I think I'm running away.

You obviously have not looked into it then...

You can always get emancipated (look it up) granted you can prove that you can take care of yourself.

 

If you're really into the whole 60s thing, why not join (or start) Amnesty International at your school? I was involved in it for a year and met some great people.

fuck smoking pot.

 

Frankly I say go for it, I knew a few people who ran away, they were back home within in 48 hours.

 

woodstock..i'm lookin into options for ya..but i can really tell ya if u just disapear & run off now ya probly wont find much help
imajine leavin gettin 100 miles if your lucky & havin your guitar stolen
what would u dothen..
i'm actualy feelinlil nervouse for ya since ya logged off ..really hoping in your desperation u didnt just tryto take off
iknow your feelin in that flight or fight mode..but u may just be suprised by how much waiting 1 more day may help if uuse that day tofigure out a plan..or try to find a way tomake the next day more bearable

everyone else..i have a feelin she did take off.. but ialso have a feelin ..shit..have a feelin it was a huge mistake..& kinda worried we might not hear from her awhile.. kinda think she'll end up backin theyre hands & ..probly get at least a eval commitment.. but idont think shes unstable at all like annie suggested.. shes just..well commimng unraveled byit all..hell i was quite unraveled when i left home at 14..i can understand a bad situation screwin withyour abilityto make rational desicions
end her love & light & guidance ..& hope shes doin ok..

&if sis..if udidnt leavge yet..god i hope not..but pretty sure we can work something out to help u..

idid thinkusin the time to burry yourself in your musicsgood.. take everything u are going through..& write some songs..
i wanna hear "the dea man" at the top of the charts someday..lol
all that rage..all that suffering.. thats what makes a trully great musician
your 15.. these are the experiences that will drive your music..
experience it..embrace it..&turn it into songs that inspire
thenyou'll be ready
ya dont want your 1st song tobe bout a trucker raping you & leavin ya bloody by the side of the road though do u?

lockyour door & playyour heart out..&u can live in the hipy comminityof your dreams right here till u can get away from there..arrmed withthe tools knowledge maturity & securityyou'll need to survive & be happy

 

We have had a similar story a while back about a boy in the same situation. My advice would be, go to your parents and say

. But I don't think that's an option....

I think if you say

It'll probhably hit them that you deserve to be an individual.

 

i'm not sure that would work..allmy issues withmy family that ended withme on my own very young were over becomeing an individual
&her parents seem more hardcore..
there are ways to approach it..but its gotta be done calmly & rationaly..
your not gonna get any parent to agree to let ya run off to sf alone at 15...aint happening..

gotothem say look..ineed to have a serius talk with you, dont speak, just listen...
tell them how the su[per strick control is tearring you apart..what they see as instability is being caused by theyre over protectiveness..& attemps to force you into a personality thats just not yours...
tell them how desperate you are to just feel a tiny bit of freedom to be yourself
tell them you almost ran away (if u didnt & hope u didnt) & risked your life just to feela taste of freedom...

then.. tell them what you need to keep your sanity & safety for 3 more years

tryto keepyour emotions in check.. dont let it become a fight...
dont expect the world to change for you overnight.. but definately ask them for what yopu need to get by...
then work it out

 

Head to Mexico and join the revolucion!

 

What revolution?

 

I have a delay though. I don't have any god damned money. My sister flaked out and doesn't want to be a part of it. But when my dad gets back from his business trip I doubt I'll really care.

 

if theres any possible way to just.. be quiet.. center yourself... let it roll off your shoulders..& not let it affect you..& allthe while quietly prepare yourself..untillyour ready..u do not want to take off with nothing..not alone...not at 15
theres places u can go, if u take your time to find somewhere safe...dothings right or things will go very wrong
i worry bout you

 

just try to chill... get some hobbies... try to avoid your parents as much as possible...
thats my motto anyhow. in 3 years your free to go... then youve got like... 70 years to do whatever you want. Just get good at guitar or else your not going to go anywhere anyhow. You have to be REALLY REALLY good to succeed in the music business these days or you have to be willing to sell out and do whatever the record companies tell you to do. Unless youve got this reservoir of amazing songs that are just waiting to be hits, in which case I say, start a band or start gigging, you'll make money and have fun and starting to integrate yourself into music more... Now ive never been to el paso, kinda sounds like it sucks but where is there to go? San Francisco isn't what it once was too, with the diggers and the love-ins and everything. I'll stop talking now.

 

thats whatikeep telling her
lotta kids dostill run away to haight st..but end up junkies or worse

your a real sweet girl & got slot goin for u, dont let it end with ya prostituting yourself just to survive.. il patience &plannin & ya can live your dream..&your dream will evolve as well as your becomming more prepared

hey...get someone to hug u..thinku could udse some huh
hugs

 

well at least when you run a way you will get your 5 minutes of fame on cnn.......... when they find your body....then again your a minor so they will not release your name ................bummer

 

that is a definate possible outcome
theres alotta sickos out there whod just love to get theyre hands on a cute lil hippy girl with dreams of stardom..
wanna know how that'll go?
hey girl..igot lotsa connections in the record biz.. why dont ya come back to my place & we'll talk

only u wont be talkin

u could lose your virginity (asssuming since i know your sheltered) & your life all in the same day

most dreams of stordom end in heartbreak..many in ruin...play your music for you..reachin for stardonm willonly add stresses to an already stressful life..but putting your heart into playin your music..for you..for healling will give your music deapth that will be noticed

 

are you crazy? you cant just run away, it doesnt work like that. i used to be all depressed but then i realized being 16 is great. it REALLY wont get any better than this... so enjoy it now and stop complaining. you get a free place to stay, free food, and clothes. so enjoy it for all its worth.... get a job and see how hard it is to make money and live on your own... IT SUCKS. just ignore your parents... avoid them... they sound like stupid assholes anyway. go to school, go chill somewhere till late, then come home if you really cant stand them. and once youre 18 and in college... bam... freedom. so just chill and enjoy your last few years of childhood. im sorry if this shit was fucked up i am ripped

 

Lucky you. I think I might go inhale permanent marker and see if I can get ripped. My parents don't leave long enough for me to get my hands on the vodka.

 

find a pimp quickly

 

now now. be nice

 

we both know inhalants are Never a good idea!
and well, i don't think alcohol is ever a solution.

ever try meditation? that has helped me in the past.

also i recently discovered lucid dreaming, which can be great fun. i am excited to fall asleep every night now, just to see what may happen.

something else i find helps me with stress is going to the library. its quiet, i can be alone and at peace. i can read and learn about anything i want. complete freedom....

 

Woodstock you need to look at these three years stuck at home as an opertunitey.

You should get a job and save money, and invest it/save it not spend it all on pot.

After you do that you cna leave and have enough cahs to get where you want, get a job and try to support your music.
