I've been thinking about running away for a while now, probably since the beginning of this year, and have been planning it out in my head. Probably not forever, just long enough for a break. I know you guys say here that I should try to get my parents to agree and let me go, but I think I'd be uncomfortable at somebody else's house under those conditions, and so I was thinking, I'll stay in a hotel, if I can, or if I can't a shelter.
1: Can I (at 15) rent a hotel room legally? With cash?
2: When shelters say they will let you stay up to 72 hours without your parents knowledge, do they have to have evidence that you're being abused/neglected(which I am not) to let you stay without parental knowledge, or do they grant that to anyone who walks in the door?
3: Could you help me find some shelters in Ramsey County, MN, that allow me to stay for a period of time, without my parents knowledge, 'no questions asked'?
4: I'm planning on getting a city bus card, so that I can still go to school. Will anyone be told there that I'm a runaway, and can they contact my parents during the day, while I'm at school to tell them where I am?
5: What stuff should I pack? Any advice?
(sorry for so many ?s...)
