All of this! ^^^^
I have seen and worked with kids in crappy situations, and have been a foster parent for just this reason. Kenzi, I could tell you stories that would make your toes curl of kids who left home to meet up with so-called "friends" and the subsequent horror that they lived through. I still work with some of these children through other programs to help others who are debating doing what you are considering. I implore you to seek help, not flight! Teen emotions make you blind to the realities of life on the street and on the run. There ARE alternatives! You simply have to ask a counselor, call county social services, someone. Help is out there.
