Can I get arrested for running away?

Can I get arrested for running away from home in maryland at age 16

Yes

why

Because you're still a legal minor.
If there are REAL issues at home such as neglect or physical abuse, then you go to social services.
But you will get arrested for runaway.
Trust me =/

I want 2 freakinnn runaway...but I think its dumb...should I sneak my boyfreind in my house because he got put out or just talk 2 mii mom about it...? lol...im so confussed I dont want 2 go 2 jailll

Just talk to your parents...they might not have the answer you're looking for, but in the long run it's what is right.

are you saying that you want to run away because your boyfriend got put out??? What is this world coming to... Have your boyfriend go and work things out with his parents. It seems like you have no problem with your parents if you're willing to talk to your mom about him staying with ya'll... my question is, why would you want to hurt your family, let alone yourself by running away. When you run away, where are you going to go?, how are you going to eat?, how are you going to wash your body and brush your teeth?, how are you going to get your womanly products to take care of yourself?... running away is a very bad ideal and yes you will get arrested and have a record, you might not get to see that boyfriend of yours for a while. By then he'll have another girlfriend. You might get put in a detention center for teens with behavioral problems, your parents might forbid you to see him again...so now ask yourself this question... Is It Worth Running Away??? most of the time we don't realize what we have and how good we have it until it's gone.

of course at least

uh yeh my advice is to stay, talk things out, and be cool bout things!!

yes you can get sent to military school like me best friend
