"underage" wanderers

being underaged and on the road is inviting major problems that sometimes will make you yearn to go back to your secure home life ,and i'm not talking about just scrounging to get enough food to keep you fed either .....predators are out there looking for runaways ..especially bus stations .they can spot a runaway a mile away .they will befriend you ,feed you ,house you but what they ask in return is sometimes sheer hell for that person ..just talk to young prostitutes that have been able to get away from it ....

 

oh yeah and psyco-perverts, pretty scary people...

 

my lord...

I do want to finish highschool! I was just ranting...i don't know what to do in the meantime you know..most of my days are spent daydreaming. It's hard to focus in school when there aint no one there you can relate to. anyhow... ( by the way, i'm very aware that being the road isn't always beautiful and free...isn't that part of the beauty in it though?) I know its not a smart thing to do at my age, which is why i'm not planning on doing anything till i'm 18...I'm going to finish highschool, when i get my diploma i'll take a year and work, i'll have saved up a fair amount of money by then and i'm going to travel around with my camera for however long, and go to college and study photography at Dawson. There's a goal behind me being on the road, there are many. Photography is what will keep me grounded to some extent, like when it comes to going to college, having a career and settling down and such in the future. I don't really know why i'm telling y'all my plan haha, plans obviously change, but hopefully if i plan this well enough and inform myself properly everything will fall into place as i dreamed it would. if that makes any sense at all...

Thanks to all who replied and offered me advice...

...i don't want to come off as uneducated, "wannabe", immature, etc, i have a head on my shoulders, i know right from wrong...I can think and see beyond my dreams and find balance in them, i have alot going for me, and i can say this with certainty and confidence. I hate the fact that people take one look at me and judge me to be a young, disrespectful, uneducated teenager with no sense of reason or planification. Just because i dream doesn't mean i don't realise concequences, etc, and alot of people don't get it, i'm just classified as a teenager and nothing more, like my dreams, beliefs, values and morals have no solid, realistic foundation, that enrages me to the highest point.

alright i'm going to stop now lol,

peace all,
Angela

 

you know... every one always is saying " i don't relate to anyone "
you relate to every one because of that.

every single person knows something you don't know.
you know something every other person doesn't.

 

too bad as a photographer you don't have a chance to take some great pictures like my son does ........he flies the high arctic and sends me photos every week ............awesome pictures ...even sent me pictures from greenland

 

when i was on the road i used to love to take pictures of icebergs .........this is one of them ....taken in white's bay ,newfoundland
