Anyone ever leave home early or start a new life?

What did you have to go through?

 

well lets see i left home at 15 the summer of 1980..
i wandered around a bit sleepin in parks moochin off friends etc..
till i had dug such a hole that i was dumped off on the interstate and was left to roam..

during the next 5 years fulltime and following 2 part time i can honestley say i never had to bad of a experiance..

during that time i found the rainbow family,found out that at the time there wernt nuthin wrong with lettin a old sick fuck suck your dick an pay ya for it,,discovered that not eating for 4 or 5 days at a time is a enlightning experiance when its not your choice..woke up one night with a 2 foot long rat cuddled up to me,, but it was ok it was freezing out..
spent nights in -12 weather, panhandled,,hit up churches for cash and food...

i could go on an on but its easier if i had specific questions..

I only stole outright once in those 7 years and i regret that..
An the biggest blessin the folks that saved my life and made me what i am today is meeting the rainbow family..if it wernt for them i think id still be lost..

leaving young was hard then,, im sure its only gotten worse.. lots an lots of predators seeking out the young lost ones..

do you have leavin home early storys from 1965?? im sure hed like to here them..

 

Dropped out of HS, left home at 18 to start my first live-in relationship in the middle of nowhere. Got disowned by all members of the family. Almost a year and a half later only 5 family members are on speaking terms with me, the relationship is non-existant and I'm still out in the middle of nowhere. Looking forward to a new beginning in a few weeks/months.

 

I got married and left home at the age of 16.

I typically start life anew every few years, moving from place to place, job to job, etc.

There are always obstacles to work around, jump over, or remove. But, things always end up the way they are supposed to be, for the best.

 

I left home the first time at 13..got caught alot, the courts in Alexandria Va got sick of me and sent me back to my hometown of Chicago till Chicago got tired of me and sent me back. Spent alotta time between 13-15 being locked up.My folks finally stopped reporting me when I left after I turned 15. Be very prepared to take your belt in several notches cause theres alotta time you will not have a focking thing to eat...for days. Be prepared to be used and abused, with or without your permission. Hard as shit being alone and under age and trying to live offa the grid. I had alotta amazing times but I had just as many or more nightmares happen too. Lucky as shit I didn't get killed during that time 'cause there were many times I never thought I was gonna make it thru the night. Then there is the simple fact that to get almost any stupid job these days, you better have a high school education or equivalency. I'm fortunate enough to have gotten that and some college over the years but no degree. I stole one time too. I stole some clothes so I could get a job. You will be old enough to leave with an education very soon. Unless life is abusive where you are I would suggest sticking it out for the very short time you have left. In the scheme of things, it really is a short time, it just feels like a million years especially when yer young.
