I'm sorry that he had to move that far away but there's nothing you could've done to make that change all you could do is hope that he'll one day move back ....you shouldn't steal that's not right and that's not going to get you anywhere. Don't run away either you'd be leaving your family behind for again A BOY. Long distant relationships don't always work out good I'd suggest you come clean to your parents about this if they are understanding about it they could help you out your only 15 you shouldn't be thinking about running away .
This mightve not been what you wanted to hear but I'm just speaking the truth and sometimes truth hurts .
thelaura answered Friday December 21 2007, 2:44 pm: I can 100% guarantee everyone who answers this question will advice AGAINST you running away. Why? The list of reasons is endless. You are 15, your parents will be worried sick, you will get into alot of trouble once you're found and to be honest, no matter how much you save, the money will go very quickly.. especially if you're thinking of England as a destination. Then what will you do? Out of money and in a place you don't know.
Running away is no joke.
On the other hand:
Although I can sympathize with you totally. I know you want to be with your boyfriend.. and I know you're in love with each other, but the distance is a huge problem for you. Let me tell you, long distance relationships CAN work if you are both committed.. and you two seem pretty committed to me if you're thinking about running away with each other..
If I were in your shoes right now, I'd be saving up, just as you are, so I could visit him. Talk to your parents about it. Hopefully they will be okay with the idea.
Also, you are 15. If you are both serious about the relationship, it isn't THAT long until you are an adult and can make your own decisions, meaning you CAN be with him no matter the distance.
But believe me, running away will not do you any favours.. and to be honest, if you did, your parents would probably be against the idea of you ever seeing him again.
Think smart.. and do the right thing.
I wish you the best of luck. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

Razhie answered Friday December 21 2007, 1:03 pm: Steal, lie, cheat and decieve. Terrify your parents half to death. Cause a state-wide search for you and waste thousands of dollars in time and reasources.
Is that your plan? Because that plan sucks.
That is not what adults do when they are in love. That is the behavoir of a selfish chid who who deserves no respect at all. Unless you are a selfish child, act maturly and manage your love in a way that will make people respect and trust you.
Take that money you are 'saving' and call him on the telephone. Talk to your parents and his parents about visiting him. Prove yourself responsible and serious. It will take a long time as you and he build your relationship, save and plan but that is the only way to love honestly and if you aren't loving honestly, you aren't really loving at all.
Theivry and deciet will land you in a whole lot of trouble and a good chunk of danger. If you want to be able to love and travel and fight for that love the way an adult would it's time to grow up and not cling to fantasys. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
Michele answered Friday December 21 2007, 11:54 am: Please don't run away from home. Who is going to take care of you? You may have some money, but it will go fast. You need identification to even get a room to stay in, and even to buy a bus ticket to Indiana. Please don't hitch hike, it is way too dangerous. Your boyfriend can't help you, since he's been very sick and probably doesn't have any money either. His parents will freak out if you show up and call your parents and send you home. I know its hard, but you guys should try to be patient. When you are 18, you can go to Indiana legally. You can save up a lot of money between now and then and you to can be together if that is what you both want. Why not spend you time talking about the future, and make plans for the future with your boyfriend, and work towards that goal. That would be the most mature and sensible thing to do. After all, if he were in the service, serving in IRaq, you would wait for him wouldn't you. I mean if you really love each other like you say. Please don't run away. It won't get you want you want. I know you are lonely and feeling anxious, but you have no idea how much worse it can get. I do. I ran away myself when I was 15. I am lucky to be alive. I still remember the feelings, but I know I wasn't thinking straight. 18 is just 3 years away. If you make your plans and work towards your goals, it will go fast. You should be working on gaining employable skills so that that when you do turn 18, and graudate from HS, and move to indiana, you can get a job. he can do the same, then you can both be together and no one can stop you. You'll both be of legal age, and you'll be supporting yourselves. That is the only way to do it. And you have no heartaches, no legal problems, and no possible harm can come to you, that might happen if you run away as a minor. Discuss this with your boyfiend, see what he says.
Hope this helps.
Michele
