#i am just incredibly disgusted by the glamorization or the lack of tact taken when a child says they want to run

I just wanna put this since ive never said this and feel strongly about it. I do not encourage or condone the act of minors running away from home. I think running away from home and cutting ties to family is an extreme reaction that is absolutely necessary at times. I found it necessary for me. I also think the threshold for it being helpful is extremely high because it carries a low rate of success (my measure being: living in a better situation than your previous one/not enduring additional trauma along the way). It’s incredibly dangerous to promote the idea that is it a solution when it is not. It is, at best, the lesser of two evils.
