Unless you have someplace safe to run too, it's not a good idea. Please rethink this if you can. Talk to some of the people here who have run away at your age and some of the things that happened to them. There must be a better answer

i have to tell you not to go. If you do go try to find a shelter. I feel icky thinking about you all alone out there hun. Michele.

sweetie, i know you think this is the best solution but its not, i would suggest you go to a library, again, not a good thing to run away

yea its not a safe world, to be all alone. please rethink and talk to us hun

Michele is right, but "icky" is a mild word for what could happen to you. Please reconsider. If it's something happening at home, there are other options than just running blind without knowing where or how to.

At the age of 16, where will you go? Maybe you can just hang out in your room for a while and cool down. I hope you're ok!

i didn't want to scare her. I just don't think she should do anything util at least tomorrow in the light of day. Michele.

not helping people >.<
without the suggestions being "dont go"
thats not what im looking for =/

i have friends around..its just...a few..miles too far

Sweetheart then my advice is to wait until morning and go to your friends or call them to come and get you tomorrow or if possible tonight, Do not go running around in the dark sugar. Please Michele.

Hey Punkee,
maybe you should sit down and make a couple of lists.
one list would be all the things you can think of that would be fun and good about running away and the other would be a list of all the bad things about running away.

For instance
Here's some ideas for the 'Good' list...

Freedom
Head clearance time
adventure
excitement

And here's some for the 'Bad' list

High chance of getting raped
Petty high chance of being murdered
Could be kidnapped and sold to sex trade
No money for food except for first day or two
Nowhere to sleep that is warm and dry
Lonely
Scared
No one gives a crap out in the big world

Not looking so exciting now is it....

look. i stand by my post. no ones changing my mind. im leaving no matter what. im looking for advice as to what i can do to stay as safe as possible. telling me not to go isnt gonna change my mind.

snork. your bad list..
is looking better than staying here.
no ones getting my point here. I AM LEAVING.
i want advice as to what to take in my defense.

You mentioned friends -- if you insist on going, can you get to them so you'll be safe?

i can get TO them..yes..it might take a few hours though..thats my point.
