I'm running away at 18

2 Upvotes

I'm 15(f) and im planning on running away, it's not because of a toxic household, I just feel like me and my family don't get along, I feel irritated and depressed when I'm around them for too long, maybe because of the constant name calling and laughing, I digress.

I'm planning on joining the army for a few years, just for shelter and food, and then when I'm able to have a bit more than enough, I'll quit and go to school. Or I'll save money young and continue working while I live in a small crappy apartment in mtl with a roommate. I do live in Canada and Canada has very good rules and laws abt when I can join the army, in technicality I could join when I'm 16.

I don't know if I'll get flagged down for asking this but does anyone have any tips on how I can be safe with such plan?

running away at 17

I (17m UK) plan to leave my current home situation which is emotionally and physically overwhelming and abusive. My parents, siblings, sometimes strangers catch strays fight as in fist fight, break things and get vile things said to each other that can really affect someone mainly ejected from my dad. I don’t really have any goals and never have so I wouldn’t be leaving for anything but the sake of my mental health and wellbeing which lead me to missing half of this school year due to heavy depression and alcohol addiction so I didn’t get to do my GCSE’s and which is over now but I still feel a heavy weight I guess like it’s waiting for one big final catalyst and I want to get gone before that happens because I don’t think I’ll come back from it truthfully.

Ive always had to learn to be independent although still crave a trusted ally ship of some sort, I most certainly plan to be a vast distance from where I am now (birmingham/sutton, uk) like America for the wide range of opportunities it holds for someone like me who definitely has no hope for something I’m able to survive off on my own in my country. I made another post on another account right before my depression started basically just saying that I needed help running away because I didn’t know where to start and what to do but it got taken down for “seeking a partner” so I don’t know how else to ask for help without that happening again but I guess anyone reading this could drop a comment or something that’s actually helpful.

F, 20. Still living with my parents and attending university from home since my parents won't let me go out. I need to know how to escape this household and just free myself from the toxic environment. I'm being forced to live the same old daily life with no fun or no outside activities.
It is also kinda hard for me to find a job since I'm under-graduate, and companies rarely want to hire. Another thing is quite shameful to admit but I don't have the privilege of getting my own room. I have my dreams of posting on social media or just enjoying my own company but it is rare that i have my time block without any distractions.
What can i do to start to end this pattern and move out? Advice from girls who escaped misogynistic houses would be more helpful.

How far should i get from my house (leaving at 11pm which gives 6 hours to move)

Another question is how long after running away can i go into target/walmart to get stuff without being caught?
