Is running away a good option or not?

My friend wants to runaway with his gf he's only 17 and says he won't get caught but even if he doesn't get caught i still think after he turns 18 and goes to school and try to get a job it might affect that I dont think it's a good idea but he says its the only way they could be together but I still think it's the wrong thing then. What do you guys think

Encourage him to do it. And then he'll realize how much of a tool and an idiot he is, it'll teach him a lesson about life and women as well.

Just because you run away, don't mean it will solve your problems.

Need more context.

This and also it depends on the problem.

of course it's a good idea, they can be hobos together. What a life :)XilePrincess

I would really advise your friend not to do that.

Well its has always worked for me, tell him to do it and if it doesnt work out for him he can always come back Solid_Tango

i feel sorry for the girl.... she's gonna be stuck with a loser who plans on having her support him "until 18" but probably mean "for good". sad, sad story.

Your friend sounds pretty immature. I don't think he fully grasps the reality of what he's considering. He will be caught, and when he is he's going to be in a heap of trouble. Regardless of whether or not his girlfriend is consenting to this, her parents can press all sorts of charges, claiming that even if she did do it of her own free will, he brainwashed her, or if she comes home crying afterwards they can skip all that and just go straight for kidnapping, which is much more likely. They're young and stupid, and no matter what they will be found. As long as they are still alive and need to eat/find shelter/whatever, he'll need to present an I.D. at some point.

1) You cant run away from your problems

2) Running away is a cowards way out

3) You will only kick yourself later

4) You are blinded by love if you claim to do this for a woman

5) You dont know your woman until you actually live with her

6) Bottom Line -Bad Idea. Your mother gave birth to you, and this is how you repay her?

Obviously this is not to the TC, but the TC should say that to his friend :P

I cannot think this is really a good option. Being a hobo isn't a good decision.

Running away is a terrible idea.

I don't know never tried it.

if you have a place to crash then it's alright

running away would be foolish for your friend.

Given the circumstances HELL NO.

Young people make me shake my head so much when it comes to "love" and relationships. I mean they think its going to last forever and they found their soul mate when in reality they'll be lucky to last a year.

Tell him don't, but he's going to make his own choices so not much you can entirely do to help. Sooner or later he'll realize the folly of his ways.

A sophmore at my high school recently ran away with some 20 year old guy and I don't think things have turned out to well. I'm not even sure if they found her.

[QUOTE="WheresKinggiAt"] Well the parents arn't happy about it and he was planning on having her support him till he was 18 since she has been saving money up
