Today, I got mad at my parents and threatened to run away. Things got so bad that I packed a bag and left, planning to hide in my front yard to teach them a lesson. It's been two hours, and I'm still standing behind a bush in front of my house while they make no effort to look for me. FML

They're not going after to you because they know you'll be back when it's dinner time.

YDI. Parents aren't always easy to deal with but the way to handle it is not by spazing out and threatening them with stupidity. Why dont you sit with them, talk to them and handle the situation like a mature human being

Sounds like they know you better than you know yourself. Now get out of the bush and on your way! Time to fend for yourself and learn some real life lessons.

So how bad was this fight? Bet it can't top the reason I ran from my home. Was 16, I love horror movies, before good old DVD we had video and my friend got me the exorcist, catholic mother not happy! She comes home Christmas eve with holy water and starts throwing it in my face screaming " Satan is in this house now!" then takes the video out back and burns it! Ya, that's a reason to run away!

140- No, I don't think that's a reason to run away. Yeah, that's a little crazy, but there are worse things to leave home for.

You ran away over your mom's reaction to a movie. You're just as dumb as the OP

Eh no, because a manic woman with holy water and fire thought I was Satan.

That's not a reason to run away. That's a reason to remember to hide your horror movie DVDs and anything else considered Satanic until you have your own apartment.

"Your an idiot" The irony here is delicious.

Sounds like something I'd do when I was 5... now my mum offers her keys.

Probably not. Are you, though? You certainly type like one.

I know that feeling... ran away because my stepfather was being an abusive jerkass, wandered around barefoot in the 100'F heat... nobody came looking for me. 3 hours later, my ex comes by and picks me up, takes me back to his house for a week to recover. Anyway, I'm rambling here... FYL, honestly. I'd get out of there if I were you.

Are you honestly suggesting the OP run away from home after an argument with their parents? In all likelihood, the OP got into an argument with their parents because of something THEY did, not abuse. Don't encourage people to run away from their homes, especially if you have no proof that the OP is being abused.

No? I was giving advice in case of a worst-case scenario; not "my parents won't buy me an iPhone and I hate them for it." Don't assume, please. You don't know that the situation either... it could be bad, it could be an overreaction. Either way, it's not really something to take lightly.

I'm not assuming anything. I'm reading exactly what you wrote in your post; by stating you'd get out of there if you were the OP, you are suggesting that the OP should get out of the situation, based on an assumption - sans proof or reasoning, and with a note to advise me not to assume - that it's worse than it actually is. That aside, though, I doubt this is serious. If it was as serious as you believe it to be, the OP wouldn't have just hidden in the front yard to teach his parents "a lesson." By stating that he did it to teach his parents "a lesson", it sounds petty - I'm right, you're wrong. Not anything serious.

148- Why are you giving OP bad advice? He wouldn't be hiding in the bushes of his front yard if it were that serious.

#148 for you running away may have turned out ok, but I am somehow doubtful of the idiot hiding in a bush trying to "teach his parents a lesson." That language alone tells us that the situation is not serious. Please refrain from drawling parallels to two completely different situations.
