What is so bad about running away?

Are you kidding? For one if your running because you are mad at your parents, then you are by yourself, there are psychos, life is hard, and you can't find a place to live, food in your stomach, or clothes on your back with your imagination. On the other hand if you need to run to get out of an abusive family, then run to the police station, closet shelter, or anyone who you think will help you, to get you out of your situation.

With that said, every situation is different. I know two people who ran away from home and it was the best decision they could make. One of them was a transsexual the other was gay and both their families didn't accept them for who they were. 99/100 though, it's NOT the best decision to make. Also, both of these people made plans and knew exactly where they were going and had arrangements. Again, everyone is different. But the vast majority of the time, it's highly dangerous.
