Question
If i runaway when im 16 and i am charged do the charges drop when im 17 or 18?
Answer
I do not understand the "charges" part of the question, but I do know that running away can be very dangerous. If things at home as that bad, please talk to a counselor at school, or someone at a church, or a therapist in your area before making such a huge decision. Sometimes there are options you might not see. Please be safe.
