My parents get on my nerves sometimes too. Don't runaway though-you can get in SERIOUS trouble with the law that way and not only that but what about your family? What I do when I'm mad at them is write down why I'm mad or talk to a close friend and they help me cool off. Hang in there, I feel your pain and all you can do is tell them how you feel and try to negociate until you're old enough to move out. I'm sure they love you too. :)

I understand that you feel that way now. Hey, I have been there. But, they are your parents. Running away is only going to cause you and everyone else in your life grief. Not to mention the dangers that are out there waiting for you if you do. So many creeps out there today preying on kids just like you. All they do is set the bait, so to speak, by telling you they understand and that they can give you a better life and so on, then next thing you know you're just another unsolved homicide because no one knew who you were with or where you were.
I know parents can be somewhat demanding of their children. I should know. I am a parent. Yes, I too was in your shoes as far as my parents ticking me off to the point where I wanted to run away. You parents may just be looking out for your best interests. Of course you never really gave any detail to your argument, so it is hard to offer substancial advice that may fit your situation.
Just, whatever you do, don't run. You start running from your problems now, you could be running the rest of your life from the same problems that keep resurfacing.
Another thing to think of is this: Right now you have a roof over your head, a meal to eat, a warm place to sleep, a computer to chat on, you probably don't have to pay for any bills, and most of all the love of your family. Are you really willing to leave all that? If you do, how will you survive? On the streets? Seriously think about the cause and effect theory.
Good luck and God bless........This too shall pass.......

I don't think you should run away! If your parents are just getting on your nerves...I can sympathize...I was there about 8 years ago. Of course if you are in some kind of abusive situation you need to let someone of authority know. You know being 27 I still don't understand why my parents didn't let me do somethings and let me do others. It's like they have no idea what is actually going on in your life. You can be out with your friends and still do the same things you wanted to do when you asked if you could be with your boyfriend...It's stupid, but maybe they are just trying to protect you from things that could potentially happen. If you parents love you they will do what they think will prevent unwise choices that you might make. Hang in there...you are only young once and before you know it you will have things like mortgages to worry about. Good luck...don't run away!

Okay running away is not the answer. But because you are obviously young, I'm going to entertain your childishness.
Run away -- figure out: where you will sleep by yourself, what u will eat by yourself, how you will treat minor injuries and illnesses alone(we'll ignore major ones for the sake of simplicity) by yourself, fend off predators (sexual, social, and financial) by yourself, find a job or legal source of income by yourself, get your homework done and to all of your pressing practices, parties, meetings and such, by yourself, examine your choices and decision with no real life experience by yourself. Go for it.
I'm sure you'll find that mom and dad are not that bad.
Now if your are being abused, seek help -- the police, school councelors, a trusted adult, a teacher, a hospital. Any of those will help u.
Otherwise, wait your turn! Yes, you've heard this all your life and it's true. You will have a chance to do it all by yourself soon enough and then you will really understand that moms and pops ain't that bad.

Running aways is never the right thing to do. I don't know what kind of argument you and your parents are in, but try to communicate with them. Remember that if they get in your case is cause they love you and want the best for you.
If you feel you can't talk to them, go see your counselor at school. Maybe they can help you communicate with your parents.
By running away you'll be harming yourself more than your parents. Don't do it.

Running away is not a good idea. Just go to your room and close the door. Read a book. Stay online. Lose yourself in a different subject. This thing with your parents will pass. They love you. Think about all the good things. ((((((((((((((TRACIE))))))))))))))
Hug for You! Hang in there! Almost everyone feels like running away at some time - even adults. It shows remarkable good character to hold your ground. God bless you!

Running away wouldn't fix things - b/c then you'd be poor, homeless, and like the first guy said you'd have no health insurance.
Stick it out (my GOODNESS I know it s**ks)...get through college. Go somewhere far away. This will give the best possible shot at being able to support yourself completely so that, if they really are horrible people, you can rid yourself of them forever. Get a job - it's a good excuse to get out of the house (and money doesn't hurt) plus it will help you to feel better about yourself.
But seriously - graduate from college before you think about bookin' it!! Go somewhere far away - somewhere you've always wanted to vist - and somewhere totally inconvenient for them to visit.

running away is not the right thing to do. Talk to someone. But best of all face the issue you will be better off for it.

Running away? Not a good idea. Stay in school, get a good education (And fix that atrocious grammar of yours) so you can get a good job, so you can get plenty of money and laugh in their faces. Why did they upset you in the first place? Every kid has the same problem getting mad at their parents.

It sounds like you need to stay in school and take an English class or too. If you run away you'll be home in a year, tops. Trust me, I ran away when I was 14.....nobody wants to harbor a runaway (big jail time).
