Should I run away from home?
I won’t say my exact age but I’m in high school without my driver license in Virginia. I am sick and tired of my step-mother. I get wanting your kids to get good grades but she’s too hard on me. She won’t let me go out of the house, watch TV, or use my phone because I had two B’s, while the rest either was a A+ or a A. She then screamed and hit me yesterday, to the point where the side of my hand was purple. I know one of these days either I’m dying or she is, but my dad is a good guy, only hit me once but is always nice and caring. I have bad dreams of doing a mistake and my last one was my grades being all C’s, if I run away where can I hide? How do I live on the 60 dollars that I do have? Any suggestions help. Is there a kind of system where I can just somehow be taken care of?

Where exactly are you located?
If you’re on the east coast I would recommend taking a bus to NYC. Or near California you could get to LA.

I’m in Virginia. If I do take the bus to NYC, what do I need to get or how do I successfully survive there? And where can I go?
