i want to run away

to san fransisco. my parents are assholes to me. they dont accept me for who i am, they hate everything i stand for, and when im trying my hardest at all times its not worth shit to them. i got yelled at in front of my sister and her friends last night for my older sisters doing of not reporting the dog missbehaving(and the convo ended up them yelling me because i have no goals in life(wtf?)). my mom just called me about 30 seconds ago and told me to wear shorts to this walk thing(local highschool girl=really sick, people are walking for her) and i said i wanted to wear pants. she bitched at me and told me im bizarre and i need to dress more normal and do everything that every other normal human being does. i'm actually crying right now with how rediculous my family is.

im going to take out my stocks(hopefully my parents don't open it and put it back in), about 1,800 dollars and im going to get a checking account. buy a digital camera for pictures along the way, and use the rest to get to san fransisco. i was thinking of taking the plane since i have a bit of money, but dont u need like a parent to pick u up or something if your underage? so bus would be the next best thing or what(dont say hitchhike, too many rapists n what not now a days)

so does anybody live there and could help me find a job, tell me a good park to sleep in. any kind of help? even telling me to bring would help(preferably if you have run away before).

peace and love. thanks for the help

 

I say your 14 dont try to run away, tough it out and let your money grow get a job when you can then when you the legal age leave with the money you made to help you get where you want to go.
Just losing your parents 100% at your age would be a very hard thing to live with.

 

the way they have been treating me lately i wouldnt mind leaving them and to fight in the war.
they are always saying this double standard shit with me, and when it comes down to it, i do WAY more than my sisters, and im still called a lazy asshole. i dont want to live with them. and i dont want to be near them.
should i settel for austin or something closer instead, so i have more money?

 

Running away at 14 is quite possibly the worst idea you can think about. You only have to put up with their shit for a few more years, so just stick it out. Being a teenage runaway would completely change your life forever.

 

You are not the only kid in this world that feels that way about its parents. You dont like them,maybe you even hate them right now.But remember that they are just trying to do the best for you,even if they dont realize that it is not the best.
You are just waay 2 little to run away from home.The world today is not the way it was before.You are going to regret if you run now.Just wait a couple more years,when you can live on your own and then you can do whatever you want.

 

nah, it's pretty much the same.

 

you're 14 running away because of your belifs now is stupid. You have no idea how much of you will change in the next few years. and what do you think you're gonna find in SF? It's not 1967. There's no longer people living in the streets helping eachother with the diggers. Yuo'll just be homless getting raped by some homeless guy.

 

i can't take 4 more years of there shit. ever since i was ten i became like the problem of the family. i dont know what the hell i do but it ends up as me getting in trouble. i dont think age is a factor for this, or at least for me.

 

you still have a lot of mental devloping to. My advice is to join a band.

 

no one likes my music here... its texas.

 

Not that I'm the expert or anything but like Joe Kyle said, I doubt San Fran is the place to go. Hell, Berkley would by far be a better choice but I wouldn't run away in either case. That's just trying to put the problem behind you and it's not worth caus you'd be in for a lot crazier shit.
Just because you stay at home doesn't mean you have to put up with them. Just get good grades, be nice and don't do drugs. If they still complain then fuck them, just be yourself and if they don't like it then that's their problem.

Or, you could do like a friend of mine did once, he had problems at home so he ran away, crossed the border into another country (in your case it would be state) and called his parents and told them that unless they changed he would keep going.

But whatever, the best advice is to just be yourself and don't do anything stupid

 

trust me. I know how that is. but you can't run away. You're to young. and you will think diffrently in a few years. and plus...san fransico? San Fransico is more rich people then anthing now. please, I'd love to get awawy from here, I hate it. But running away os just gonna end up with me dead.

 

You know what? Don't run away. Go to your parents and say, "I am living my life my way, dressing in the way I want to, atcheiving the goals I set myself. If you don't like my life choices, tougth shit! I'm happy as a hippie!"

 

well, yes it is. legally.

if you look 14 and you're on the streets, you'll be picked right up and shipped back to the rents.

 

i couldn't say it better.


Maybe you just need a break, do you think there is an uncle or aunt, friend of the familly or one of your friends who would accept to take you at their place for a couple of days. You obviously need some time to think alone about all the stuff that is going on in your life.

Anyways , good luck and don't run away..

 

another thing, don't runaway from your problems. It's like these "anarchists" that "drop out" of the system. If you leave...what's going to change?

 

all i can say is the only way youll survive as a runaway at 14 in a city is to be underground,wich meens yer either a theif,a prostitute,or some sick old folks dirty secret..

trust me..

 

um.. i used to live in the bay area. and i hope you realize the money you said you have would pay for like.. one months rent, without utilities. or food...

 

Sorry to hear about your problems... it sucks. Parents can act totally irrationally with teenagers.

You really need some ways to get out from under your parents' feet, without running away. (As has been said already, San Francisco isn't the place it was back in 1967, and running away is not safe for a 14 year old anyway.) Sleeping over at your grandparents' or something occasionally on the weekends? Things like that.

When you're old enough consider getting a job after school or on weekends, where you will earn your own money and get a sense of independence and responsibility, and it will keep you out of the house.

Just do your chores and your homework when you're at home and be a good kid, like you are already.

 

Picture your self walking alone along a city sidewalk alone at night and its very cold out and you have nowhere to sleep.

Swish that around in your moth for a while, sound good? No.

I wanted to run away last year but becuase of differnt reasons. I didn't because I rather have a warm bed to sleep in then be free of this place. That and my energy last year just wasen't there.
