If you're 18, you are old enough to live on your own, you would not be classified as a runaway. Realize, though, that life on your own is NOT an easy thing. Setting up your own place is unbelievably expensive.
My suggestion is calm down, save up some money, and then leave once you have enough of a nest egg to strat out your life on your own comfortably.
Good luck. Namaste.

You can't be reported as a runaway if you are 18 or older.

It depends on the laws of your state. Most states recognize 18 as the age of majority, several have higher ages: http://marriage.about.com/cs/teenmarriage/a/majority.htm

Usually it's 18. If you can support yourself then do it. I did.
