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.

Obviously they aren't horrible parents since you fake ran away lolol and it's obvious that you have ALOT of growing up to do since you did this and to top it off you did so to teach THEM a lesson lmao.

U do realize that even if u fake running away, ur parents can call the cops and ull be labeled a runaway and go to juvie. Grow up, wait til u get a real job then run away. Without looking back and balling ur eyes out like the little baby u are

How the heck would you go to juvie just for running away from home? If your parents call the cops, they'll just find you and take you back home and then usually ask the parents (and the child/teen) why it happened at all.

Cops will believe the parents before believing the kid. Happened to my cousin. She was hiding in her treehouse, parents called cops and after they showed up she walked over to them. Her parents said she wasn't their child but some homeless run away that did something to their daughter. She ended up in juvi until her parents said yup that's our daughter. After she learned her lesson 3 months later.

178 - Your cousin has some ****** up parents. Mine would have simply grounded me, not lied to the cops (a crime in itself) and sent me to jail.

In my country, if you're below 18, and your parents file a "beyond parental control" on you, you'll go to a juvie.

178- That story is bullshit. She wouldn't have gone to juvie unless it was proven she did something wrong. And if it was discovered that her parents lied like that then they would be charged for lying to police, and quite likely have their child removed because that is horrible parenting.

they probably know exactly where you are and they're just waiting for u to come inside, ydi

No trust me he's loved. All parents whose kids threaten to run off know they will come crawling back. If the parents give luxuries(wifi,internet,phones) to the kids, and the kids pull this shit then all kids will realize what good they have and crawl back home home.

Grow up. You ever think that they know you will come back eventually? Maybe they even knew where you were hiding.

Your parents know you. If you are threatening to run away, they likely know whether you're serious or not, and where you'd go even if you *are*. They're not going to give into your little temper tantrum and go looking for you when you're making stupid and childish threats. You...are not their authority and they don't have to do what YOU want them to. The world doesn't revolve around you. Get over yourself. What they're more likely to do is call the cops on your punk ass and let them do the work. There's a lot of legalities involved, such as the label of being a run away, and perhaps a stint in the juvenile delinquency system. Do you seriously want to be considered a delinquent and punished more for your pitiful attempts at getting your own way? Grow up kid, we don't always get what we want.

That's what you get for acting like a big ******* cry baby. How old are you? 6? Find a hobby, kiddo.
