“ran away from home”

I was physically and emotionally abused by family members, and later engaged in self-destructive behavior like ditching school.

What I wish I knew
"how to seek help and stand up for myself earlier"
If I could tell you one thing
"don't be afraid to speak up and seek support when you're being mistreated"
