I need to know about running away......
When to run away, how, what to bring, ANYTHING!!
I have many reasons to run away, and trust me, you wouldn't want to hear them... but my dad is dead, my brother doesn't care, and my mom wouldn't look for me... I have no friends, and am hated by a lot of people... I am going to run away no matter what, don't try to tell me to stay where I am... just give me some tips, ect... Thanks!!
Thank you.
Answer:
first, look for a place to go. second, gather money. third, get a mountain backpack (the kind with an internal frame). on that pack should be a sleeping bag mount. (get a sleeping bag) also get a 1man tent, the pack should be able to hold that as well. you only need 3 sets of clothes. water is a must, buy some containers and pack about 3 gallons of water. food, get some of the bars that do not go bad. the next items you need are: rope, climbing harness, cribbers (the kind that hold 25-30 kn. kn=225 pounds), duct tape, blanket (a small but warm one), hammer, tent stakes, tarp (small, 8x5 is ok), flashlight, battery's, fire starters, knife (4" blade or longer), tree climbing steps (16), all purpose wire, containers (to put wild Berry's in. note:research what wild Berry's are OK to eat first), cook top (not as big as a grill, but something to cook food), water purification kit, and a first aid kit.
all these items are needed to run away and survive in the wild. if you get all this together, congratulations you can now run away. BUT it would cost over $2500 dollars to buy all this equipment, and (with out a car) the pack would be to heavy for any one to lift alone.
STAY PUT! things are never so bad that you have to run away.
Most importantly I would think thet you would need money, and lots of it.
You may find that people love you more than you think, so after a while, check back in at home.
you shouldn't run away, jut pray to God and trust him
Take all the money you can. Pack light, bring only what you need. Learn to shoplift and/or bargain. And find a group of mexicans to travel with.
Running away isn't going to help the problem go away.
I'm so sorry that you feel that way. However, and I know you don't want to hear this, but regardless you'd still be better off staying where you are, or if there's abuse involved contact CPS, and they can help you find someplace else to stay until you're old enough to be on your own.
well first u are gonna need to get a job that pays well enough for u to pay rent and food.. if you could find a roommate that would help out alot then you would only have to pay half of everything... but if i were u i would go live with a gradparent or someone u are related to. or i would contact the police or some one that could maybe help get u transfered to a group home.. id also suggest kids help phone.
More than things to bring, I guess if I were running away, I would plan to find out places to go or stay before I went. I'd then pack a large camping backpack full of stuff like clothes and whatnot to take with me. I'd also empty my bank accounts.
well if you are serious i think you should get some couseling running away will not solve anything but you sounds like you have had it pretty rough there are a lot of crazy sick people out there so think twice about what your doing if you think nobody loves you or cares Jesus does

Uhm okay...
Bring several cans of food , money, and a blanket (to carry the food and to keep you warm at night).
listen hunny, i ran away as a child coz i thought i had no friends and that my family diodnt care bout me. i found out how wrong i was. my family were heartbroken and the people i thought were not my friends allcampaigned to find me. your family loves u and so do your frinds... please dot do it... the worry u will cause will be fenominal.
i went to a youth hostel which took me in. i took all the clothes i needed.. BUT.. there was very evilpeople there who tried to turn me to theft and drugs.. they stole all my posessions as well. i was in hell and longed for my family.
it made me realise how great my family are.. trust me... dont do it.. you will regret it.
You better take some food and clothes because you won't have any money for food and clothes for a long time.
Probably not a good idea to do that in the winter time. Because you could freeze to death out there.
You are on a computer so you have some advantages.
What are they doing so terrible? Your not being abused sexually.
Your fathers dead so that's not it. Your brother doesn't care so he is not the problem. If your mom doesn't care than she can't be in your face. What kind of a job can you get?
How old are you? Do you have a car? Can't get a job with out a car? Don't think you have thought this through. Takes money and lots of it. Would you be better off somewhere else?
I mean don't you get food and a warm bed there?
There is rapist, pedofiles and muggers out there to deal with.
