What are some tips for running away from home?

well my girlfriend is going to run away, and im not going to just let her go alone but she wants to take her sister who is 2 years yunger than us and her sister wants to take her boy friend, and we were thinking of going to canada. does anyone have any better sudjestions, and I dont want to here anything but sudjestions on running away not how we shouldnt do it or stuff like that

I am telling you right now that this is all a dream. I have ran away 5 times. I live in Canada and good luck getting over the boarder, you have NO IDEA how hard it is these days. You will all need passports and they will question why 4 youngsters are crossing. Secondly it is a lot more expensive then you think. The last time I ran away it lasted for 8 months and I was homeless for most of them. You need a rediculas amount of money and you will not be able to shower and have no where to sleep but outside. . . depending on where you live it may get very cold at night. Your parents will all file missing persons reports so you will have the police looking for you withtin 28 hours if your under the ages of 16 and 48 hour if your older. Eventually you will miss them after you realize how much harder life is with out them . . . I am sorry but all I can say is please please from someone who has ran away and who knows people who have ran away for extended periods of time please do not do this. . . when they find you they wont trust you, you will be forbidden to associate with each other and everyone will be dissapointed in you. You will have been missing school and possibly work if you have jobs ... dont.

Running away is NOT the answer. And your girlfriends sister is only 12 or 13 right? Well, then why drag her into your girlfriends problem? Your girlfriend should tell her parents what's wrong. And how about you tell us WHY your girlfriend wants to run away. If it's just because her parents get on her nerves or whatever, that's just what parents do. My mom annoys me a lot, but you don't see me running away. You should try to help your girlfriend cope with her problem. NOT tell her how to run away.
Tell me something. Are you going to run away every time life gets a little hard? Life is hard. You just have to learn how to deal with it.

If your girlfriends parents are doing anything like physically hurting her, then tell the cops. But don't run away or let your girlfriend run away. It's not the answer at all. There are a lot of other ways she can solve her problem.

1. Tell her parents.
2. Tell the police
3. See a therapist

If she honestly feels that she needs to run away to get away from her problem, then she should definitley see a therapist.

omg do you even listen to me I said dont tell me not to do it morons I said give me better ways to do it

wow rando what makes you think were running away from a problem, were running to a better place kinda like what mexicans do. no duh life is hard weve both had our share of hardships, and hell no she doesnt need to see a therapist. and by the way why do you say im dragging her sister into it her sister already want to run away and my girlfriend said she could come. so look at what you type, like this' 1. Tell her parents.' why the hell would I tell her parents that they're abusing their daughter they know that if their doing it (they're not) so please listen to me now and tell me better places to go or helpfull hints on running away. thankyou

If you are set on running away you could go to one of those safe haven houses that help teenage runaways, homeless, and those who are abused with no where to go.. There is one locally by me called Ocean's Harbor House. If you are really going to run away you should go to a place like this where you will be safe

no I dont want to be in a safe house thing cause they can find you there, I was thingking canada cause you can live by yourself in certain places at the age of 16

I guess you can but I dont see why you would.. the police will find you and you could get in trouble but if thats what you want then go ahead

its impossible...send me an fun mail with all details and reasons then I can help u...

Well, a couple of statements ago, you called us morons, do you really think we're going to give you advice on HOW to run away if you say that? I think anyone who WOULD give you advice on HOW to runaway is the moron.

no I disagree cause im calling the previous people who answered before that statement morons not the people after it

Your not going to marry this girl. Stay out of her problems. Your what? 15 16?
let her be all alone. and probably do things she never thought she would for money.
its hard. and if you do go to Canada.
where are you going to stay the first few nights?
what job are you going to get to support you and your girlfriend and her little sister and her boyfriend?
Money, food, clothing, roof over your head, and when your bored what are you going to do.
sit there?
no t.v, no games.
you sound intelligent.
I think you should dump her and let her solve her won problems, because obviously she's screwing you up as well.
Or go to the police and file a REPORT that shes being abused.
Then she can go live with other people.
Ever thought about getting her emancipated?
Probably not, because you know NOTHING about being an adult.
Good luck.
get over yourself.
Move on.

yeah seriously I got on probation for runnning away all she is going to do is worry her parents and get into trouble with the law tell her parents if your that worried about it!

I am having a missed up life as well so I say go for it I am

hi

Dont do it. in x number of years/months when your girlfriend decides she wants to experience being single or whatever where will you be then? 1000s of miles from home in a another country. you probly need passports/work permit to get a job in Canada as you are a foreign national. Im nt totaly sure of that as im frm the EU but we do need that here even if its just in a diffrent member state so im fairly sure you will in canada. Ultimately there are better options open to you which perhaps you should look into. However should you decide to go ahead with this then you shud consider the following.
1))Money...lots of it. make a budget then treble it
2) Passports,ID cards,Work permits etc nt sure what you call them over there
3)Place to stay on arrival renting a property takes a while to come through also at the age of 16 you are probly ineligible to rent and hotels etc will eat into your budget trebled or nt
4) Transport clearly you cant drive and I hear american trains arnt that great!
5) Legal problems: you could be in big trouble for takeing these very young kids with u (your girlfriend sister and her boyfriend) Also once a missing person report is out you will have trouble at the boarder as your passport will be red flagged.

Its very easy to think you have this planned in your bedroom but when people emigrate to another nation it takes months/years of planning and they have a lot more cash!

Whatever happens good luck with your life.

mk si I know this sounds weird but when I was 16 I was beind abused by my mother like really bad abuse so I had my boyfriend get me pregnant so that I could get away because I knew they would kick me out it was the best thing I ever did I have a beautiful baby girl and am very happy in my life right now and me and my boyfriend were you and your girlfriend's ages at the time and takeing care of a baby isnt as hard as people make it out to be...
im not saying do it,its just an idea ok

go rt

first off- save as much money as possible. you would be surprised how much cash you burn on the run.
-think seriously about taking your girlfriend's sister and her boyfriend with you because you will be responsible for them
-learn how to shoplift-- it's a great way to save money and get's your blood pumping. just don't get caught it will foil your entire plan. maybe even pickpocketing.. it sounds immoral but you have to do what you have to do
-only pack the things you really, desperatly need. traveling light will make all the difference
-make up a cover story for every scenario before you go anywhere.. make it believable and make sure everyone in your group has it straight

that's all I can think of for now but good luck I hope everything turns out okay

I SAY LIKE THIS, IF YOU NEED ADVICE ON HOW TO RUN AWAY, THEN YOU REALLY DONT NEED TO BECAUSE YOUR NOT GOING TO KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU GET THERE. DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE TO RUN AWAY IN THE FIRST PLACE?
