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.

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?
my mom has plenty of money. She wont notice if I steal 1,000 to get a head start. And she wouldnt call the cops or press charges either.
 
Ok so I'm not sure about the questions you asked but I do have an idea.
**god, I can already feel the thumbs down coming**
I know that this is a crappy option but ppl do wat they have 2 do 2 survive; plus it's just a thought
and if I were you I would only resort to this as a LAST OPTION
High class call girls make about $5000 per 'session' yeah, 5 grand or maybe it's per hour, I'm not sure. Do 20 and you'll have 100,000. On the plus side you'll b living a decent life, five grand is a ton more than a lot of ppl in the USA make and you'll b able to afford you're own place. Maybe a car if you take on extra? or save up
Its just a thought, like I said, only resort to it if it's your last option.
 
How do you get a drivers license? Can you go by yourself without a parent? You an go without a parent, some states require drivers education and driving classes unless you are 18 years old.

I wouldn't know this

Do I bring my birth certificate with me? To get a job? Yeah that'd be a good idea since you need 2 forms of ID to get a job IE: birth certificate, social secuity card, drivers license...

How old do you have to be to open up your own back account? 16 or 17 or so

What is the legal age to run away? Since im 17, will the cops be able to drag me back? You 17 so your legally responsible for yourself. The cops can drag you back and press charges if you steal money from your mother...then you'll end up in jail....not juvinile detention since your an adult..

Anything that I haven't thought of?
This doesn't sound like the safest plan...you run away and live on the streets you are much more vulnerable as a young 17 year old girl to get raped, murdered, assaulted, anything. The real world is tough, especially if you don't hve a plan. My best advice would be to stick it out until your 18, get your GED, get your drivers license, get a job and move out the right way. All this crap about living on the streets and stealing money from your mom is crazy, and it won't end well.
 
you have to be 18 to run away. you can go by yourseld, depending on where you live.
18 to open your own bankaccount with out someone else signing on, you should bring your birthcert.

by the way; if you run away; you WILL not get a job if you don't have a ged.
 
You're only 17. You can't make rush decisions like that. Since you are still a minor, you have no choice. You just have to wait until you become 18. And running away would only make matters worse. Don't even think about it. And please, respect God. If you're not a Christian, you didn't have to say what you said on the last line on the 3rd paragraph. Thank you.
