Slowley my reasons to live are being taken away. I feel like running away and leaving all my problems behind. But I am too weak.

Being too weak to run away, in any sense of the word, means that you do want to live.
One way that I find is useful for making myself feel better about my life is cognitive thinking, it goes something like this:
My parents may hate me and I've just been dumped by the first guy I've ever loved, but at least my whole family hasn't just been murdered by genocidists in Darfur and I'm not completely alone and starving.
It seems extreme, but it makes you feel lucky.
Stay. We'd miss you if you ran away.
frankly i think that "it could be worse" argument is pretty weak. esp. when taken to that degree. obviously it's not going to happen to you, it doesn't make sense to compare. not that i'm bashing you, i just don't find that it's applicable in my life
I kind of agree that the "it could be worse" argument might not be the best arguement because yes, you can feel sorry for the people who are in danger or parents were murdered as a part of the genocide in Darfur (and yes you should and yes it should people (I'm guessing) especially those who live in the U.S or other stable and luxurious countires won't experience something like that and since pain is relative to the other things that you have felt in your life something that might seem miniscule to others could be the most painful thing you've ever felt in your life.
