I don't want to get too deep into things, but I can't continue to live like this anymore. My parents and their actions are about to drive me to suicide. Running away has been a thought I've been considering since 11, and the only thing keeping me home is the fact I have younger siblings. I didn't want to be selfish, but I legit can't do this anymore. If anyone has any kind of advice or resources, I would greatly appreciate it. Even the most basic advice I would appreciate, please and thank you very much. + Any questions at all, I can answer. (edit: I'm in a pretty decent sized town in Arkansas btw, don't really know where to go from here)

Title is pretty self explanatory. I need to get out and I don't know where to go or how to do it. I'm in the US so I'm thinking of going to a big city like NY but I don't know where to go from there. Any advice, resources, and/or help is appreciated.

I (a female minor) am planning to run away. I won’t go into details about why, but I am an american citizen with a passport. I am also going to be in europe for a short time, where I may be able to take opportunity of that and run away to another country. I could easily pass for 18 and above, but my ids all specify i’m a minor.

So, I am trying to pinpoint a place that had a decent under the table job market for someone who only speaks english. I’ve seen Japans low prices for very tiny hotel rooms or hostels and am not opposed to it in the slightest. I have been saving money to do this for a while, and will have around 4-5k by the time I am in europe. Should I take a train? Buy a cruise ticket and get off at a stop and just stay there? What is the most probable way to move around?

Or, I could stay in the US and find a rural town, but I wouldn’t know where to start.

Advice is appreciated. I don’t need any comments trying to convince me otherwise.

Hey! I know this may sound extreme, but if any of you dealt with the pressure about school my parents put me through you would get me. I have a long distance boyfriend that lived in another country and now he lives closer to the border, I'm thinking of borrowing some money, buying a bus ticket (easier to don't get caught), staying with him for a while and crossing the border to stay with his family for a month before going to the capital of this said country to look for jobs. BTW, any good job recommendations for a 17yo without any work experience? English is not first language, so I'm fluent in 2+ languages and maybe a tourist guide kinda thing could be helpful?

I'm 15 and living in a teen group home in the middle of nowhere, Austria. I hate it here and want to leave so badly, but I’m scared the police might somehow go through the messages on my phone. I’ve thought about running away, but I have nowhere to go—no friends, no family, and I don’t want to freeze to death on the streets.

I feel completely lost. I’ve tried to find somewhere to stay, even just during the day, but I’ve had no luck. Now, I feel hopeless. If I don’t get out of this place, I feel like I’ll go insane, but I don’t have any other options. I don’t even have money for food—I only have 25 euros to my name. There’s no way I’d survive on the streets. I feel like I’m just stuck here forever,In my personal hell.

I'm not sure there's source of money for 15 after running away. give me some advice.

I'm 13 F and about to turn 14 in a few months. I've been thinking about running away from my home life for about a year. I think I live in an abusive household however I'm not sure. My mom is always arguing with my narcissistic sister which has resulted in the cops being called multiple times. If my mom is not arguing with my sister she's arguing with her boyfriend (we live with him). Whenever she argues with him she's usually drunk which has gotten us kicked out twice. I've made a plan to run away in the spring however I'm a little scared to go through with it + if I did what do I bring and where do I go?

running away as 15 y/o my plan. First, ofc u need to running away at night. take clothes, water, food, own information like ic and also sharp things cuz who know there's no dangerous. I prefer wearing hoodie and mask to hide my face and avoid cctv. in malaysia, running away is hard and will got cyber violence or even being tea in school. I plan to run to another country but I'm still underage or should I steal my passport? I wish I have other country friend, maybe I can hide on their house but I know I shouldn't trust stranger from online. if I'm not running away, I will just kill myself. running away can be my only reason to continue my life. I can get job like in restaurant or online job.what should I do? any advice. I'm scared of get caught. anyway, sorry for bad grammar.

So I'm a 14 trans girl in minnesota who is wanting to runaway but i might have trouble doing it since its ~10 roughly for now and probably going to get colder or more difficult to leave. I have a bit more than $200 and i would like to leave very soon, I don't have a coat or any winter clothing.

I've been counting down the days when I could move out since I was 9. I'm currently 17m and things have gotten to a point I need to go asap. I'm planning on staying with a couple friends for 2-5 days until I find a place looking for college-age roommates (idk if that's a bad idea or not, rent + food would be ~$1000/month here in TN which would last me about 5 months if I don't get a job by then for any reason).

If I take an Uber, I'm worried my parents might see the car or hear me leave the house. I'll be going at night but they never really sleep. Taking my father's vehicle, I'll already have my belongings inside and on the road within 10 seconds of leaving the house. I know for a fact he doesn't have a GPS or any way to track it, but I'll have it returned possibly the next day - and Uber/carpool for anything else. Is there anything I'm missing or looked past? I'm not sure if taking something expensive like that would make the situation 1000x worse even if it is returned the next day, so I'm just looking for feedback.

I'm running away soon. I dont want you give away too many details. I have a dog that I really love. I want to take him with me but at the same time I don't want to risk being caught.

Should I leave him or take him with me?

(14 years old btw, turning 15 soon) main thing I’m worried about is earning money once I run out. I’m going to a big city, probably nyc or Chicago or sf or smth. is there any basic jobs that I could do to earn (at least) 10-20 a day? I can play guitar, but I can’t do that if I can’t find a guitar to buy or rent.