Try and find a place to live before you go, friends, other relatives, boys home, ect. You don't want to try and live on the streets. Make sure you have money and some clothes. canned food and a way to open it. A container to carry water in. If you have a tent and a wooded area around or a camp ground. You could hang out there until you figure out something better.
My advice is don't. Check with the local churchs or police. Often times they have some type of shelters for kids who do deceide to run away. The grass is not always green elsewhere. Get help somewhere. It is a cruel world if you try to take it on by yourself.
Take I.D. papers with you ( birth cert in plastic bag,etc ). Take a couple changes of clothes, not fancy clothes but sturdy on the street clothes. If you have a favorite item from your life, take it along( like a doll, etc ). You should talk to school counselors first, talk to church people, talk to social service agencies, before you run away. They can help you find a place to go to. I hate to see you have to take this drastic action. I wish you much Good Luck.
bring money and find a place to stay before u leave. if ur oldenough bring a licence or some kind of id so u can get one. dont worry so much about clothes as money and somewhere to sleep, a friends house would be better than a hotel, no down payment. be safe and dont beafraid to go home
If things are really that bad then try to find an adult that you can trust to help you get out of your home without running away...too many people that run away end up in alot worse situations than what they left. You need to be careful.....people are not always what they seem to be and you could put yourself in danger without even realizing it.
Ok running away is like...not gonna solve anytihng. its jut gonna bring you more problems.
run away is good..
no one cares?
well, you will need money.. much, much money!
before running away, you'll have to save money..
you'll need a job too.. you know, for your daily expenses..
and then an apartment or something to leave in..
that's all, but my advice is.. you should really think wisely.. you know, before running away..
coz, maybe, you don't know, your mother, brother, friends has their own reasons why they don't care..
maybe they have problems too..
just take care..
Well you dont say how old you are but anywayz! When I was 16 I ranaway servral times but the last time I ran away I got rape by 5 guys !! I would think really hard b4 running away!! Also maybe see if you can stay with a family memeber ! If not there are independant living programs out there that can help you as well if you are between 15 and 22 !! Also one more option for you could be job corps if you are 16 its like a tech school that trains you and feeds you and gives a roof over your head ! Good luck and God Bless You
Running away does no solve anyhting, I am sorry you are going through the problems you are. I will keep you in my prayers. Turn to God and he will give you the strength you need to make it through. It will get better.
If you find that you still need to run away. You need a support system maybe a friend. Lots of money and an action plan. Figure out where you will go, live and feed yourself. Keep in touch with someone who can let you family know you are safe and well.
i hear ya, dont hitch hike!! dont be seen at night. if ya need some friends head this was and i could hook ya up with a few friends. we take care of our friends here, they are family. soup kitchens will feed you find out when they serve. they give you clothes and cash vouchers too, just ask. since its cold here it might be cold there and dont sleep directly on the ground elevat yourself with newspaper, and stuff your clothes with it too all crumpled up and itll help keep ya warm. around rail road tracks if you hold up a bottle of water sometimes trains will toss out food water and road flares for ya. learn the train lines and you have trasportation. if you happen to jump a union pacific train headed for omaha ne you'll hve a few friends waitng for ya. just let us know when. and we'll show ya how to live on the streets round here.
I'm not sure what the real reasons as to why you want to leave and I'm sure your family do care more then you think..just remember if you leave you dont know whats ahead of you it could very well be worse then what you have now, no where to call home, whats your plan to live on the streets? have a long hard think b4 you decide to leave...how old are you by the way?
You need a support system. Money, a place to live.
Anyone who is a "good" person would turn around and give you to the police to take you home, or to child protective services for safekeeping.
Anyone who is willing to shelter a child, and not turn them in is most likely going to use them for their own ends.
That is why a lot of underage runaways - males and females end up with a pimp and servicing 20 pediphiles a night.
I have a sister who ran away at 14. It only took 15 minutes for a pimp to pick her up. when he told her she was going to have to earn her keep, she had to sneak out in the middle of the night and went right home.
My OTHER sister was traveling alone, waiting for our father to pick her up. She said a man came up to her and asked if she was running away from home, and offered to take her to his house and take care of her.
