Probably not. I don't know what you are going through and what your resources are, so you'll have to think for yourself.
Weigh the pros and cons of staying home or running away. Will you be able to look after yourself if you run away? What kind of dangers can you face? These are just two of the questions you can ask yourself. Choose which option is the best.

Running away from your home isn't a good idea. If you feel like you've in crisis, you should try going to a friend, a relative, an organisation that may be able to help you. People would otherwise be really worried about you for no reason, or just because you decided to run away.

Your home is the safest place that you have. If you run away, do consider all aspects of life hence. You have to be on your own ... income, food, shelter, job, studies .
Do you think you're up to it ?
and most importantly, running away from home means loss of your family ... you are no one without your family ...

You should never run away from home. But yes indeed it's normal to ever want or feel the need to. If you ever feel like this maybe telling a friend or family whatever you feel comfortable with would help. Also if you feel like this maybe question if you just wanna get some space if so then ask a parent if you may sleep out. Running away is not the answer!

If I were you I'd weigh the pros and cons and talk to my family. The grass is never greener on the other side unless you home life is extremely bad.

No. Running away is never the answer. Besides, it's a dangerous world out there & sooner or later you would encounter something that you might not know how to deal with. It's better to face your demons then to run & have them chase after you.

there are alot of things to consider when doing this, i would suggest telling your family as alot of issues can arise and dont leave until you have people you can stay with or a well and stable job as well as youre own place and you are also mentally prepared to support yourself fully.

No. Life is very difficult and arduous without the support and guidance of your family, friends, relatives and others who are available for you.

I wouldn't advise that you run away from home , if you're in danger , call 9 11 but in genealogy running away could have you end up on the street being able to get hurt and in even more danger ! You'll scare your parents to death ! If you simply just need a breather , spend time at a friends house who helps you forget but also face a fix your problems . Remember them as the three F s . Face, Fix, and Forget
