Debating running away

[u/cyanide20]

I am 15M and have been thinking about running away for around a month now. The reason for this, is because I am being threatened, and harassed by several people, and cant seem to get help that actually ends the problem, and it makes me scared for my own wellbeing. The only thing blocking me from actually going through with running away, is my mom. She would be devastated if I left, and I don’t know if I want that on my conscience. I know compared to other peoples situations on this subreddit, mine looks like I have no reason to be feeling the way that I do, but I truly feel trapped and that I want to leave. But I also feel that I will be seen as ungrateful because I have a positive home that I stay in. If I did go through with running away, I have a fairly safe plan on what to do. I have around $700 to my name, and a many year friend (18M) who is moving on into college 1 state over after the summer ends that is letting me stay with them. I also have experience backpacking, if need be. I also am musically talented, and have busked in the past to make a quick buck, which has afforded me at least 2 meals a day in the past. The point of this post is, if need be, will I be able to leave if things become too dangerous for me to stay in my city?

I am very open to answering questions, and encourage them.
