Anyone here ever run away?

yes, ran away 3 times as a teenager. Why are you iquiring about that??? lol

I've been on my own since the age of 15...so yes, numerous times.

Curiosity! What about the other questions:

How?
Where did you go?
Why?
Were you found, or did you just go back? xx

Can you answer the other questions too? xx

Obscurity can be a fire of ambition in those who have stalwart souls.

hope you find your self

once a year

Yes, my mother told me she was going to kill me. She was choking me and I was about to black out when someone woke up and came into the rooom and pulled her off me and started beating the crap out of her. I ran from yard to yard staying behind trees or cars when I saw headlights (she came after me).

I went to a friend's house. Never went back home...

Yes I just returned from one such trip.

If so how did you do it?

I got in the car and drove.

where did you go?

Deep in the woods with a lot of friends I'd never met.

why?

It feels good.

were you ever found?

It helped me to find myself.

I once took out my worn map of the USA, closed my eyes, circled around on the map and put my finger on a spot. I ended up going to St. George, Utah.
It changed my life forever.

ran away when i was 12, me and a friend from middle school decided to take off because our parents threatened to beat our asses when we get home from staying at the library too late. we always get our asses beat so it wasnt anything new, its how we get disciplined, and it worked until we've had enough of it. we were good kids, got good grades and such but we were also looking for adventure.

anyways we ran and lived in the large drainage pipe of a pond next to a high school. we took a piece of plywood from the nearby construction site and placed it at the bottom of the tube pipe to make flat ground to sleep on. we chose this pipe because if we slept anywhere else, we'd be seen by the cops. we went to k-mart to steal beef jerky and candles. bought orange juice and water from the games we sold to a used game vendor at the flea market. we had like 50 bucks. that was when we started smoking.

there was a creek nearby filled with hairy fresh water crabs, crawlfish and trouts. we stole small packages of chicken legs, made a fire down the creek, cooked the chicken and use some of it to fish for buckets full of crawlfish to eat. the crabs we can yank them out of the water with our bare hands. had no way of catching the trouts. we can hear a boar in the area on some nights, being young we thought it was cool if we could catch the boar and eat it, so we dug a big hole and placed cardboard on top of it, hoping the boar would fall in. it never did. we picked fruit from peoples front and backyard. stole vegetables from the community farm such as tomatoes and cucumbers and those tomotias or however you spelled them. there was corn too but we didnt like corn. sugarcane was our favorite commodity.

we stole a lot of things including toothbrush and toothpaste. use the gas station bathroom to brush up and stuff. occasionally we stole cloth people hung out to dry, this was in the late 90's and yes people still sun dry clothes. we would still wear the same set of clothes for weeks at a time. we washed them when the school sprinkler system went on. didnt bath much cause it gets cold.

at 12 years old, we managed to stay hidden for about a month and a half before finally getting caught by his brother chasing us down at the park.

Thank you for sharing your stories! The more detail the better xx

Hell no, by the time I wanted to do anything against the rules, my parents started having more kids that gave me the freedom to do whatever the fuck I wanted...it was perfect!

Yes, I just packed up whatever little things I had into my backpack and went into the woods, and yeah I was found that same night. I had nowhere to go, guess that alone blew my cover lol.