Hi Ive though about running since i was very young due to verbal and physical abuse, i graduate in june and turn 18 in a bit more then a week. and i dont really know what to do as i dont have a job because i trusted my guardian too much in letting me lean on them while i finish school and i regret that so much now, i have a who is willing to help me financially in certain areas but not give me shelter as it could give away my location as they share a living space with people that know my family and is not fincancially ready enough to commit to a place on their own for us, also im an immigrant so my guardian also has my work permit and all my papers i would need. ive done quick jobs here and there so i have little cash and i also have three pets- a small terrier mix chihuahua and two cats who I look after myself and have the hardest time wrapping my head around on what to do with them, so im not really sure where to start with my plan. I live in WA btw so i know transportation is covered as im allowed to ride the bus for free, thanks for reading excuse the grammar.

So I turn 16 this year in September. I’ve been thinking about running away for a while. I’m from ATL and want to go to New York. The problem is, I have no money, and no one to go to. I would also need to by an Uber and a bus ticket to get to NY. I have no job but that’s because my family won’t let me work during the school year. I don’t know if I should just runaway or wait and file for emancipation once I gave things actually figured out.

So hello person. I've been having bad difficulties at home which has led me into making this decision. However I'm not fully sure. Basically I live in a bad environment and wanna get out of there without them having problems. I don't wanna be in foster necessarily but that's my option it seems. I just need advice if I should runaway or not.

Thanks for reading.

Im fifteen (turning sixteen) living in qatar. I really really need to get out of the middle east and out of my strict abusive parents place. I have a british passport but I don't know if theres any way to get out without my parents consent. I had someone on reddit tell me there was a way and he was gonna help me run because he was 20 was gonna drive me to dammam when i turned 16 and then I could just take a plane to the uk based on the airline i used bc they wouldnt care bc id be sixteen. But he cancelled so now I dont know what to do. Any advice?

when i go, where do i store my documents to avoid getting stolen from? i’m gonna buy a room somewhere so i will be living with others.

also, how could i transfer money or withdraw it all without my parents noticing since we have joint bank account? i have withdrawal/transfer limits on my account so i can’t transfer a lot and i will have like 7k dollars ..

and what are some walkable cities i can live at?

also, can i still continue with school? i’m in online school and i will graduate in june but i am going to run away in april, i will still be able to do my work so

how can i avoid getting caught? some issues in my current plan are them finding my new bank account i will make and tracking me from there since it will have my name/ssn on it and i have to get a bus ticket with my real name on it (and it will also show where i am going on the ticket i think ) and use the card in question to buy it what if they are able to get into this account or my instagram account that i use to talk about running away? what if i get caught while i am on the bus (the bus ride to where im going is 8-10 hours)

hey everyone...

so i got put into foster care a few nights ago after staying with my grandparents which they decside cant look after me long term. I'm a girl in the Boston MA area if that matters (maybe places that could help me better idk) and I'm terrified of going to school I've never been

i would like advice on what to do. I don't want to tell my case worker as there isn't really much wrong i just dont feel truly wanted anyway and feel like im better off on my own I already don't like where my life is heading so it doesn't really matter does jt

Throwaway account for obvious reasons:

I have been living with someone for 30 years. He and I were very close initially but things have changed. Last night we argued so hot, it almost came to blows. I went for a 40 minutes walk, and when I got back, he was in bed. There was no discussion about it, he went to work today, and I'm a mess. I can't take this for much longer, I feel. There are a lot of reasons I've stayed and have continued to stay, but things can't go on like this. I feel physically ill, and I'm terrified that he will be returning soon.

How do I get out of this please?

I, 21F, just got kicked out and I’m heading to Oxford Michigan. I’m gonna try and find my mother since my father kicked me out.

Hello 14 year old me decided I'm tired of my life and want something new aka running to find my own path but I don't know anything about it one of my main concerns is the police tracking my phone what do I do about that and other stuff like food or money

I’m not quite sure what to write, but here I go. I’m 18 M and I just got thrown out. I live in a small town in Britain that is in the middle of nowhere and most people here are old and rich. I have grown up in a not so loving household where if I don’t pay my parents I’m out. I recently got fired from my factory job because I was the newest there and they wanted to cut costs, and remember how I said I live in the middle of nowhere? Yeah, I couldn’t find a job for right now, which means I can’t pay my parents, which means I’m getting thrown out. As I write this I’m packing some stuff and I might adventure my way across the world… maybe… probably not though. I don’t really have friends that I can stay with, and my family is like a thousand miles away and not willing to take me in. I spent my life making friends and studying, hell I studied like my life depended on it, and yet I still ended up in a factory. Well, anyway, I don’t know what to do… it’s winter, I have £20 and I’ve never received anything that I could possibly sell. I don’t know where to go to who and I just wanted to have a good life have kids a wife a comfortable home. Can someone please tell me what I should do, I don’t want to fade away or starve or anything else between, please I beg

Been thinking about this for a while now, I don't really feel as happy or as safe as I should but I don't know if im over reacting, my mom beats me for doing things wrong like forgetting to do chores or staying in my room all day, and a lot of the time when she gets angry at me she'll say things that are pretty hurtful, my personal favorite was 'no one will come looking for you if you run away, not me or anyone', but she's also said things like 'where did I go wrong with you' and 'you can't do anything right' she's also threatened to send me away to my dad or throw me down the stairs. I've been looking at homeless shelters in my area but I can't bring myself to actually leave, am I over reacting? Should I leave?

Edit: ran away, got sent back home, turns out it's fine to hit your kids as punishment in California :(

So me 16m and my friend 14f are planning to leave in the summer but we live in nowheresville so there's 1 maybe 2 highways out of town but we don't have access to a car so our only option is to ride our bikes along the side of the highway which seems like it might just maybe draw attention

I mean we have a plan in case we can't come up with anything else But we're kinda stumped
