This triggered something in my head. I remembered when I was younger and I wanted to run away from home, I'm telling you: I despised my family. They caused me headaches and heartaches and I felt like I couldn't deal anymore, but i promise you: life gets better and sometimes you need to stick around for the rainbow to come after the pain from the rain hitting your cheeks and then sun taunting you with the thought to run away. Hang in there anyone who wants to run away. Hang in there,

How old are you? Can you take care of yourself? Can you earn by yourself and manage building a career? Would running away solve the problem due to which you're running away? Answer these questions and decided for yourself :)

No. I have done this before a couple times actually, and it caused so much stress for my parents and friends. They didnt even know if i was alive or not they were freaking out.

Think about this first. Why would you run away from home? If it's domestic violence, call your National Domestic Violence Hotline. If not, can you talk about it here?

No. Don't ever do so. It's a huge and harsh world out there, and anything can happen to you. Your parents are working and trying to provide a roof over your head. The worst thing you could do is abandon them. No matter what happens, it's your home. There's no place like home.

Running away from home is never a good idea unless you have a valid reason and a place to stay. Before making this decision make sure you will have everything you need to be safe and healthy.

You need to do what helps you feel better. Of course, you are free to leave your home. But do not forget to think about the important things. Will you have a house, food? Will you have someone's support? Think about it and think about what you lose and what you gain. And be sure to take care of yourself.

Wanting to run away from home means wanting to escape from something, leaving something behind. It brings us into a new situation, sometimes a situation we could not assess properly in advance. Consequently more problems might come up, and also we are taking ourselves with us. Whatever internal reason made us run away, we are taking it with us, we just shift it from one point to the other.
