Just some curiosities in trying to get the full picture of your situation...

• Are you still in high school?
• Do you have a job?
  • If not, can you get one?
• Have you considered the idea of looking for a roommate?

Some other side thoughts if you do end up having to leave. Winter is starting, make sure you have warm clothes. If you're really going to be hoofing it, make sure you're packed light enough that you can carry everything, without exhausting yourself, and preferably with your hands free. Make sure you've mapped or scouted the places you plan on going. Also, either leave a note or send a letter, or something, so that your parents don't file a missing persons report with the police.

Hi from Glasgow Scotland.

Your basic needs are paramount here hen, your first fleeting thought should be were your going to stay.

for your own saftey please just bite your tongue and stay at one of the religious institutions. they will provide the basic needs you need to go forward, withhout these you will find life mauch harder.

Your young, dont speak out, millions are rightly scared of coming out and stay silent, so be go all proud on me now. Now give us a smile and remember to be strong in your own mind.

when your president , please remember me


take care lassie

George

Do you really have to leave home? What is your 6 month outlook? What is your goal? I would be bothered greatly if you were homeless still a year down the road. Is there a serious concern for your safety? Is there a past history of violence?

This puppy worries.

i am worried as well. if you have to bite your tounge till you can get yourself more set up then do so. get a bood job, car and some savings. start buying stuff for an apartment with a room mate (if you must), so you can be set when you finally move out. dont rush it if you can help it. *hugs*

As I've said like a bajillion times before, I will not run except as a very last resort. I'm making good progress on getting out the regular way - I've got my own computer, I'm learning to drive, and I'm planning to get a job next summer. ONLY IF my mother kicks me out or becomes violent with me will I resort to measures this drastic.

And yes, there is a past history of violence. My mother's response to "mouthy" adult children is to slap them repeatedly.

Kthxbai.
