Nervousness

So I did it. I left home. I'm with one of my friends. Nobody is home at my house yet. They don't even know that I'm gone yet. I still have time to change my mind. Yet I know I won't. But I'm scared. I have this knot in my stumach just like the time when I was in 7th grade and CPS took me to foster care. I'm almost excited, but too scared to be excited. I'll ya'll updated.

Yikes...

Just looked through your most-recent posts, to make sure I hadn't missed the build-up to this (I hadn't).

Is this a long-term solution (the ability to stay with your friend)? Did something specific happen to make you leave?

What's the plan here?

And, just so you know, you have us here to support you through all of this.

Be careful with that kind of

Be careful with that kind of thing, sweetheart, you're in the states and since you're not 18 yet it's considered running away. You can tell them where you are and as long as you do not seem to be a threat to yourself or others, it is not considered running away and I don't think they can technically have the police force you from the home(especially if you have a good reason). At least that's how it is in PA. Just be careful b/c I know people who've ended up in mental institutions/other facilities from running away.
I don't mean to scare you into going back, I just was hoping this could help you be aware of the possibilities. Just be careful and watch your back with that legal shit, ya know? But I'm sure you'll be fine.

and same questions as Jeff... why?

I know there's "black sheep," but what about rainbow ones?

I'm curious, but happy for

I'm curious, but happy for you if you're happy about it. I'm not sure how it is in the States, but in Canada, once you're sixteen, your parents can no longer keep you at home. You can become emancipated. I know because my friend's moving in and she's 16.

Used to be it was a man's world and a woman's place was in the home...
they can kiss that shit goodbye.

Um, good luck

Um, good luck I think. I don't know why so I'm not going to say if you should be doing this or not, but do be sure. It is a pretty big decision
Whatever the outcome, good luck babe

I don't know the reasoning

I don't know the reasoning behind this or any of that. But good luck to you.
