        What would happen if a 16yo girl runs away from home in India leaves a letter saying not to search for her and assures that she’ll be fine? If her home situation isn’t good would she be sent back? She doesn’t want to join any self-help groups or NGOs what could happen in that case?

          You will be sent back to your parents unless you have mortal danger from them.

                18 or older, then it’s fine right?

                    If you’re 18 or older you can run away from home legally your parents can’t force you to return. They may be able to trace you but if you choose not to go back you have the legal right to stay on your own. However since this is India sometimes as a girl you might still be sent back due to social pressures or other factors but legally if you refuse to go back no one can force you.

                          I don’t know this girl yet this post has me worried. Imagine what it’d be for people who know her. Can’t even talk about what it’d be for her parents.

                          Idk, if this is you or your friend you wanna ask for but… don’t do it. Not on your own, not without proper adults helping you (if it is really that bad at home)

                                        Yes, that is indeed correct, running away from home at this age is not a very smart decision at all but the way you framed your sentence as “u teens are just headache” it more so came off as you were dismissing her problems as nonsense alltogether

                                                I know it can be hard, but you have to wait until you get old enough, get a stable financial income and a place to live before you take such a big decision, do not be impulsive on your emotions right now please, try to build up skills and save up money through any freelance jobs if you are serious about it one day but for now don’t do it, Minor runaways usually end up much worse and I’ve seen too many example of that, do not make make a decision based on your emotional impulses which you will regret later please, talk to people who have been through similar situations and get advice

                                                    I just scolded her. Rather than running away from home, she should ask in what way she can improve her situation. Becuase we can’t change everyone around us, running from difficult situation is also not a good option. Rather she should try to change herself.

                                                  Good, judging someone from one sentence.

                                                      Not judging you but the way you wrote your sentence it came off as very demeaning to the OP and considering her reply I think it definitely was, I am sure you did not mean it that way but you may want to structure your sentence better next time
