Court Knee,
There are just times when we feel alone. There are times when our friends don't understand, and/or are caught up in their own problems. Sometimes this is when we feel we need them the most.
It was very sweet of you to make your Mom a cake. I'm sorry the rest of the day didn't turn out the way you had hoped and/or expected.
Running away is never the answer. This is never a safe option. There are evil people in the world, who take advantage of and/ or kill teens who need to be loved, and run into the night looking for that love and acceptance.
As a teenager it is hard to accept and love yourself, when you are changing and growing up so quickly.
Be kind and patient with yourself. Being a teenager is like being a caterpillar. Eventually, you will turn into a butterfly, and fly away from home at the proper time.
Hugs,
EJ
