Ever just wanted to leave?

Anyone ever just wanted to get up and leave EVERYTHING behind? I have been feeling more and more that way for a while now. Im also beginning to feel if i dont do something drastic like this then i may become trapped in painful memories. But im frightened. Im 16 (17 in Nov) so I could (Its legal to leave home from 16 in scotland), Just get up, withdraw some cash and go. My parents...well...but I will miss my friends. More than anything I will miss what im running away from. But if I stay here I may spend my whole life being reminded of the person I cant be with. URGH its just hurt so much for years. Suicide aint the way out, no matter what but maybe leaving everything behind is.

ok (aye means yes if u were trying to sound scottish lol).

Lol well whatever floats your boat.

I think that sure go for it but I can almost gaurentee that you will come back bc life isnt all peachy keen and when you get out there you will realize that even though you were down sometimes at home it is a better enviroment then where ever you are heading.....my opinion anyway

but yes i have felt that way...i am just too young to do anything about it and even if i was old enough id just wait for college bc then i could have freedom with my parents money...lol....nah but seriously....you can run and give yourself a scare if that is what you need.....hope this helped....luv yas mwah hope u feel better soon

-kayla-

Don't start with the labeling game today. Sometimes walking away can be the best solution. One night, I had to get up and leave home because things were going really bad: parents fighting, siblings really upset, I had a lot of personal problems... So I climbed out my window and just ran. I had no direction, but I just kept going.. I got to the other end of town and I just wandered around, thinking about things, trying to sort everything out. After a few hours (it was almost dawn), I went home and went back to my room to catch a few minutes of sleep before I had to go to school... But I felt so much better. Sometimes running away from your problems helps you solve them. Don't automatically label people who choose that route as a coward. If I wanted to be a coward in that situation is if I had stayed in my room that night and let my demons consume me and drive me to violence. So look at things in a different light before you label. And yes, I am talking to you, Andeo... And Britt... Did you even read her post? This has nothing to do with not wanting to be around someone she can't be with...

No matter the situation, it's better to just go and clear your head than resorting to anything else more serious. Don't try to second guess me, Andeo, because you know I'm right. I'm speaking from experience. Leaving for good is not the best option, but taking a midnight walk to calm yourself is good for you mind, body and spirit. Do that and talk to another friend or relative before you conscider moving out of your home.

Aye, that's what she said, Britt, but that is not her whole reason for wanting to leave. If you read her post completely, you'd see there are many more reasons for her consciderations.

It was a suggestion, Britt. Rather than leaving, go for a walk. READ, WOMAN!

Will you both stop taking my words out of context? I am trying to suggest she go walk and give herself time to think before she decides to run away for good. I am not saying... Screw this! You girls are so bloody thick headed that you can't understand the simplest things... Do what you want, I obviously have no valued opinion in this thread.

If you pay attention to her emotions and the way she worded her post, you can tell that there is more behind her message than just this person she can't have. That is but one memory of multiple (memories), as I see it. No one her age would ever suggest the thought of suicide over a lover. It makes no sense. There is obviously more there than meets the eye.

You shouldn't only look to the one situation presented. Not all problems spur from one. A person wouldn't conscider running away over one problem. There must be more to it (Remember, you aretalking to a psychology major).

"Sorry for your luck"? Don't give me that. The people on this site who say they will kill themselves over their exes usually post that for attention, so people will talk to them, because they feel lonely without their boyfriend/girlfriend. If a person was going to commit suicide, they would have done it already instead of talking it up on a poetry website. I hope this girl does come back on, so i can talk to her about what is really bothering her. Who knows - you may be right. I may be a shallow-rooted problem that lies with the lover. Or I could be correct - there could be more than what she let on.

"A girl ran away from here because her friend stop being her friend (and she claims thats the only reason)." key phrase: "she claims"... Correct me if I'm wrong, but you still are young and stupid. (18, no?) As am I. I have gotten my bachelor's in Psychological Sciences. I do wish to talk to her to find out what is really going on. Because if there is something really bothering her, I want to be able to help her.

Ther are many variables in this world. So many constant that effect the variables. We never know. But statistcs are against thenotion that a teenager would commit suicide for the sole variable of lost love. But again, it is a variable that can have many different effects in many people. In a world with a population of 6 billion, there is no true prediction of human behavior, because there is always a subgroup that does not follow the normal pattern of function.

