as a parent and former teenager that ran away.... I'm not going to try to talk you out of it.... just know that you won't get respect outta doing this, you'll just be grounded for life and in ALOT of trouble and worse off then you were in the beginning. also know this..... you have to give respect in order to receive it, and as teenagers we don't actually give it to our parents, but this you won't completely realize till your grown up and have children of your own.

Alright since you aren't being talked out of this... here are some things that you might want to think about....
1. Your parents are going to be worried sick... They will have probably called the SWAT team...
2. Your parents are only doing whats best for you...
3. Something really bad might happen 2 u and your friend...
4. No hotel will let children stay there without an adult...
5. MONEY!!!
6. Running away is def. not going to give you anymore respect or privlege or make your parents appreciate you more... By running away, they will probably lock you in a jail house... underappreciated even more!!! *wink* *wink*
alright now... if you're by the beach, then go TRY to stay at a hotel on the beach... enjoy it...
umm... idk if your by the mountains stay at some lodge or cabin...
I really don't know anything you could do... sorry. but an idea like yours has never come 2 mind...

This sounds rather childish if you ask me. Running away from your problems are never the answer. If your parents are strict or give you a hard time about school work etc... That is just a way of them showing you that they care about you. To say that you are "under appreciated" makes me feel you are acting spoiled.
Unless your parents are physically or mentally abusing you, you should just sit down and speak with them. If they dont like what you say or wont listen to you, then speak to someone at school. You also have to think of the consequences that could follow when you do return, will you be in trouble with school, or maybe punished by your parents? Running away is the first step into losing trust in your parents. They will see this as a childish act and not respect you.
And when you run away for 4 days, where will you sleep, eat, or go? If you are a minor your parents can call the cops, and have them searching for you. And take it from me if you have no where to sleep, little money or no where to go its not easy to survive in the world. There are a lot of creeps, and running away is a prime example to hurting yourself or opening yourself up to being hurt by others. I cant talk you out of running away, but I hope you will stay safe, and hopefully grow up a little bit after this dilemma.

Nobody in this world is going to respect you for running away. That is so childish! You want to know why your parents do not respect you? Because you are acting like a little brat!! Don't you have anything better in life to do? Do you realize how very lucky you are to HAVE PARENTS? I live in South Africa and I am involved in a scheme that feeds aids orphans. We have over 1 million children living in their homes, without parents to look after them. In some cases, the head of the house is 8 years old. With no social well-fare like you have in the US. This little 8 year old boy must make a plan to feed his younger brothers and sister. He is scared and alone in this world and when we arrive he has a huge, friendly smile on his face. Now HE is brave and he deserves respect. Shame on you for being such a mindless little brat and start looking around you. Think about something else than the big ME.

That is defiantly not a good idea! I repeat, NOT A GOOD IDEA. If you and ur friend go away for 5 days, that will definably stir up some attention. Technically, a person must be gone for 2 days before considered missing. Your parents will probably call the cops. Running away will most likely get ur parents to trust u less. Before u go and do something rash like this, think over the consequences. I think in this situation, there will be far more bad consequences than good. Just don't do it.

Been there, tried that, came home in a cop car. Don't do it.
You will not get respect from your parents for this. They will be worried and upset. I have kids now, and my wife and I would absolutely go through the roof if one of them pulled something like that.
If you want appreciation, make the honor roll, find a way to pay your own way through college, or do like I did and join the military and move out of the house while you still know everything.

Okay first of all by running away you will not gain ANY respect. Your parents will obviously call the police and then when they find you and ask why you ran away and you say to gain respect they will slap you across the face. Second um where are you going to sleep for 4 nights? In an alleyway?? Why so you can get raped and get HIV and AIDS and Hepititus B and then die. Wow respect for sure.

You are both retarded. You are trying to earn your parents respect by acting like a bunch of childish morons. I hope they change the locks while you are gone, then you can try and live on your own and realize how important your parents really are. If you don't like their rules, it is probably something wrong with you, more than likely you are an unnappreciative, spoiled brat who does nothing to deserve respect.
Go ahead and run away, hopefully your parents don't even notice, because kids like you don't deserve parents that actually care!

All I know is that running away from a problem doesn't solve it.Why don't you find out why your parents don't respect you?Everybody is underappreciated to a certain degree. That's life!Good luck and I hope you come to your senses.

ok seriously do you really think that will gain respect by running away.. i know you said not to talk you out of it but you need to seriously think about it... two wrongs dont make a right.. you would rather be selfish and make your parents pressure go high all because of your selfish acts.. are you kidding me.. you are one of the reasons why i'm afraid to have kids... you are basically planning one of the worst experience for your parents and you want people to help you figure out what to do while you are on your adventure.. how old are you and how do you look that way if i see your missing paper anywhere i know who you are
