Answer 2

I'd think that one through if I were you - running is what you do when you have run out of options, it is risky and you could end up getting hurt and those experiences will stay with you your whole life. If you have the option, I would get your yourself some money together before you leave home, and make sure you have a good back up plan if secret boyfriend guy doesn't work out, i.e. good friend who's place you can crash if need be. What happened to one person when they ran away from home is not going to be what happens to you and a lot of what happens out there people would rather just block. It depends a lot on luck, resilience, experience. If you are under 18 you are taking a real gamble and if will be life-changing, and not in a good way so I would talk to someone about this, really whilst you still have some control over the situation.

Ok, at 22, it's not running away anymore, it's getting out. The most they can do is just file a missing person's report on you. But don't sneak and leave, just pack up everything first, have him waiting with the car running outside and then tell them you're leaving if things are that bad. Or if they don't want him in the yard or don't want to meet him, have him wait around the corner somewhere so no confrontations arise. But you're an adult, just don't let him milk the cow for free if he doesn't plan on buying it. I hope he's at least asked you to marry him. I ran away one time as a teen and only got about 4 blocks away and here comes my mom in her car begging me to get in because my dad had called the cops for them to come pick me up and take me to the juvenile detention center. I got in and stayed with someone else until things cooled off and now I'm back here with my dad at 23 and I can do what I want!

Answer 5

Yes I ran away from home but went back when it got cold and dark, you shouldn't just go running off without telling your mam and dad, talk to them and tell them how you feel about your boyfriend and show them how mature you are to be able to do it with their blessing, running away is been a bit childish, do it the right way and you will always have the support of your parents to go back to if you ever need to, good luck.

Answer 6

Answer 7

how old are you? if you are over 16 and left school then do it no one can stop you, but be mature about tell your parents your not being mature if you run away without telling parents they would be worried sick and phone the police, grow up first before thinking of this

Answer 8

I did once. But they found me and took me back home and I realised that running away was a stupid thing to do considering I was running away from people who loved me very much.

Answer 9

Moving away is not the same as running away. Which do you want to do? Think very carefully what running away would do to your parents before doing it. Whatever their mistakes, do they deserve such heartache?

Answer 10

Well at 22 I would think you could probably move away - without "Running Away"......
