running away
I really wanna runaway, I'm not abused or anything, but I don't really get out much, and I wanna have an adventure. I read into it and learned that if I'm caught I could get a police record or have to see a psychologist. I have family members who are cops, and live in New York, so can someone tell me what I need to do? BTW, I'm 10.

When I was your age I always ran away from home trust me its not worth it. When ever you are just walking down a street by yourself sometimes a policeofficer will pull over and take you home or you could even be taken away from your family. I know it seems like you don't get out but if you don't runaway you will earn your parents or parent trust and be able to go out. Don't make the same mistake I always did.

Running away isnt something you should be thinking about at your age. Your still very young and as for going out and having an adventure you have plenty of time to do that. Running away will only get you in trouble and will definietly upset your parents you may be young but you should always think of what your actions will do to those around you. Focus on school and when your older im sure you'll be able to go on as many adventures as you would like in the mean time ask your parents to take you somewhere, get involved in an activity, form a group with friends.

Do not run away!! Face your problems. Be stronger than you are. Ive wanted to run away when I was about 13. Im 16 now but don't do it, your family loves you wether u think they do or not. It will be a big mistake!! & on your record!

10? Where will you go ? Who will take care of you being that you are only a child and unfortunately can not yet fly on your own?
I know you want to be adventourous because you are so young but there are orher ways of doing so than putting your life in danger or by making choices that will scar. Have you considered talking to your parents telling them you feel trapped maybe a bit more liberty? You can abuse it either
If you compromise with your parents and they agree for a bit of liberty than you have to obey the rules that follow.
Dont run away it is a bad experience !
Be young and have fun while you can because when adulthood comes and its time to pay your own bills you will wish to be 10 again!

If you need times to get out and do special things just for you to experience, a perfect solution would be to join big brothers /big sisters and get matched up to someone older than you, maybe college age who would take you out and do special events, like going to a ball game, going bowling, putt putt golf, day at the beach, etc... The adventures are still close to home, you're in the protective company of an adult, but someone young enough to be fun and adventurous. The streets are no place for a 10 year old to be unaccompanied. those who take advantage of and prey on children are really good at spotting kids who are on their own, having run away for whatever reason and once they capture you, it is hard to get away, you have a horrible adventure and no more freedom...just ask the cop relatives, they could share horror stories with you of young children forced to do sex acts and other terrible situations.

Theres an enroll child button so looks like you'll need the parents approval for this. I would seriously consider this. If they are not too keen on signing you up, that may be the time to share with them how you've been feeling and that this would be a safer way for you get out and experience some adventures. Good luck
