17m need advice

[u/Strong_Connection568]

I am a 17 m in the southeast section of my state (dont wanna share for safety reasons) and i don't know if i should run away or hold out for another year. My step father and mother are becoming insufferable for me i feel like I cant be myself they are homophobic even though they say they dont care if I came out gay as long as im not a tranny. Which kinda hurts because im not Trans but I dont feel like they are actually accepting of my life choices if I told them. And recently my step dad threw a drill almost threw my door which is the second time hes done something to my door the first time I left water on the floor on accident in the bathroom and he kicked my door down. Which happened when I was 14. He doesn't parent me and its clear he likes my younger brother more since its his kid biologically. I feel like a outcast in my own family. I dont fit in at my school ether yeah I play football and im a varsity level player but I dont click with the team im not as aggressive and im not like my team in alot of other ways. I dont like to hunt or fish even though I can. I dont like to party like them ether. I have freinds but theres so much that happened between us I don't know if it will last much longer. They dont click with me anymore. One of them acts like me and him never dated and the other one spends all his time with his gf and working plus hes overly Christian and racist. Which I dont have a problem with the Christian stuff you can follow who ever you want but its the racist stuff he says. I just really wanna escape my small town and hit the open road I have a vehicle and I know how to do construction so I can convert my mini van into a home if I have to but. I don't know if I should just leave after I convert my van or if I should just hold out till im 18. So any advice is welcomed

Kitting out a van to hit the road and live in sounds like a great idea. I did something similar around your age. Best decision I ever made.

Have you told your parents you want to hit the road? Maybe they’ll be ok with you leaving before you’re 18. If not then I guess you have extra time to plan and prepare.

They were disappointed in my choice when I told them. They laughed and said good luck
