  1. Is there a kind relative like grandparents or an auntie you could go to for a few days or maybe longer?  Do not go to the streets or to strangers, there are too much risks, it's the best way to end up prematurely in a body bag.


  2. if nobodys hitting you and you're not in danger, theres no sense in leaving because lifes rougher out there. trust me.

  3. If you are truly going to leave home, do not turn to the streets nothing good comes from there. Try going to a friends for a while or staying in a cheap motel.

  4. 1st tip:

    It's REALLY stupid of you to run away from a problem like this. You're not being abused or anything.

    2nd tip:

    Don't run away or you'll have a bad reputation

    3rd tip:

    You're gonna feel like more of a failure when you run away.

  5. What does your dad cheating on your mom have anything to do with YOU?  Nothing whatsoever. How will running away from home help THEIR situation?  It won't. How do you KNOW that your dad is cheating on your mom?  If you don't have proof that would stick in court, you are just assuming he is.

    The best way to run away from home?  Ask your mom and dad for money and ask their opinion of where would they stay if they weren't at home. That should get their attention.

  6. When you get hungry. go into a supermarket and put things on a shelf nearest to the door leave then come back in with a Hoody and take it and leave. go into parking lots of buildings and look for the unlocked cars and take whatever you can. if you see a car check to see if it has an alarm if not smashy smashy and take what you can. always carry a weapon just in case. nothing to big. don't do any of this unless you are ready to face the consequences. do the right thing. ive been down that road. things can get better if you let it.    

  7. i know this isn't the advice you want but if you leave who will be there for your mom?  she needs you more than anything right now.  if anything happens to you she will blame herself.  i'm really sorry that you feel the need to run away but trust me, it's not worth it.  just hold your head up high and trust that things will get better

  8. so you want to cause your mother even more pain? gee that's sweet of you.. get some good running shoes and good luck being a hobo.

  9. Yay...way to go.  With thoughts like that it's no wonder you feel like a failure.

    You'll really be failing your mom if you run away.  I'm sure she would rather have 10 husbands cheat on her than to spend one night not knowing where her child is....not knowing if you're dead or alive or being tortured somewhere.

    And the only way that I can think of for you to stop feeling like a failure is to stop planning on being one.  Cause if you're planning to run away that's exactly what you're setting yourself up for...FAILURE.

    Pick something that you would like to do..even if you've never done it before and feel like you won't be any good at it and spend several hours a day learning how to become good at it.  Once you see that you can master a skill or an art you'll know that the only reason that you have to feel like a failure is because you want to...not because you have to.

  10. Before running away, make sure you have enough money to feed yourself and put a roof over your head.  Living on the streets is not easy and it's not the answer.

    If you really can't stand your home life call 800-999-9999.  This is the hotline for Covenant House where they help people in situations such as yours.  If you live in a town where they have a shelter, you can go there.  If not, they can steer you in the right direction.

    The fact that your Dad is cheating on your Mom does not make you a failure.  Don't take responsibility for someone else's actions.  Take care of yourself.

  11. Don't run away...Some homeless guy will get to you or someone will abuse you or make you sell drugs or make you take drugs......You will live in the streets and live in an alley...........You need to talk to your parents about how you feel.......They want to know your thoughts.......Please don't run away....I'm only a 14 year old girl, I'm not some parent telling you this........Please.....Don't ruin your life.....Why don't you try staying over at a friends house for a few weeks until things settle down back at your house....It won't do you any good to run away.......Where were you planning on going?........Someone if going to hurt you really badly or make you do things that you really don't want to do, so please don't do this.........Think about all that your parents have done for you to take care of you............Don't you think that they deserve a little more than this.......Think about your friends at school and with sports...........They will really miss you..........Don't run away......I've seen teens that have run away out in the streets with no where to go.....They look sick, like they have been on drugs, and they aren't happy............Don't throw your life away........Please.........Just don't hurt yourself..........A lot of people care about you.............They just might not show it...........Just please think about this.......Running away isn't your only option...........Just listen to me.........I want to help you.......As a friend...........Please............

    P.S.~ You will be in my prayers tonight Justin...

  12. its a bad world out there mate.

    Maybe stay at a friends place first. Then jump from friend to friend. When that's exhausted you will find your self sleeping on the streets, but it wont be for long. You will either die or go home within a month. if you survive you will wish you hadnt.

  13. Don't run away.

    But if you do, bring a can opener.  It will help you get all those cans open that you'll be eating out of.  I hope you like cat food.  At $.35, it'll probably be all you can afford living on the streets.

  14. It isnt right to run away if you run away you will so regret. its not good on the street.and if your running away from your parents your probably not that old to spend clothes and food for the rest of  your life.talk to your parents let them no that you know. or just talk to one either your mom or your dad tell him how you feel because anyone to run away from a nice cozy home is nuts!


  15. ok i say dont run away itll hurt your mom. worse than shes already feeling im prety sure. But if you still are go with a friend or someone trustworthy. you dont just wana go somewhere you dont know and risk for something to happen.

  16. honey the streets is not where u want to be. take it from some 1 who got picked up for 23 run away charges. the judge finaly had enough & gave me 2 years & 100 hr. of comunity service. but if u realy want to run New York is the place to go but u better say who ur close to or ur going to find yo brains splatered on the wall

  17. i think u should only take what very important: FOOD, WATER, CLOTHING, MONEY, SUITCASE, keep sakes (a picture of your mom, year book), if you can play an instrument bring that or have a good singing voice bring a hat for people to drop money into. u also should findout where your going to go so bring a map and a compas a cell if u have it, blakets medice somthing to protect yourself with like a knife (there are lots of creeps in the world)

    btw just cuz im telling u this doesnt mean i aprove of what your doin but i know that nothing i say is going to stop you and i want you to be okay

  18. get lots and lots of condoms, it will keep you from getting aids.  

    if you think you are going to be living a better life you had better guess again because you are going to be getting f**ked by every one you come into contact with.

    but, if you want to ruin your life to spite your divorcing parents, be my guest!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ENJOY YOUR NEW LIFE!!!

  19. How can your Father cheating on your Mum make YOU feel like a complete failure?  You are not responsible for other peoples behaviour.

    No one can stop you from running away, but decide if a warm bed, clean clothes and food is better than living on the street and possibly endangering your life?  If you make yourself homeless you have nowhere to go but down.  How are you going to educate yourself so you can get a decent job and live your life how you want to???
