I don't think you should run away. If there are problems going on that need to be addressed immediately, seek professional help such as the authorities. If your family is mean to you in any way, try and find support in people who you know will be capable of being there for you. Even if you have a house to go to if you do run away, if you're underage make sure to check laws in your area about it, because you could be arrested and placed in juvenile detention if your family decides to call the authorities. There's also the matter of food, a more permanent place to live when the person you're staying with is unable to support you any longer, and what you'll do when you run out of options. Plan to leave, but don't run away.

If home feels like a house not a home anymore. SEEK for the thing you call home, But always remember, If you love the people that you're going to leave or if the people that you're going to leave loves you, then you should not run away, settle it, talk about it, talk to anyone about your concerns, they can help too.

Everyone feels that way. I felt that way but if I ran away who would I go to? Would I rob banks for money, steal food from stores, or even hurt someone?

You shouldn't run away, even if you're feeling down there is always hope where you are living. You should ask a trusted adult to help, even if it might be help with your problems at home

Running away won't do much. You would have to go back eventually, and then people will be mad at you for leaving them.

That depends upon the reason why you are running away from home, But I think that isn't a good decision, you can seek help from some mature friends or some support agencies to help you with. I think running away from whatever problems you have at home will not put you to a peaceful state regardless of where you'll go.

No you shouldn't.... No matter what the case is running away won't help out the situation you are having.

Running away from home will not solve your problems. All running away will do is present a whole new range of problems, some more deadly and distressing then your current ones

Stay where you are and figure out, why you feel the way you feel. Running away from a problem is never the answer. However, if you're living in a violent household, I'd say get away there immediately. If not, stay and see if you can't solve the problem together.
