• Shae from Vic, AusI remember when I first found this song I was about 11 it was just after my cousin died and I realised my mother was abusive, it used to be my favourite song I would listen to it whenever I ran away saying to myself “we did it, I did it” and now that I’m out of her house I listen to it and a few others when I think of what she and others did to me in that house
• Anonymous from NyI remember hearing this song on the radio as a kid and thinking it was a sign from God. I thought I was worthless after being sexually abused. It inspired me to try and keep myself safe from then on and taught me that what happened to me was never okay, and that even if the adults around couldn’t keep me safe- I was entitled keep me safe. This song hit many nerves and I’ll never forget the impact it had on me. I didn’t get to runaway as a child, I did learn how to keep the monsters at bay until I finally could leave. No child should ever have to feel like this.
• Lee from FlThere are a 11 and 12 and 13 year olds that get pregnant and alot of times from older guys who sweet talk insecure girls with daddy issues(alot of the times) and make them think they are in love... So stop treating it as it doesnt happen ALL of these things do. These are all real life situations. Just because you never experienced or met someone who has, doesnt mean it isnt real.
• Diana from Rialto, CaJohn, This song is speaking to some very real situations that are going on out there, I work with victims of trauma everyday and this is very real to a lot of kid out there. The song is not promoting running away but speaking on how many children who live in abusive homes or chaotic environments wish they could run away from the hell that they call home.
• John from Louisville, Ky, KyThis song is deceitful and wrong. Ludacris conflates the emotional attitudes of his teenage audience with the innocence and helplessness of much younger children. A pregnant 11 year old? Yeah, that's happened a handful of times in recorded history. He is CLEARLY speaking to an older audience and in some backward way giving them license to rationalize their own irresponsible behavior by casting themselves as victims. It's an affront to the suffering of real victims of abuse, thinly veiled pandering to the gullable/misguided.
• Lisa from York, PaThis song isn't promoting for those abused or neglected to run away, but to say these children feel there is no other way out for them but to runaway and to raise awareness for those in these type of situations and hopefully open the eyes of society to help those in need and not just throw them away.
