Would it be possible to run away from the country at 16 years old?

You need a passport to leave the country and enter another one, some countries require a visa for entry so it's not something you could do at 16 years old.  Also if you run away at 16 years old your parents could file a missing persons report with the police and you'd be brought home.

Why do you want to leave the country?

As someone who holds a Green Card in the US all I can say is good luck!

I was married to a US citizen, with a baby and living abroad when I applied, we had to show we had enough money to support us while my husband found a job after being released from the army. I had to have TB tests, chest x-ray, medical exam, fingerprint check and police reports from everywhere I'd ever lived and even then they would not assure me I would be allowed into this country. After 6 months of paperwork they gave me a visa but the conditions were I could not work for the first three months.

I hope this gives you some idea of what is required.

You don't say it but it sounds like you are having a problem that you want some relief. Without knowing the problem have you considered any other options. A a 16 year old, running away sounds like you may be trading one problem for another.. The old timers use to say "jumping out of the frying pan into the fire"

You probably could try but you most likely wouldn't succeed.

You're 16 years old and bored. The solution is not run away but to face the problem, otherwise, this will be your pattern. There are a myriad of things that you could be involved with - just ask anyone around you that you feel that is successful. You will be surprised at their answers.

Get involved - reach out and help someone - do volunteer work - get a part time job - tutor kids at school - build a tree house - make rag rugs and sell them - create YouTube videos. The list is endless.
