I have previously considered running away, but then sought out legal emancipation. I was all ready to go, lawyer and all...and my mom packs up and moves me to a state where there is NO legal emancipation. I don't want to run away simply because I feel the need to graduate high school.
I am currently 16, a senior in highschool.
My parents are trying so hard to ship me off to schools I don't want to, and into professions I don't want. They are trying..I know they are but its not right for me. They are controlling and honestly, there is previous abuse (while its no longer that way) I can't get over it. I can't forgive my mother yet for past problems that seep into today. Its not a healthy environment for either of us, or her new husband.
After graduation I will be 17. (I turn 18 in October 09)
I am going to go move in with my best friends family, they have offered to let me move in before.
I will either be attending summer college, or working. maybe both.
But would that be considered running away? I mean I doubt they will say yes to just letting me go move out. I am then going to attend the local tech school there or get a job (depending on my fiances) I'm still going to college, I'm just not doing it there way.
My question is, if I leave home AFTER I graduate, a few months prior to my 18th birthday can it still be running away? and Could my friends family have to deal with harboring a runaway? I really don't want to put them in that place. I don't know how my family will react. which is frustrating.
