I hate the country I live in. I hate my family, I hate my parents, my best friends all live somewhere else and I just generally hate everything about my country.
I want to move to another country alone as soon as I can but I have no idea how. Everyone says studying abroad is expensive and it'd be hard because people are racist, but I really don't care and I just can't stand it here. I'm not old enough to earn money for myself but I really just want to live in another country and be free. I just don't know how.

first you decide which country you want to go to. then contact the embassy for that country. they will tell you what passports/ identification/ immunizations/ permits/ visa's .... for the country you want to immigrate to. some are also now requiring copies of medical and mental health records to prove you are not carrying any diseases and you are not a threat to your new country.

moving from one country to another is called immigration and each country has their own immigration requirements be it for work, school or permanent residence. I can tell you from the news immigration into the USA is very strict and lengthy process. many are detained for months before they are allowed through beyond the border centers.

my suggestion is to get everything done before actually heading for which ever country you want to move to. this way your time at the border detention centers wont be that long. those that have everything in order end up going through to begin their new life faster.

Once you're in college, you can participate in student exchange program and live in another country while you study. Some colleges pay for your basic living expenses while you study at that country.

Once you're 18, you can apply for a J-1 Visa in the United States. Some corporations are willing to pay for you to come to the U.S. for a few months. In exchange, you will work for the company on their terms.

You can apply to the desired country for immigrant status from the get go. This involves such things as having a large amount of money so as to prove to the new country that you have an income to support yourself.

Or...

-You must visit first on either a visitor's or work visa.
-After six months you must return for a designated period back to your originating home country.
-Once this mandatory time period is up, you then can apply for a more permanent visa that will allow you to live in the country while you go through the procedure (generally 3-5 years) of obtaining permanent resident status.

A word of note that might affect you. Many countries require a medical. Those with a public healthcare system may bar you based on health conditions or disability.

its come to my attention that you (realbandsavesfans) are only 14 years old not an adult which my previous 2nd post was directed to........ I am now rewriting that post taking into consideration your age and how south korea works with your age group.

Im sorry but I cant in good conscience tell a 14 year old how to run away from home let alone run to another country. legally at 14 you can not leave South korea with out your parents permission, and without your parents in person proving who they are and why they are sending you to another country.

my suggestion is to talk with your parents, let them know how you are feeling. if you still feel your parents are doing things wrong with or to you, contact your National Child Protection Agency (the NCPA).

the NCPA will contact you and your parents and investigate whether they are harming you according to south korean laws. if so then the NCPA will move you to someplace else where you will be better cared for than with your parents.

Im sorry I cant help you run away from home, its just too dangerous and there are laws about this in many places including places in south korea. like parental interference, and other laws too.... Also Im a mom and I wouldnt want someone to break our laws and end up in prison for helping my children to run away from home either.

please talk with your parents or contact the NCPA.
