====The song runaway love talks about a lot of different situations children get put into. By putting these issues into a song I think it really helps raise awareness about these things. Children should be loved and cared for all the time but a lot of things talked about in this song are ignored or pushed to the side, such as being beaten, raped, neglected and raised in a house full of drugs and alcohol. Music is a good way of getting people to realize some of these issues, just talking to people doesn’t get around as well as when you add a beat and rhythm to it. I believe this song not only raises awareness for young girls in these situations, but it also makes the girls feel less alone. I disagree with the song telling them to runaway. However I think Ludacris and Mary j. Blige are just using that because there is really nothing else children in these situations can do. I think this is a beautifully written song and i'm sure it has reached the hearts of many people.====
