Need some info about "running away"

no problem I will definitely be thinking about ya, And I wouldnt dare slap ya I'd hug ya and tell you encouraging things

 

I have not the capacity to understand internal medicine, but I do my part by teaching guitar to less fortunate children, pro-bono. You didn't have to say you're oppressed, it's obvious that if you're running away you feel that you're being oppressed some way or another. If you want to run away apparently you believe you're oppressed in some way or another. You need to wait 2 years and see how things work out. I left home when I was 15 (like most of us do), but I wasn't really commited. I was gone for 3 weeks and realized just how stupid it was to leave home without any experience. That's when the world truely becomes difficult.

Maybe my post wasn't very nice, or constructive, but I find it equally as irresponsible for "adults" to be telling a teenager to "go for it" basically. If you want to run away, run away, but there's certainly no advice to be given to make things "easier" because running away and being on your own with no experience in any field isn't easy. I can't say I'll be unhappy when you come back to us, head hanging low, finding that life as a young kid with no real experience isn't easy. Atleast take a year to learn a trade. It may actually be good for you to get out on your own, though..it will humble you, open your eyes to the wicked ways of the world. By the way, why are you still here? I mean, honestly, not to be mean, but this is like someone who asks for advice about commiting suicide still hanging around waiting for "better" replies. If you want to be out, go and get out.

 

that was a cool response Music man.

 

Thanks? lol

 

I don't suppose you read all of my post. I told my parents everything, and my boyfriend and I are leaving after Christmas with their permission. Hence, why I'm still here. I have two jobs right now (as does my boyfriend) and we're saving enough money to rent an apartment for a few months until we can find jobs. Right now I'm trying to get permission from my school to start college early. I'm going to be an RN, so maybe I'll go to Serbia...

 

not to be negative vannillia.. but if you have two jobs and want to become an RN which takes four years and eminse study time.. where will you find time..who's gonna pay for your schooling 10,000. or more..when will you have time to be with your boy friend.. or have time to have any fun..GSL are hard to pay back and they hound you for life and ruin your credit.. I've stoped trying to persuade you not to go.. just asking if you have thought out all the angles.. just bringing some issues that you'll be facing..

 

Grr, I still don't think you understand. My boyfriend and I are working two jobs now to say up money. After Christmas we're going to go rent an apartment and then both get part-time jobs while we go to college (he's almost finished). I'm getting the money from financial aid and my family's income is low enough for me to get pretty much all of it paid for. If not, I'm taking advantage of the tons of scholarships that the nursing school I'm looking at offers. I won't have to worry about spending time with my boyfriend like you say, because, um, we'll be living together. As for having fun, learning happens to be fun and getting an education is very important to me. And, actually, it's six years. After becoming an RN I'm going to become a nurse anethesist. Why are you bringing up issues I will be facing with going to college? It's not like it's going to make my life any worse! Are you suggesting that I DON't go to college? I don't think you can be happy. I say I have my parents permission and I'm going to college early. What more do you want? How can this create a problem, are you trying to say that I can't handle it now but I can in under two years when I'm 18? I hope you don't think that. You say you've stopped trying to talk me out of it... but why would you want to talk me out of going to college? I may be misunderstanding what you're saying... but it sounds odd to me.

 

I'm not trying to talk you out of school.. I see young people all the time trying to do what you are planing it's extreamly difficult to handle everything at once.. just because you live with someone doesn't mean you'll have a lot of time together..some make it some don't.. I wasn't flaming you.. I was just throwing some questions to ask your self.. to make you think about things that could come up.. to help you cover all the bases and to see the big picture..you dont have to yell at me.. if your that defensive about it you shouldn't have posted it.. I mean you no harm..

 

I'm sorry if you thought I was yelling at you. I just didn't quite get what you were telling me. I know what you're saying about how difficult it is, but I am determined to go to college and it'd be the same now as it would in two more years. My parents can't help me pay for college so that isn't an issue. I have to move out to go to college anyway, because there aren't any colleges around here (very small town). Get out of here and get an education at the same time... sounds good to me -- hard or not. Sorry for being defensive, but I've got a lot of rude comments on this thread.

 

I think that's mainly because you initially said you didn't want your parents to find you... but since you've sorted all that out, good luck on your upcoming journey.

 

If you were going, you would've gone by now.

 

Obviously, you didn't read the rest of my post. I am leaving after Christmas WITH my parents permission.

 

No, I didn't read it. Like I said, if you were going, you would've gone by now.

 

Yea, if I WERE running away, I would have left by now. Okay. I don't see your point here. :$

 

Good Luck.

And don't worry too much about life...there are single moms out there with jobs and full time college schedules (I happen to be one of them, lol)..
so if we can get through without losing it
....then as long as you don't get too horribly sidetracked I'm sure you will too.
At least you get to watch something besides blues clues on tv.



As a mother I must request that you go kick your boyfriends ass though ;-)
