make sure you're independent first in every way, and have plenty of support wherever you're going or else you'll be back home sooner or later

Sweetie no. Even if it's bad at home, running away doesn't solve anything. There's no telling what could happen when you have to rely on trusting strangers to help you out.

That really depends. Would you be better fed and taken care of at home or by running away? What about your education? I can't give a strait answer to this but before deciding, you should consider how different things would be affected by you running away.

First, before you consider this, ask yourself who you would be leaving behind. Also consider your future. Will running away from home help you start a good life? Is there something at home that causes you to do less than you're capable of? Then decide. Also remember that there are people that love you. Think about that when you make your decision.

Listen, I know sometimes it feels like nobody cares. But people do care! If not your mom, dad, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmas, grandpas, etc., me and all of 7 Cups care! We will be here for you no matter what. Now, if you are in an abusive situation where your gut feeling tells you "get out before you get hurt", listen and call a hotline or 911.

Running away from home is a serious issue. Why do you feel as though you should run away? What do you think the outcome of running away would be?

No. Please don't ever do that. Running away from home is a very bad idea. You'd be running fromt eh people who love you and want to help you. Trust me, running away isn't the way to solve your problems. You have to turn and fight your demons if you ever want to be happy. It's a hard and long fight. But you can do it.
