Answer 1

DON'T, why not set your priorities right, now that you are young and have you're entire life to live. Get your High school Diploma, that has to be your first priority, get yourself educated so you don't end up working your entire life at a MC Donald's or at a supermarket, you've had some jobs before but you don't want to earn $5 an hour, your goals need to be higher than that, probably get a career, where you can get the big money, and then just then when you already have a career, you can find a "real job", then you can think in moving out. I know how excited could it be to move in with your friends, and all...but that's just not reality, reality is: You will need money for rent, for food, for transportation (whether is a car with insurance, or the bus), bills ,bills and more bills, and when you realize you're too late to go back and start over. Please think twice about taking that decision.

Answer 2

First, why do you all want to "run away". Are you being abused and if so, why haven't you gone to the police. It is a cruel thing to just leave and not let your parents know where you are. Just watch the news about people missing for years or found dead and what the families go through. If you and your friends want to be on your own, fine, you are not of age though and I would say very immature in your thinking. Before you leave (unless you are in danger, then you need to go to the police now) you need to have a game plan. A job, more than $1000 saved because you will need a security deposit and the first month's rent to get into a place (CA is very expensive), money for the phone, PGE, Water, Garbage, food, clothes, entertainment, transportation. Why is it life and death yet you can wait 2 years??? Don't quite understand.

Answer 3

I ran away when I was sixteen. Ran out of money fast and ended up living in a car...not fun. If you are really in a life/death situation. Go to the police...now!
Running away is not easy and really it doesn't really solve anything. If you really are responsible and in a BAD situation you can go to court and become an emancipated minor. You would get the legal rights of an adult and your parents would no longer be responsible for you. You can then live your life as you see fit. But first try talking to an adult you trust. When I don't know what to do I make a list of all the bad things and all the good things about a situation. It helps to make you think things through. Good luck.

Answer 4

life or death situation, that's deep to express urself about the situation. if your in a serious problem try talking to a family member u are connected with and u trust. i don't believe u should run off with your friends just like that. look at all the stories, and things like that do happen. i say it's safer to go with a family member that supports u. plan to get a job and save the little money u do have. remember it takes a while to get a job and 1000 $ isn't enough. just try talking to some relatives and expressing yourself, right now you are important. noone will take care of u the way only u can. think about it carefully.

Answer 5

i was going to do the same thing, 1000 dollars wont get you far, just suck it up man. i know it gets hard, but when you're 18 you'll have more options and you'll be able to take care of yourself, if your parents are abusive or something like that, tell someone, and stay with a friend, and search your LEGAL options.

running away will scare your parents, the police will be looking for you. this message will be in the evidence to find you and you will be ******. and your parents will have their close eye on you from here till you're 18. so pretty much, you've already messed up. just wait :).

Answer 6

Dont run away. Learn to deal with lifes problems, if you start running now (youre only 16) you'll always be running away from things that you believe are too hard to work through. My advice, stik around, the problem will sort itself out, it may not be what you want but it will still work out. If youre really concerned and believe it is literally life and death i think you really shoudl be talking to your parents about this.

if you choose to run away now with 2 friends an you only have $1000 between you, you will not be homeless but possibly will be. You cant always guarantee employment and wherever you run to - its obviously going to cost money getting there with bus tickets, airfares or petrol costs. Just think hyperthetically if you leave, you get to wherever u want to be, you cant get employment for a few weeks but you have to pay rent/accommodation to live under a roof, you have to buy food for 3 people and if you arent going to tel your parents, im pretty sure at 16 yrs of age they can ring the police and get them to find you as legally youre not an adult youre still under their custody. just think about it seriously. it could work, but theres alot of things against you.

good luck whatever you decide to do.

Answer 7

If your 18 your can do it legally. But if you plan on doing this now while you are 16, you can't do it. your parents can call the cops and they will force you to stay with your parents.

I suggest you stay out of the house as much as possible (if it is life and death) and save as much money as you can from your jobs.

As soon as you hit 18, get you butt outta there.

Answer 8

I would suggest stacking a little more dough on your own and its not considered to be running away if you are 18 but dont be dumb and leave and have to come right back if you are going to leave regardless make sure you do it on a positive note so in the event things dont work out as planned you will at least be able to come back if you need to moral of it all is dont burn your bridges babygurl be responsible and be mature!!

Answer 9

well, logically, no you cant. ure under 18 and wherever u go they can take u back. i dont wanna be like everyone else and say go to college b/c i know its not that simple. my sis went thru the same thing and the only advise i can give you from her experiences is just hang on 2 more years...she finally did get away but at least it was legal, in a safe college...i hope you get thru whatever ure going thru.
ure favorite answerer.

Answer 10

i can only suggest check out where you would like to go --- see about accomodation and jobs --- if you have friends that want to go with you it makes it a bit better --- they can do the same --- plan the move --- make sure you have what you are taking and leaving --- then follow the plan --- get a prepaid mobile and let your parents have the number so they can at least talk to you --- if you do it correctly you will be safe in a home and your parents will know you are safe
