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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents started fighting at a restaurant. Embarrassed, I went to the restroom to get away and stayed in there for about 15 minutes, knowing how long their fights can last. When I came back, they were gone. They'd ditched me, and left me to walk several miles back home. FML
Today, I got into a fight with my mom, and stormed out of the house. I walked two blocks before realizing that I have no place to go, and no friends to vent to. FML
Today, I overheard my parents planning on how to get me to move out of the house. It's my house. They only came to visit and forgot to leave. FML
Today, my parents were out and about, leaving me alone in the house. They said they would leave some lunch for me. I couldn't find it. After telling them when they got home, my mom got huffy and showed me that it was in a place I would have never thought to look. She then got even more mad when I was annoyed by this. FML
Today, I slipped out my bedroom window at night in an attempt to rebel against my parents. Then I realized that I have no friends and nowhere to go, so I tried to climb back in. I fell, broke my ankle, and laid in the dirt until my parents found me in the morning. FML
Today, my parents and I went to the movies for my mom's birthday. After the movie, my mom and dad got into a fight, and left me at the movies. My cell phone was dead, and my house was about 12 miles away. They finally came and picked me up, hours later. FML
Today, I tried to surprise my parents by coming home from college for Spring Break. I arrived to find a dark house, with all the doors bolted shut. After calling them, I found out that they have gone on a vacation to Hawaii for a week. I am now locked out of my own house, with no where to stay. FML
Today, I finally decided to stand up for myself and quit my crappy job working for my abusive father. I gave him a few insults too, to which he reacted by calling the police and claiming I'd threatened to murder him. I spent three hours in jail before they finally let me go. FML
Today, I moved out of my parents' house and started living alone. All of a sudden, my parents started requiring me to text or call them every 5 minutes to tell them where I am and what I'm doing, from 6am to 12am every day. If I don't, they will go looking for me, and force me to move back in with them. FML
Today, I decided to tan naked in a secluded part of my yard, so I wouldn't get tan lines. I even felt adventurous enough to leave my bikini and towel inside. This idea backfired however when my mom stopped home from work, assumed I wasn't home, and locked all the doors before she left again. FML

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

Teaching your parents a lesson makes you seem like a spoiled brat. I'd like to be you did something to set them off.

Sounds to me like a spoiled child, grow up and be the adult , then maybe you will get some respect.

I've never understood the "Oh my god, my parents are like the worst people evuurr, I'm running away!"-thing. What were you trying to accomplish? Do you really think your parents will apologize to you for whatever has happened after that? You only look like an idiot who is disrespectful and doesn't appreciate the things your parent do for you. Stop being such a pussy and grow up!

I ran away at 16 and people told me I was being childish. Two weeks later my parents reported me missing, a week after that the cops found me, two weeks after that and the courts decided I was better off on my own, and I have been since. Some teens have a valid reason to run away.

Yes, I can understand it's the better thing to do in some occassions. I know some people who ran away from home and their lives got a lot better than it would have been if they stayed at home. I guess I should have pointed that out. But what I meant with my comment is that the feeling I get from this FML that it was just a random outburst from OP. He/she didn't think this through and I don't think OP was serious with his/her threat. I mean hiding in the bushes in front of their house doesn't sound very serious, does it?

You're both right.

240- I agree with you about the OP, the way the FML is worded makes them sound like an immature little ****. I just wanted to clarify that not every kid who runs away from home is being childish and immature. But I can now see that you understand that.

Wow!!! Get a grip!

I did this when I was in first grade. They probably just realize you're an attention *****. So continue to entertain yourself with your WiFi and sooner or later you'll come to your senses
