find a employment or a place to stay before you do this because nobody gets joy from living on the streets unless you sleep in your car or pitch a tent or something, stay at a relatives or a friends house if you can ..

220 squid wont get you far in this current economic climate ..

if you follow through then be sure to leave a note, you dont have to say where you intend to go, but saying you want to survive by yourself and you'll call back once you are grounded and that you needed to try this out and you didn't want to tell them because of fear that they'll try and stop you, just so your family don't freak out ...

alternatively you could just straight out tell them you are leaving, you are an adult so they can't stop you and then you wont feel stressed that you've run away because you actually told them, and that way you'll be welcomed back in a jiffy because you were sincere ..

p.s stay in school

Running away isn't going to make it better. You can't just run away from your problems. It might be good for a few days but then it'll be worse than it was. It's not a vacation. You take your problems with you and with out any support it will be twice as hard. Stay home, your too young to go somewhere with out a plan. Talk to someone you know about your problems, thats the first step. It will get better, trust me.

Before you make such a drastic decision, please seek help from a professional. I have horrible social skills, and I assume that's what you're referring to when you say "you hate living like this." Some cognitive behavioral therapy and possibly some medication to help put the techniques you'll learn into action will lead to a new outlook on life for you. I know it did for me. I was suicidal and didn't want anything to do with the life I was living. Unfortunately, this is the only life you have. As hard as it may seem to do right now, you've got to play the hand you've been dealt. You've gotta work up your self-esteem by not giving a rat's ass what anybody else thinks. Everyone is unique, and as much as other people may seem to dislike you, you can't allow that to ruin your life. You've got everything it takes to be successful in life. Right now you're just letting other peoples' opinions skew your view of yourself. You need to realize what you want out of your own life, and stop letting other people's words and/or actions control your future. In reality, the only opinion that matters is the one that you have of yourself. I'm sure you have plenty of strengths in your personality. Why allow your anxiety to control your life? The longer you allow it to do so, the more time you're going lose being held back by an insignificant part of life. There are plenty of people here who are going through the same things as you. All of us are here to help eachother in achieving the same goal of overcoming anxiety. It's totally possible, as much as you may think otherwise. A week or two on the streets and you'll realize how much of a mistake you're making. Please just get some professional help before making such a rash decision.


Peace

Well you're a dumbass but it's not like you're going to listen...ah well.

Who are you to say that? Do you know exactly what he's going through? No, you simply assume his problems can't be THAT bad.. You have no idea what you're talking about, dumb ass.

Why exactly are you running away?

Oh ok then...go try to scrounge for survival on the streets..there's always prostitution.

My point was more having to do with you calling him a dumb ass i'm not saying running away is a good idea but certain situations can drive anyone off the stream of common sense that they have no other way out. You don't know what he's going through.
