for a bus service, look at Greyhound. for train your only choise is Amtrak

If you can't afford air fare, you can't afford Amtrak either. Greyhound bus southbound will do it. But, whatever the problem with mom and dad is, you getting on the bus to ANYWHERE IS A BAD IDEA. Give them another chance for a bit. If that doesn't help smooth the waters at home, you can still head out into the world. LA is a bad place to be heading to when first getting out in the world. Your chances for survival are pretty much nil. LA has always gobbled up young people heading out into the world for the first time. It is hard to make a go of it there without your parents help, at first. Like I say, give the folks another chance. At the least, you'll save the bus fare to spend it on something better than an 8 hour bus ride.................

well even if you took Greyhound or amtrak you will still need ID (it doesnt have to be a passport) but some govement ID (like a state ID card, (proballty even a school id with your Photo might be accpected)_ but we do wonder why your parent cant know (it gives the impression you are trying to run away and we will not be parties to that sorry
