    Well, I hope you're wanting to do this legally. In either way, reconsider Los Angeles. You would survive much more easily in Texas or Oklahoma. I don't know if you can come to America underage, legally that is. What's the plan?

    you need valid passport,money,airport terminal maps (not needed but are a good idea so you dont look like a idiot). And other than that you are old enough to travel alone without assistance from the airlines.

    A labotomy. People your age are major targets of sick people these days. When I was your age, I thought I was ten feet tall and bullet-proof, but now that I'm wiser, and times are different, I surely know not to embark on such a foolish venture. It's probably 75% safe, but what about that other 25%? It certainly happens to some of them.

    You are a minor and would not be issued a passport or green card without the consent of your parents or legal guardian.

    ¿Que clase de visa? El proposito del viaje tiene que ser el mismo como la clase de la visa. Vas a necisitar dinero suficimente para pagar el costo del viaje. Tienes que demonstrar que puedes salir del pais cuando el vieja termina. ¿Con quien te quedas? Vas a necisitar su direccion para llenar el permiso. Su numero del telefono tambien. Buena suerte.

    I live in California so you will need a job here, a house to settle in, food, water, money (dollars), and an education at nearby schools.

    Great! Come visit me, I'm a TV producer who, coincidentally, has been searching for a 16 year old Mexican actress for my next movie. I will make you a star!! WOW! BUTTTTT, uhhh, first you have to go through my "screening", which can last up to a whole night...on my good days...

    JUST KIDDING, DON'T COME TO LA WITHOUT YOUR PARENTS!!!! I'M NOT A TV PRODUCER, SO DON'T E-MAIL ME!!!

  • Yeah you need to have a legal paper signed by your parents that shows they know about you're gonna go outside your country. REMEMBER YOU'RE NOT 18 YET, SO YOU CAN NOT DECIDE WHAT TO DO BY YOURSELF
