Ugo answered Monday March 24 2008, 1:37 am:
Considering your age, I would guess your skills for gainful employment are pretty limited, and even if they weren’t, you can not be legally employed anywhere in the United States until you are sixteen. Even if you happened to be sixteen, your parents have legal authority over you until your are eighteen years of age. This means that in the event you were to runaway, they would report you missing, and in the event you ran into a law enforcement officer, they would have the right to apprehend you and return you home. Given that it is illegal to employ someone your age, any one who willfully employs you is probably up to no good, and looking to take advantage of you. Regardless of gender, most runaway teens your age usually end up getting forced into illegal labor, such as drug trafficking or becoming sex slaves and many more never live to tell their stories.
I am sorry, I know I am going against your request here, but the best tip I have for you is not to run. Perhaps write back and tell me about what adversities you are experiencing in your home?
Good luck.

I dont sugest you run away what about school and you can always get a concler. But if you insist on running ill give u some advice. I sugest you go in foster care you can get a job and such but no home owner in there right mind will sell you a house and your friends can only have you for awhile. Foster care is your best option they will give you a house and food for free and you can still get education. And they do take you to a differnt city so you wont be in sesser anymore.

I hope my anwswer will give you some idea on what to do best of luck!!

I live in a small town too. I love my family and have always wanted to leave my house...but I decided to wait...getting my driver's license almost 3 years ago was the best thing that ever happened to me. I wasn't home very often so I almost never saw my parents and when I was home I made sure that they weren't. I know that probably sounds terrible, it's just what I wanted...but even when they are home we get along more now. I tried running away once but I learned that it's not the happiness you're looking for. You'll end up with no money on the street scraping for food. It's not the kind of life you'll want to live...but hey...tough it out through high school and then when you go to college move out. That's what I'm doing this summer (moving out). I also joined some extra curricular activities at school to help keep me out longer...I made tons of friends and hardly ever saw my parents. From someone who was just like you once...I promise you will regret it.
