does anyone know if its possible for a 17 year old to buy an airline ticket w.o. a parent consent form? I'd like to go visit my family in oregon and my parents arent all gung ho about it since there's been some rather angry words recently.
Someone told me that alot of the times if you look older they wont ID you. I look about twentyish so maybe i'll just go and see if they card me. i dont know lol.

oh i dont question or try their authority at all... and i know they have a right to tell me what to do and what not. Its just i havent seen my family for a couple years now except for my uncle.
I dont want anyone getting the impression I'm trying to rebel against them..I have never felt the need to go through that stage like most teenagers do for Ive always had a great and supportive relationship with them.
Thanks for the in put though little and thanks for fixing my account!
I also think that if there has been some angry words and your Parents were effected than respect that, they need "blood" support, that of their own child, knowing that their own child may not agree and may wish to do something as an alternative, but respect what they feel.
Nothing to do with parent and child, rather unity and family uniting.
You can write to them, phone them, email them, and in a year, you can make your own decisions.
But, think on the above, outside the square of child/parent, rather feelings of people in your family and their reasons.
Just thoughts there.

Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
It doesn't happen over night
if truth were to be told.
Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
you must believe!
I totally understand. I guess that makes more sense and I'd hate to upset them a ton. I'll try talking to them again about it if not I'll see if the fam could maybe come down here for a week or something.
Thanks.
if i am not mistaken, they do ID. especially with the 911 incident the security should have gotten better. i know by me they do ID.
as for 17 and possibly running away, i think that may happen to be true but then again i am not a person who knows all the laws. Your parents can make an issue i am sure. even if you tell them where you are going.
in my opinion i would just bug them and explain why you want to go. you may not like what they say or the reasons but they might understand you if you explain things differently or bring up good valid points.
your business is yours and you do not have to tell the story of what happened or what was said but you have to understand them as well.
listen real carefully here ok........... we have all gone through what i am going to tell you.
we all wanted to do something, go somewhere etc at our young age and our parents told us NO. we dont understand why they did that, but they have good reasons most of the time. they went through it themselves. and you will see when you get older that parents may had been stricked, tough, unreasonable, not understanding etc, but they were right.
my mom had alwyas had a story for every sitsuation any of me and my siblings went through, it was weird. but as i grew older, i see how it can happen. and with my nephews and friends kids, i see it more also. they ask, cry, beg and plead and even try to make deals, and it all looks familiar and i laugh time to time as i was just like that at certain ages. its too funny looking back at it now.
again........... just talk rationally with them and bring up valid points and maybe they might change their minds. you will never know what tomorrow brings.
