Running Away? Ideas would be helpful!!?

[Jen]

So, my parents are super strict. They control everything in my life-- theyve even decided what college im going to, like i dont have a choice. In addition to that situation, I have to live at home while at college. I cant have a phone, a facebook, a twitter, or anything.In fact Id be grounded if they knew i have an account on here. i dont eveen have a job. theyve made me almost completely financially dependent on them. Ive made a decision to run away after I graduate high school. i have a general idea of what to do-- im just gonna pack a bag, leave a note, and take off. Im already looking at apartments and i have a job idea in mind. So my questions are as follows: my parents couldnt do anything legally, right? Like issue a missing persons thingy since i would be 18. and 2: what kinda stuff should i write in my note? other then "I left, Im safe" type stuff? And ive completely made up my mind on this, jst saying. It wont be happening for more than a year, considering im only 16 and a junior in school. any ideas would be appreciated! xxx
