Question

I'm 15 and I want to run away with my boyfriend who is 16. I don't know if he agrees with me. If he does, how can I prepare myself?

Community Answer

If you are serious about running away, you need to have a safe place to live, food to eat, and a way to make money. This is not a decision to be taken lightly, and it is very important that you understand all of the new responsibilities you will have once you live on your own. It sounds like your boyfriend may be unsure, and you should not pressure him to leave the safety of his home.

Question

What if you see someone you know?

Community Answer

Depending on where you go, this might be inevitable. Unless you are very, very skilled at hiding, you will most likely be found eventually. However if you are trying to hide and you see someone you know, you can ask them to keep your location to themselves.

Question

What will happen to my parents after I run away?

Community Answer

All parents react differently, but the majority will be upset and scared. Running away is a decision that will affect your entire family, and that is why it is so important to think of alternatives and to try to talk openly with your parents before you decide to run away.

Question

I'm 14 and my boyfriend is 18. He has the money to look after me, but I feel bad. I want to get a job so I can pay for myself but can the police track that and find out information?

Community Answer

If you are underage and leave home against your parents wishes, the police will certainly be able to locate you. Aside from giving your personal information to employers, police will also be able to use cell phone records and credit/debit card usage to find you. Police will not be searching for you to scare you, but to ensure your safety. 14 is extremely young, and you need to make sure this is the right decision for you. Your boyfriend may be old enough to live on his own, but you may not be.
