I thought this post was interesting, because it was interesting to see how people define "runaway."

Myself, I grew up in foster care and ran away alot, especially when I was 12-14. I lived in friend's houses, in abandon buildings, and in the woods by the lake. For food, I ate in shelters, stole, or grabbed food out of the trash (you should see the stuff resturants throw away)

When I was 15, I got caught and returned to foster care. At that point, I decided i needed to finish school or I would never make it. I stayed in FC until I aged out and finished school...

I hate when people say awful things about homeless people ~ very few people would choose to be homeless. They are homeless for a reason, like mental illness, abuse, etc. They need help and support, not hate.
