New York the most amazing place in the world, and now by force I live in boring Illinois and I cannot tell you how many times I wanted to run away back to NY.. but I didn’t

1. It’s against the law
2. I learned to make the best of what I have and who I have in my life

Also you’re only 16, you’re not even old enough to see how bad life can really get. And I used to be told who I can and cannot hang out with as well but I always just snuck around behind my parents backs and hung out with who ever the hell I wanted to hang out with. I had to lie a lot and I feel terrible about it but then my parents realized that I DO make responsible choices.. I mean hell! They let me hang out with my 21 year old best guy friend who Im pretty much dating. But when I was 16 I wasn’t allowed to hang out with my 17 year old boyfriend. Everyone goes through this and you just have to rough it out until you’re 18.

You can become emancipated thats what I’m planning on doing. You need to have to have a way to support yourself, a place to live, and to pay for health insurance to get emancipated. I know exactly how you feel it really annoys me when people say don’t leave and run away you don’t when believe it or not the people that are actually trying to find out information are the ones that even though the odds may be against them, they will pull through because they are using their resources such as the internet to find out information so please do us all a favor and STFU.

Why would you want to run away? Im sure there are people who love you and will not want you to leave. You would probably have the cops out looking for you. Don’t be stupid girl. I know as teenagers we tend to think “My life sucks! I hate my parents and everyone around me!” Learn to appreciate what you have and also don’t run away from any problems (if that might be the case) things would only get worse.

I’m tired of being here. I’m tired of being told who I can and can not see. I have a plan. I know what I’m going to do. I’m not being stupid. I just don’t see any reason for being here if I’m not having fun. Screw everything and have fun. Love life. And Live the way you want. Thats what I’m going to do. I just want to know how good I’m going to have to hide. And for how long. Til I’m 18? 17? what?

Well, you should of been more clear about that because people are here to give advice she had no idea what your situation was or anything… well, you most likely shouldn’t of even asked if you know what you are going to do if your set to do whatever you are going to do well do it… and you will probably have to hide until 18 because then your considered an adult.

I wasn’t asking if I should or should not do it. I asked what would happen. She starting off on why I shouldn’t do it.

But thanks. I can do that. Or I can get a fake ID under a different name so I won’t have to hide.

Seriously, stop living in the moment and think about your future. If you run away, you will end up in jail. Your future will consist of living on the streets and doing anything to make ends meet. I don’t think you can even flip burgers at McDonalds without a high school diploma anymore. Get an education and get yourself away from whatever it is you want to run from.
