Hi! I know you are totally stressed out. Take a breath. Ok, this is what I think (you prob won't like it) So you have had a week of being "sick"
Part of becoming an adult is learning to take responsibility. Running away is not going to help at all, as a matter of fact it will increase your problems. It is tuff on the streets. Going to High School is hard, but quitting will make your future difficult.
Tomorrow morning, go talk to a school counsler. They can help you out. You are so close to finishing High School don't quit now! You can do it, only 7 months! This will go by so fast!

Running away is a natural feeling. We all feel this one at one time or another. If there's problems we'd really like to be somewhere else.
Doesn't mean that being some place would be better, it's just a feeling of escape. Even when you're in a good place, you still have these feeling.
You are so close to finishing school and you might just be afraid of it ending???? Or afraid that now you'll have to step to the plate and take care of yourself???? You may even be undecided about your future or what you're going to do next??
Running away won't solve any of your problems, unless you are in an unsafe environment. Stay - finish school - then decide what and where you're going with your life.
Remember you are not alone we all want to run away and leave everything. But then in a few days maybe ever a month or so we realize wow this is OK. Glad I didn't leave.
I am speaking from experience. I wanted to just leave everything, but because I'm a Christian I knew I couldn't. but I felt so helpless. It took a year for me to feel good, I mean really good, and the reason I was having these feelings? an allergic reaction to a medication that my doctor didn't feel was causing these problems or thoughts. Another doctor showed me the med insert sheet and I had most of the symptoms listed.
Now years later, I'm glad I didn't leave everything.

Just finish your high school year first. Then move to another city.
What are you going to do, cut and run each time something doesn't work out for you? Life sucks. Life is tough, hard and full of sh1t heads that bring you down for the stupidest thing. It's a pain in the a55 at the best of times.
You have to stick it through. if you don't like your lot in life, then do something about it to change it! Don't just wallow in your own pity. You are the only one that will help you, so you need to figure oout what you are going to do.
Finish high school and graduate. You must do that. If where you live sucks so bad, then apply for college in another state. If your grades suck, then apply for a job in another city or another state. You can't just up and go. What are you going to do for money/food/transport/staying alive? Get a job. If everything is so bad, then go to school, and go to work straight after. Save ALL your money in your own bank account that no one else has access to. As soon as you graduate, then figure out if you are going to college or work elsewhere. Make a budget for yourself, apply for other work. The internet is brilliant these days - you can apply for work anywhere.
Have you ever wanted to travel or work overseas? As you are young (most places the cap is 25), you can apply for a working visa. If your home town sucks so bad, then just get one of those visas, take only one suitcase worth of your stuff, and go to another country. If things work out great, then try to get permanent work there and stay. Or come back. your home town and house will be different after a year. if it still sucks, then go work in another state, or work again in another country. You might be able to go from one country to another without having to go home. Talk to the embassies of the various countries or just ccheck it all out online.

First yes running away bad idea secondly staying in school is probably the most important responsibility you have at your young age. School and finishing it are the stepping stones to having a good life, career, marriage etc. If you want to destroy your future then run but if you want to have one and live a happy and financially prosperous life stay everyone goes through this stage in school you just have to bite the bullet and carry on.

Running away won't help because the problem will still be there. The good thing about life is that it is a journey. Mistakes will be made and lessons will be learned. You'll look back in a couple of years and say I can't believe I thought about really running away.

Why do you want to run away? That's the first question you gotta ask yourself. Is it got to do with your life or is it that you just want to run away from your responsibilities? You should talk to a counselor or someone who'll sit down and listen to you. You need to find the source of your problem first. Because, if you keep on running, you'll never stop, and one day might just crash into a boulder to which you can't run away from like you always do.

running away is the coward's way out. Finish school. Talk to your parents, sounds like you might be suffering from depression.
