Hi, I’m currently 16. But I’m planning on running away when I turn 18, I’m currently saving up money and working at my part time job. I turn 18 Feb 16 2025 and I plant on leaving right as I turn 18. Will I be able to apply to another highschool as an 18 year old by myself so I can at least finish highschool? Thank you.

Hi there,
We are really glad you reached out to NRS. This is a great question. No matter the situation, or where you are at, you have the right to go to school. Even more, since you would already be 18, you could transfer your school credits without needing parental or guardian consent anyway. If you are interested, you could also look into getting your GED credential which is a high school equivalency diploma.
It sounds like you are planning on waiting to run away; but, just know that you can always reach out to us via chat (on this website) or phone call (1-800-RUNAWAY (786-2929)) if you ever need support or resources. We wish you the absolute best of luck moving forward.
Stay safe,
NRS
