If you just can't handle being at home anymore, be creative and find a way to make it through. Instead of planning ways to runaway...plan ways to cope for a few more years (I don't know how old you are so no idea how long we're talking about here). Get a job. Play sports. Volunteer. Keep yourself out of the house as much as possible. Do your best to fly under your parent's radar (if that's possible).
Life is hard enough to get through without every advantage you can beg, borrow or steal. Running away will put you an a VERY narrow path in life.
That's kind of what I meant, albeit in the most circuitous fashion imaginable... yeah
EDIT: Pleasure's all mine, JQ!

OK I think you should start with the why you want to run away portion first. Then we'll all be in a better position to offer advice. Also how old are you? I can't imagine the streets being very safe for anyone. The younger you are the more of a target you'll be.
You're doing some planning which is good, but I think taking some time to earn some cash and get to a point where you'll be able to afford an apartment would be a good place to start. Nothing wrong with getting out on your own, but you want to set yourself up to succeed first.

Kinda like an old Blues man passing on the last of the true mojo bags. I don't have a plethora of it, but it is yours for the taking. Good luck and HAVE FUN!!!

ADD: A song for the morning. Cute with one slightly messed up spot toward the end:

Have you heard of 'The Men They Couldn't Hang'? I think you'd like them.
Sort of folk-punk-protest song-lunatics.

I don't know. Some crazy MF can't determine whats what on the gorram keyboard sometimes.
HUGS!
Got a quote for y'all: "...and then you can kiss her neck, and the suck this and suck that and lick this and lick that and you can, you can actually feel the prophecy of a woman being sexy, what's called a sex object and a sex tool and a fine scandalous romantic most moveable object that a motha fucka couldn't even get if he didn't have a motha fuckin' woman."
-Russel Jones AKA ODB from the documentary Dirty Minded
Urban philosophy that can be communicated to all men.
ADD: Wish I could make it Neko. Suckage. :(

ZEEK! *hug*
LF: MsB, Rugbug, Zeek, and JQ said it better than I could've: Running away from home/moving out before you're able to support yourself puts a person at a HUGE disadvantage.
Other suggestions -- since you're still in school, do you have a friend whose parents that you get along really well with (and your parents trust)? Could you stay there for most of the time in the afternoon/evening? A youth group/activity center that is teen-friendly and safe? (I'm guessing that the problem is general friction with parents.)
I'd also suggest talking to an adult you trust -- teacher, counselor, youth group leader, relative, friend's parent...someone who can provide some insight and other assistance.

Lighter notes:
JQ -- I don't know where you live, but I know that there are no scorpions in my bathroom...so the comment about the scorpion made no sense to me at all.
MsB: Friday is my last day there (I have a flight later in the evening) so if we can finagle the time to get together. *finger crossed*
FMF: As much as we don't see eye-to-eye, you're getting to meet what sounds like a truly great man. You're smart, you're gorgeous, you'll charm the socks/pants/clothing of your choice off of him...
*deep calming breaths* got to remember that the kids are in "spring break" mode...
*sneaks over to the ninjakitty and gifts a shiny properly chilled can of 'Dew and one of the two ice cream sammiches that were 'liberated' from the Bar and Grill* (The other one's for me.)

Hi Neko. How's it going? I thought you were on spring break already but you mention the kids. Is this the last week before break for you?