If you want to quote me, don't take it out of context. I said: "Correct me if you're wrong, but you still are young and stupid (18, no?). As am I." I believe that even in our eighties, we are still young and stupid.
Youth: To compare our lifespans to that of our planet's is absurd. We are young in that aspect.
Stupidity: To be truly intelligent, we must first admit we know nothing. People are inherently stupid. We only use 10% of our brains and cannot perform many simple tasks until adolescence. While in comparison to animals, they reach adulthood and full mental maturity when we are but ignorant toddelers. If we had the same mental and pysical growth, we would be out of school and in thw workforce by the time (in normalcy) we would be in kindergarten.

no.

Andeo, I am merely quoting statistics. I am not molding this girl into that group. She could be one of those who does not fit that category. Human psychology contradicts itself many times over, because we can't always predict human behavior. It is volitile... Like vinegar and baking soda. Say the person in vinegar, and an emotional stimulant, such as heartbreak, is baking soda. Add the BS to the vinegar, and we see that it fizzes. But like human reactions to stimulus, the vinegar could have either a violent reaction or a light bubbling. People react differently to the same stimuli. It's not easy to predict.

Britt, I did have "As am I" in my post. You were careless and didn't read it. Learn to slow down and read and we won't have these problems.

I was answering the initial question Britt

mm; m-hm-hm-hm!

Are you doubting that, Britt? Hmm... What's your major?

George Mason University.

What field do you think you'll go into when you get your degree? Business Technology is an interesting major, as I hear.

I want to possibly get into criminal psychology. If I do that, I need a Bachelor's in Administration of Justice, but I'd be willing to do that, because you get to work with tough cases where defendeant plead insanity to get off of tougher charges like homocide or rape.

Hm... Sounds really cool. So is it computer-based administration, or..? I never actually read into the degree field.

It doesn't take long - especially if you take AP classes in high school, to get a few credits out of the way. For me, it took a year and a half in college, because i took 6 APs in high school.

Summer college classes help, too, because you can get way ahead. Take two orthree classes over the summer and that's 6 -8 credit hours you don't have to take in the fall.

High school: 6
semester 1 college: 18
semester 2: 20
summer: 6
semester 3: 18

Both names are acceptable for the major. I just like how "Psychological Sciences" sounds. ^_^

???

Each class you take in high school that is conscidered AP, that you score a 3 or better on the AP test for, you receive 1 college credit. In the span of my high school carreer, I took 6, scoring a 4 or a 5 (the highest you can score) on all of them. I earned those credits. And yes, I did start at a community college. I took one semester there to complete my general classes before I transferred to GMU to finish my bachelor's.

Collage for me would be either in graphic design or surgic vet

I’ve wanted to be with them for near four years. I love him, nomatter how much I try to deny it. Yes im sure. He's the first thing I think of in the morning and the last thing I think off at night and everything in between. It grew over time but I was sure at a young fifteen. Its like nothing else matters. I used to be really fun loving and find joy in everything. Now everything is trivial. I don’t want to live like this anymore (Not to sound suicidal or anything cause I aint). Especially as im a Christian and should therefore take joy in everything god made. I want me back. But perhaps she's gone already. I probably will wait it out. Who knows what will happen. I always swore I would. So I will, whether I end up regretting it or not. All that matters now is to not to give up hope. Not to try and save myself by leaving but to trust in god and in time. Scary thought tho.

A very mature answer to such a twisted situation... I like that. I'm sorry you feel so torn within yourself, and I would like to help you. Reading your original post, I was thinkingthere was more to your sadness than unrequited love. So, if it doesn't bother you, do you want to talk about what's ging on. I want to try to help you.

It seems that way, Andeo.

LMFAO @ COOLOR....

I don't like you Garrett...you seem to think you're some almighty God or something.

no, Garett is just a nice person.

You don't know me, so how can you judge me, Natalie? I can say you are a self righteous child. But I would not be right, would I? I see you as a beautiful, intelligent, strong-willed woman, who isn't afraid to share her thoughts and feelings. You also have a great talent for writing. i have read your poems and was very impressed. You have many good qualities in you. Which is admirable, no?

That was so sweet...BUT I tell it exactly how I feel. If I have the wrong impression then my apologies. But the way you talk it seems as though you think you are higher than all else. Maybe I'm reading it all wrong...

And everyone makes an impression. Everyone presumes judgement on others...that's a fact of life.
