If your are 17 and a runaway can you still go to school?

Answers:
Not likely. Schools and/or teachers are in contact with parents more than you think; especially if you skip classes or show abnormal behavior patterns. Likewise, most runaways are caught if the parents are smart enough to check with the school to see if the runaway is attending class. Police will definitely check the schools.

yes, I did it when I was a run away years ago.

You have to have an address, phone number %26 several things must be signed by a parent/guardian.
I guess you could use a friends address. If you use your old one they would just occasionally send things home or call if you do something wrong/great.
A PO Box MIGHT be an option, not sure.
I the person must have run away for their own reasons but that's a lot to have on ones shoulders, trying to sneak to school anonymously.

I was in your shoes not too many years ago. All I can tell you is what I was told.
To "runaway" you must become emancipated. To become emancipated, you must work a full-time job, which means that you cannot be in school. However, if you can find another approvable guardian, you do not have to be emancipated.
Be sure you are making the right decision before taking this step. Do not make the decision while your emotions have control either. Sometimes sitting down and having a mature conversation can fix things so you don't need to run away.
Good luck! Keep you head up!

Yea but if somebody reported you missing the cops will be waiting for you there.
