Answer 1

I found this on the internet. Maybe you can get in touch with them for some advice?

National Runaway Hotline/ National Runaway Foundation
1-800-621-4000 TDD: 800-621-0394
Provides crisis intervention and travel assistance to runaways. Referals to shelters nationwide. Operates 24 hours

I'm sure you can call them and you won't even have to give them your name so no one will find out it is you. Not sure if these calls are free in the USA (I'm from England)? But, if you do anything, please speak to someone first. There's nothing worse than leaving home only to find out it is going to be something you will regret.

Answer 2

Being able to defend yourself physically isn't the only skill you need to protect yourself from harm. You have to sleep someplace safe. That costs money. You have to protect yourself from predators who know how to say pretty words and convince you to make choices that are not in your best interests. That takes experience, maturity, and a well-developed BS detector.

As others have said, $200.00 will barely keep you for a week if you have to pay for food and shelter. Where will you work to pay your own way once the money is gone? You have no marketable skills, and in most places, you're not old enough for an honest employer to hire.

If you want to run away because you are being abused in any way, talk to the police or your school counselor. If you want to run away because you're tired of having to obey your family's rules, just suck it up for another three years.

Answer 3

sure, pack a few things in your bag, dont forget clean underwear.hit the streets. you'll have $200? wow, that will really get you far. after looking for a place to sleep, under a bridge, in an old abandoned car, cardboard board box. you can set up a nice little home for yourself. no family to tell you what to do with it. then when you run out of money, or it is stolen, you can go around looking at outside cafes to see if any food was left on the tables, or dig thru garbage cans looking for food. or you can sell yourself, and risk getting killed. because, after all, you have to eat. oh, and when you start stinking, go into a bus terminal bathroom, they have sinks where you can wash up. some man stalking you? no problem. you were taught kick boxing. you can defend yourself. even if you are stuck with a dirty needle and drugged. not to mentioned getting raped. but your 15, you know how to fight. i forgot about that. how silly of me. so your parents don't like your boyfriend, want you to obey a few rules, be in by curfew, keep your room clean, and grades up. your friends want you to do every thing they do and make fun of you if you don't. wow. sounds easier to stay home and deal with it for 3 more years. but if you figure out away to be on your own, at 15, with a good job, house, plenty of food, hot shower, and all that. then please e-mail me, it will be interesting to hear about.

Answer 4

i'll give you a tip (don't)
be a strong person and work your problems out.

unless your are being beaten. even then there are people to call.

i was thrown out at 14 for waking my mom up when i came in.

not that i'm complaining. i learned alot about life because of this.

but most get in a lot of trouble leaving home at your age.

your best bet is to not runaway from your problems.
stand and fight. you will be better off

Answer 5

I can't do that I'm afraid. I've never done it myself. Although I remember feeling like it as a child. And knowing how to hit someone isn't all the world is about and certainly won't lead you to happiness.

You don't really say why you are so unhappy. Is there anyone you can talk to? Are there any support telephone lines in your area. A problem shared is a problem halved, and this is so true. Please try to find someone to talk to first. You might find another route.

Answer 6

your 15? your my age?!?! why do you want to run away? If someone is abusing you...then go to the police. I know sometimes i feel like running away....but then i think...im being way to selfish about this....this wont just affect me.

Think about who you'd be hurting:
1. Friends AND classmates
2. Family wether you like them or not they still care about you. They will be searching for you for days, weeks, months wondering what happend to their baby....and your extended family, aunts, uncles, grandparents....cousins etc etc
3. Your neighborhood...many people in you know in the neighborhood will miss you too!
4. Your whole community. You'll be on TV, missing posters this affects everyone
5. This also effects police....and tax payers. If your family looks for you (which they will) They will spend many hours and money on you.

I like to put other before myself....You must think this through all the way....If you want you can email me and talk if you want!! =] I love helping people....do you have AIM?

Answer 7

Bon Jovi - Runaway BA: Yeah, it variety of feels they could continuously stop at my homestead on their way and that i might want to talk them out of it. per chance it truly is why they stopped by. I ran away at the same time as i grow to be in severe college. I bumped into my ideal (lady) pal at the same time as i grow to be in basic terms escaping the carry close of the vice vital. I desire I hadn't, because she fearful a lot about me. BA2: I genuinely do not comprehend. a number of them submit it on thier profile

Answer 8

You are not looking at the whole picture. How long can you survive on $200.00? What will you do for money, when that runs out?
I suggest you talk to someone who would be willing to listen to you and offer suggestions to you, other than running away.
I'm sure there are places to call, in your area, that can help you.

Answer 9

stay at home first that is not enough money to live off of. You will hurt your family. and you should talk to them about the problems you are having.
