Running away means leaving home without permission and intending to stay away for a while. It's often a response to problems at home or school, like feeling misunderstood or overwhelmed. Think of it as hitting the 'reset' button on your life, but usually without a solid plan. Unlike a planned vacation, running away is often impulsive. It’s a significant decision, often fueled by strong emotions. It’s like choosing to navigate a storm alone instead of seeking shelter. Safety is key, and there are resources to help.
