So im really depressed and i want to run away from home because of 2 things:1.I can't get a girlfriend no matter what(not even less prettier)2.I've got 3 F's at school that i just can't deal with.My parents are sad as well and it makes me even more depressed so i want to just leave home and live on the streets.Here is what i was gonna do.
1.Get some money(i get like 10 bucks a week for food)
2.Supply on food(chocolates,snacks)
3.Take something like a knife to defend myself
4.Try to get a job as a cleaner or do stuff for other people in exchange my services for money(im 15)
5.Never go back
Am i doing the right thing?

Hey jake. First of all, You Are Doing The Wrong Thing!
Worrying about not having a girlfriend might seem important now but your time will come (im21 and never had a boyfriend )
Second, you might think it will be easy to just live on $10 a week but if you can't find a job? And I don't think youll be able to find work without a place to live.
Also, a knife is not the best firm of security, and you wouldn't be safe even with one. It would more likely threaten someone into getting aggressive and dangerous towards you than actually defend you.
So your 15, have a think about what you want to do, maybe you could do an apprenticeship or something if schools going bad. Do something you like. ( and you'll be graduating in a couple years- it goes fast!)
I know it's hard to ( dont worry I know exactly what it's like to feel hopeless) but stay positive, there is a lot of good around you if you look, and there will be many opportunities for you to choose whether you want to make the most of your time at home or be negative and make yourself feel even worse.
Maybe try getting your family to sit down together at the table for dinner so you can talk and relate.
Good luck and stay strong. You'll get through whatever life throws at you.
Stay with your family, do more fun stuff together Ann's stay positive!

Ya know man, I was there a few years back. The only difference is I did have a girl that dumped me after 3 years for someone else. Mom and step dad non stop drinking into there depression. Just about flunked my freshman year. I had things packed and ready to go. But I got a text. As random as can be saying, "Keep your head up things get better". Kinda made me feel like someone knew what I was going through. Long story short I fought through 4 years of highschool without anybody. And things seem to have fell in my lap. Full ride to college. A girl who has stuck around even when I've been a jerk to her. I now have a decent job. So bud before you walk out that door ill tell you something. Keep your head up, things WILL get better. :) hope this helps you out
