The whole purpose of Emily's character is to show the emotions that many young teen girls experience. When you say "be normal" I think you really mean "make up your mind on who you like," but what you don't understand is that many people are confused about their sexuality, and it's good to read about a character that is relatable and many young teens can identify with. As human beings, we need to be able to help people through these struggles not tear them down because they have them. And the "point" of her running away is because she was in a situation where she wasn't accepted and it's important to find that acceptance, and so the first thing she did was run. Run somewhere, anywhere. At least somewhere where people weren't going to treat her the way you probably treat LGBT people, which is wrong. Understand the character before posting ignorant comments.
