I dropped out of junior high when I was 14 (in 8th grade). I just turned 17 last month. My life isn't going anywhere and I need to get out of here. I've been on and off depression episodes since I was 10. And have finally decided to do something for myself to change that; for better of for worst. I don't have a dad, he left when I was 7. My mom is a good person but a sh-tty mother. All she cares about is her cats and her business. Kids come last. When she pulled me out of school she said she would get me a tutor and home school me. But she has made no effort to start homeschooling me, or put me back in school. I don't think she cares at all. She is very evasive on the subject. If I confront her, we end up fighting and she repeats the same story over and over; how I never help her clean the house, and how her business if failing and her employees steal from her. etc etc. You guys have no idea how difficult she is to deal with. I'm starting to think she actually doesn't want be me move out. Maybe its because she's not married and is scared to be left alone because I'm the only one she has. I love her, but I'm not going to let her ruin my life.
My older sister fell behind in school too. But she did graduate a couple of years late. She struggled with depression too. Attempted suicide once. And ran away from home when she was 16 to go live with her boyfriend at his parent's house who lived 4 hours away in another city. Which was the best thing she had ever did because she is still with him and his parents are paying for her to go to college right now.
But I don't have anyone and probably wont go to college. I'll try to graduate high school, but, who knows. So here is my plan; bring backpack full of stuff. Steal some money from mom. Pocket knife just in case. Get my license. Buy a greyhound bus ticket. Try to get a bank account and save up as much extra money as I can to get my own place. Live on the streets, or with someone if I can for a year until I'm 18 and get my own place. Once I have my own place, try to get back in school. There are programs you can go to that will allow you to graduate school in 2 years instead of 4 years. Do that, graduate when I'm 20. And pray to fcking God I'll have a chance to get into college when I'm 21.
Money; my mom is an eye doctor who owns her own business. I already have a head start because I know how to make glasses. So I plan on working as a lab tech in an optometrist office. It pays about 12$ an hour. Which is not bad. But I acknowledge the fact I might have to become a prostitute, especially in the first few months.
I have some questions though. Can you guys help me out?
How do you get a drivers license? Can you go by yourself without a parent?
Where would be the best place/ city to run away to? (I live in texas, but it doesn't have to be in texas)
Do I bring my birth certificate with me? To get a job?
How old do you have to be to open up your own back account?
What is the legal age to run away? Since im 17, will the cops be able to drag me back?
Anything that I haven't thought of?
Yes, anil p, my mom has drivin me absolutely bat shxt fcking insane. To the edge, I cannot take this any more. She will not cooperate with me, refusing to help me at all. I'm desperate to get out of here.
My mom does not 'nag' me. She WONT ALLOW ME TO MOVE FORWARD IN LIFE!! dont you people read?
