I have no curfew and can stay out as long as I want to so I have no real reason to run away...

It's actually me who likes to stay at home... 🤣

🤣 This is pretty much me as well. As long as I tell my parents where I'm going and about what time they will be expecting back, I can do whatever (of course if I really felt like it, I could just go somewhere else and they wouldn't even know or care). I like being at home because everything is free and I stay in my room all day (my mom kind of worries about that...lol).

Although sometimes I just what to leave for a day and be alone so there is one time that I was so pissed off I told my parents I was going out for a walk...but I wouldn't really count that as running away...

Nah, I don't have anywhere else to go. Where I am is home 😀 A bed, tacos, my endless supply of yaoi on my computer, and cell phone, who needs to runaway? If I did I'd be a hobo out on the streets 🤣

Yeah, when I was 5 or so... 🤣

It's one of my earliest childhood memory. My parents must have scolded me that's why I packed some clothes and transferred to my grandparents' house which is directly infront of ours....During meals they'd see me and I'd see them but I'd pretend not to. They'd call out to me saying something like "come back our runaway child!" 🤣

To see everything from the perspective of eternity

I vote for no 🙂 like the other users here, who want to leave a home where I can get free internet(which btw, I can't live without xP) by free meaning, I don't have to spend a single penny,only my father does hehe
But I got close to one, I don't think the story I'm about to tell is considered running away but it sorta is because nobody know where I am 😛
It's during my early life, about 7 years old.....I forgot why but something or someone made me extremely angry and as the 7 years old I am, I felt like I need to do something to show my discontent.....so
I went to the room upstair where my family put unused things and boxes and I went into hiding between the narrow opening of the boxes there...I just sat there quietly and sulking
I don't know for how long I waited when my family members started to call my name and search for me...Even though the space is really narrow and cramp...I just sat there, I guess to prove them something(?) and for my own ego too 🤢 hahaha
Lastly, somebody found me...I showed them my unsatisfied face but, well in my heart I was smiling with glee that at last somebody found me...I couldn't take it any more
That's my story 🤨 aahh~ Good time good time 😃

I used to run away all the time when I was little. From about 7 until I was about 12 I would often storm out of the house, sometimes with a few clothes, in protest or out of sheer anger. If it was bad I would go to my late Nanna's for the night if I wanted to get away but didn't mind if my parents knew or I would go to my best friend's for the night if I wanted to make them worry. Sometimes I would just go missing for several hours, usually go play at the brook near my house. Sometimes I would hide in my front garden, just to watch my parents frantic efforts to search for me and see how long it was until I felt bad and reappeared. I never went missing for more than a night though. I always knew how lucky I was so my running away was just me trying to clear my head.

When I got older I just escaped by walking the dog or shutting myself up in my room and retreating into a book. Now I'm 20 and live at uni I don't need to run away. I rent a house with some friends and only go home occassionally. Holidays are so tyaxing because I'm too independant now to live with my parents and my siblings are just irritating. I love my family to bits I just don't like them very much sometimes, lol.

The pen is mightier than the sword...and considerably easier to write with.

Nope. Although I get beaten up by my dad everyday with the whip...just joking 🤣 But sometimes I think how wonderful it will be when I am going to live on my own without my parents getting on my nerves...

Living on your own is only fun when you think of it as a kid, once you're old enough to live on your own you'll see how annoying it can be. Eventually you're going to need to move out and pay for your own bills, rent, food, transportation, etc. Enjoy freeloading off your parents while you still can and stop complaining.

Being "free" to do anything you want isn't as fun as you think it is, because all you're going to be doing is working most of your week to earn enough just to get by, while going to school or college to hope that you'll pass. That's what I did for a year and I can tell you that the only thing I think about doing when I get home is sleep and wake up bright and early the next morning to do the exact same thing again. You have more freedom at home, better enjoy it.

Of course I am aware of that. But you don't have an idea how much my parents stick to me. I know they are worried about me. But still it's annoying. I have no problem to work my ass off till night if I can get just a little privacy at home...without anyone sticking to me.

No.... like other's I never felt the desire to runaway (even before I grew to appreciate the luxuries of mooching off my parents --- internet, food <- this especially, and a place to stay). I also would have nowhere to go; or maybe I just thought that people who ranaway (or rather attempted to) were just crying for attention. From when I was 5-8 years old, my older sister tried this several times and I just laughed... she is only a year older than me and we aren't very close.
Recently, about a year ago, my younger cousing (8 or 7 yrs old at the time) tried to runaway when I was over visiting. He was arguing with his parents (who are far too soft on him), stormed around the house grabbing his favourite things and running out the door. My uncle was about to run after him but I blocked him from following and laughed telling him to leave alone and ignore my cousin even after he came back. My relatives live in a very nice area in the city and there wasn't much to worry about. Likely my cousin would go to the park near his house. Sure enough, when he came back after 2 hours he expected to find everyone in a panic and someone to be out looking for him. He cried when he found that we pretended not to care. 😛

Can you imagine an imaginary menagerie manager imagining managing an imaginary menagerie?

yes. and it both failed. but look, i got a computer, and bike if i go back home. so, i did. lol.

my mom bribed me.. -.-

Let's get Kickin' ...whatever that means

hmmm a couple times from like 5-now i threatened too.... but that was only when i got really pissed off at something my mom/dad said/did basically only after fights with them. when i was 5 i actually packed my clothes and sneaked into the kitchen to get some twinkies for food 🤣 5 min later my mom discovered my bag of food and clothes though 🙄 and ridiculed me on planning to run away 😐 i think she somehow convinced me to stay? weird cant remember why i didnt really run away? too chicken i guess. Though i kinda want to now but i gotz no where to go. i dont want to burden my friends or anything. 🙁

"Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived."- Dalai lama

Makes me wonder..why do ppl want to run away from home? Is it bcoz life isnt good for them? Restriction of freedom? Peer pressure or simply bored?

I left home cuz I'm bored and wanted adventure+independence.

mine was... well... i think it's just the heck of it. since there's no real reason that would make me want to run away in the first place.

nope luv my life 😃

yes, when i was either four or five.
i'm pretty sure it was cuz my brother got the last ice cream because he had to go to piano practice. so i stayed under the table until they left and then i got a stick and packed up little runaway style (with the pouch on the end of the stick which is carried over-the-shoulder style).

i got half a mile away until a construction worker found me and i got sent back home in a police car. i almost got separated from my mom and dad for 'bad parenting'. i hid under my parents' bed for the rest of the day, because that was the one place they couldn't reach. 😛
