Hi how are you doing today guys

I never had the guts to run away when I was younger... i admire people's bravery for running away. 💀

RUNNING AWAY TIPS AS A SUCCESSFUL ESCAPEE OF AN ABUSIVE HOUSEHOLD:

-yes, change your clothing style
-get a wig if you can't afford to dye your hair
-shop at thrift shops to save money on clothing
-use a bag that's not suspicious
-get out of the country if possible (I was in new jersey so I went to Canada)
-dog walking is a good job, as it doesn't have a minimum age requirement and can pay well
-don't tell anyone where you're going unless its a person you know you can trust (I ran away to my aunt's house so I told her)
-change your name (this was easy for me since I wanted to change my name to a boy's name bc I'm trans)
-tell nobody where you're from
-get a fake phone if you need, always pretend to be calling somebody if you don't feel safe
-don't fake an accent, people will notice and remember you, you don't want that
-don't go when it's cold, coats are heavy and hypothermia can kill you
-bring a first aid kit
-bring a refillable water bottle
-shop at the dollar store when possible
-get food from gas stations as it's cheaper but good
-get out of the country if possible
-bring your passport
-wear shoes that are good for walking
-wear duller things so you blend in
That's what I have for y'all!
I left when I was 12, at 2:00 am out a window, I took a bus to New York,  (I didn't have the money for a bus so I sorta just grabbed onto the back and kept quiet) where I stayed for a week, then took a train to a place near Niagara falls, where I crossed the border with my aunt (I showed my passport dw)
I'm 17 now and I'm pretty sure my parents just kinda forgot about me bc they never even texted my aunt about me being gone. I'm happier with my aunt and once I'm 18, I'm probably reporting them but yeah

I feel sorry to anyone who has such bad living issues that they feel the need to run away

I find it kinda sad that there are so many kids who feel the need to run away… please stay safe y’all

If anyone’s listening to this comment, I hope you’re doing OK

Idk why these compilations kept popping up on my fyp, I guess it was a sign for me to start a channel about it. It’s honestly so sad to see how many young people actually have to/want to run away from home. Stay safe y’all

This gave me flashbacks when I was planning to go to my friend’s house and make her parents adopt me once I change my whole identity. (This sht popped out from my head when my mother snapped and tried to hit me) I ended up sneaking out to meet her with my cousin but realized that there’s not much time so me and my cousin just had a quick visit to a small 24 hour store before going back and getting chased by dogs (I fell when I was running away lmao)

Funny thing is that my neighbour asked my cousin if I was drunk cuz I have messy hair 😭😭

Y’all I have some tips!
-leave at night or on your way to school.
-basically leave a wild goose chase, like giving hints that go random places and not where you are to slow them down.
- if you’re sure your parents/guardians wouldn’t hurt you, try to build up a good record of sneaking out or running away for a day or two before you actually run away, that way the police will consider you low-risk and that will give you more time
-also if you don’t have much money, try to steadily take small amounts from your parents to build it up, not enough for them to notice though
-bring matches, a lighter, a pocket knife, pepper spray, scissors, or anything you can defend yourself with or that could be useful
-don’t leave during winter
-wear simple clothes and dye/cut your hair if you can.
-get non-prescription glasses ( a lot of places have cheap reading glasses that could maybe work)
- buy stuff at dollar tree, cvs, thrift stores, and five below, it’s really cheap stuff.
- try to eat as healthy as you can.
-if you have a device, try taking online classes, that way you can still get somewhat of an education for a good job.
- try to go to a friend/distant relatives house that you know won’t contact your parents/guardians.
That’s all I have. No I haven’t run away, I have a pretty nice family and my on,y reason to would be for my mental health, I hope these help though. Stay safe!

I swear people with converse are the most broken inside

Edit: okay some of y'all took this way too seriously 💀

I wanna run away but I’m worried about amber alerts😭

Sad part is some kids runa way for fun..

These videos make me feel more thankful that I have a loving family
I pray for these people who are running away❤❤❤❤❤❤

I should consider myself lucky because I don’t have to run away (I’m in a good living sitch), but I feel really bad for those of you who have to. Stay safe out there.

I dont want to run away, but these bring comfort to me for some reason.

2:34 running away is easy, it’s the living that’s hard…

I hope they ended up somewhere safe and happy :3

you gotta be like super smart to be able to run away like this

I’m currently on a train rn running away from home after my mom and I had this huge argument and she threatened to send me to a psych ward, and eventually arranged for me to go to one. I can’t go there it sounds horrible so I’m going to my cousin’s house for a while. I watched these videos a lot while I was preparing to leave so thanks.

Once I move and we get comfortable I am gonna sneak out to the park, which is super close, like a few houses away. I know its not running away but I just wanted to say because its my first time and I'm tired of being stuck inside. Im not encouraging this, you shouldn't do this, im just stupid.
