I am 16 years old and I want to live with my sister in Massachusetts, but I live with my mother in Florida. I am under state protection that states that I can’t leave until I’m 18 years of age.
I have never really wanted to be down here. I don’t feel safe and over the past year, the person who is suppose to stay away hasn’t and has caused problems. Is there any possible way I can be with my sister in Massachusetts? anon2914
I’m 17 going to be 18 in less than three months. I finished high school back in march. I work 48-55 hours a week at two jobs.
It stresses me out so much. They judge me. They are always saying I’m pregnant, which I’m not, and I have proven it to them. Never have been pregnant, either.
I need to leave. I’m tired of falling asleep in a waterfall every night. I’m tired of being judged my my own family. I’m just tired of it all. What can I do to leave now? My heart is aching in pain. Even my boyfriend feels my pain. Help. anon2903
I’m 16 turning 17 in January. I have a boyfriend who is 18 and turning 19 at the end of September.
They told me if I don’t like to be with them to just leave the house. I’ve been wanting to lately, but feel like they just say that to push my buttons. If I leave my house and run away, and they try looking for me, could they charge my boyfriend? For what? We live in Indiana. anon2696
I am a 17 year old female who lives in Missouri. I will not be 18 until next year but I want to know if I can legally move out of my house to live with my boyfriend and his mother. My boyfriend is 17 also and will be turning 18 in four months. I absolutely hate it at my house and I am basically the Cinderella of my family. anon2671
My boyfriend is 19, and he sees the physical and verbal abuse my family has giving me
I am 17 and will be 18 in seven months and I’m living in New Hampshire with my father. We have never gotten along and I want to leave the house. He tells me that if I run away, he will call the cops on me and have them take me back to a children’s home.
My father verbally abuses me all the time. I’m constantly wanting to cut or overdose on something. What can I do? Please help me get out of this situation. anon2633
My parents loved him, but now they judge him more than ever
18 is considered an adult. It doesn’t matter if you are a male or female, tall or short, fat or skinny, black or white. You are 18 and you can choose how and where to live your life. Go out, spread your wings, and be free! anon258664 yesterday
My godchild is turning 16 in June. We both live in Louisiana. Her mother is a pain pill addict and her father attempted to kill her and her 
siblings when they were younger.
She is very unhappy and not very well taken care of by either parent. She would like to come live with me and my husband but her mother and father will not approve it. My question is at what age could she leave and it be OK with the state laws? anon2583