When she said "No", I am waiting for my Dad, and there he is," She said the man about wet himself and took off running- Jogged away at a hurried pace, out of the bus station.
They are waiting for you. They will use you.
I am not going to tell you what to do. My cousin ran away a few months ago she is 16. When she was found she was placed in juvinile they thought since she ran away she was a troubled teen. The best thing to do is tell your mom that you are really unhappy and need a change of enviroment although if your dad has passed im sure she really needs you. Maybe you could suggest staying with an aunt or a grandma for a few months? The mature thing to do would be try to bring your family back together for every ones happiness. In the end however it is always your choice no matter what I say. I just wanted to give you some insight. Good luck!
No matter how bad you think it is at home, it will be worse if you run away.
Unless you are wealthy and can afford to take care of yourself you are letting yourself in for a miserable, possibly life threatening experience. There are a great number of evil people who prey on runaways. You are making yourself a victim to more ugliness than you have the ability to comprehend.
No matter how bad it is at home you are not prepared to run away.
Find a place to stay first. Find someone to stay with, first! Stay at home just long enough to find somewhere to go. That is just being smart. I am not telling you to stay home indefinitely, just until you have somewhere else to go. To run off with no idea of where you will stay is just plain stupid. It is asking for trouble. You don't say how old you are but in some cases you can be arrested just for running away. Would that really be preferable to what you are going thru now? I don't think that a juvenile detention facility is what you have in mind, is it? Be smart. Think.
As the other person said, the most important thing you will need is money and alot of it. Do you have any idea how much it costs just to eat? Even at McDonalds? You are not thinking clearly. Make plans...then act. Ask yourself, if you run away, where will you be sleeping tomorrow night? How will you pay for food? How will you stay clean? What will you do for clothes? Can you take enough with you? Do you have a car? Are you going to sleep in it? Do you mind if you get raped?
Stop and think before you act, that is all I am saying.
If you are being abused, then you should call child protective services.It is very hard on the streets to get a roof over your head without a job...heck even WITH a job...to get an apartment you need first and last months rent...homeless shelters only let people in to sleep at night, not during the day...and it gets pretty cold out there.without a place to stay, you would have nowhere to keep your belongings, so you need to carry them in a wagon or shopping cart. , runaways or homeless people are vulnerable to people assaulting or killing them, they have nowhere to bathe, pediaphiles (sex perverts) look for runaways to befriend so that they can molest them, pimps look for runaways to befriend them at first so that they can get them hooked on drugs and turn them into prostitutes... when i was a kid, i once ran away to the garage, but that was as far as i went...it was cold in winter...
Is there another family relative that you could go and stay with? Is there someone that you trust that you could talk to? It sounds like you have a lot on your plate, but running away will not solve anything for you. It might make things worse for you. Where are you going to go?? Where are you going to sleep at night?? How are you going to eat? You might think that running away is the best thing for now, but have you ever heard the saying, "The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence?" The world is a big place and it is scary out there. If you do not have "Street Smarts" you could get in a lot of trouble. You could get involved with people that will hurt you and not care about you in the least. Can I make a suggestion to you? Ask God to help you. Talk to him just like you would your best friend. Believe in what you say to him, that you will receive an answer. Ask and ye shall receive. He sees you and he sees your pain. I hope this helps you. Good luck!
all u need to know is you'll get caught
do you have a grandma or an aunt (or any other female relative) ?? I know that you don't want to live where you are, but running away just makes things worse. Imagine, you would have no place to go! I am not saying that running away is "bad" or anything, im just saying dont let other people do things to you to make YOU end up having a hard-bad life. I would personally try to stick it out, because you might just need them until you can get an apartment a boyfriend, or a job. If you think that you cannot make it, dont hit the streets, about 50% (or more) of the prostatutes were runaways, you wouldnt want that to happen, and know that they can't make it, but anyways, see if theyre is a local teen help center, they will be able to help you, just google your sity for examplest teens that run away HAVE to go back home because they realize - Covina (my city) teen help centers
and see what they have for your city. =D good luck
