Why is she calling you stupid?
I don't think your mum realises it's actually getting to you. You need to tell her that being called stupid hurts your feelings.
Running away from home isn't going to solve the issue, it's going to make her more angry and seeing as she isn't great with words, call you stupid more.
Just talk to her about it and she should stop.
Running away is a bad idea that won't help in any way.

Running away from a problem won't solve the problem. In your case running away will only cause you more grief as you are most likely still a minor. As such you will be found and brought home where mom will only intensify her verbal abuse of you.
There are a number of words in our language that are hurtful and abusive; stupid is among them. A little more information as to the circumstances as to when mom uses that word with you would be helpful in us offering you some help.
I believe that the only advice any of us can offer at the moment is to talk with your mother and tell her how upsetting it is to you to hear her call you stupid. If mom works outside the home you could add; how would she like it if her boss or coworkers constantly called her stupid.
That is how you feel and it is hateful of her to call you something she would not like to be called. If you do say this make sure you say this in a conversational voice and not argumentative as it makes all the difference in the world in how you say this.
If this doesn't help things at home, then talk to a trusted teacher at school of the school principal. Child abuse is not limited to physical abuse. Verbal abuse is just as abusive and there are procedures the school system can follow to help you.

running away is never the answer just confront her and if that does not work phone a family counselor

No, you should not run away from home. Being called stupid by your mum is not very nice but it's certainly not a reason to run away from home. Things could be a lot worse. If she is constantly being verbally or physically abusive to you, you should talk with a counselor. I don't know how old you are but I'm assuming you're pretty young. Maybe between 12-15? No one wants to be called stupid especially by someone who is suppose to protect them. A little more information about the relationship between you and your mum would definitely be more helpful as to how to tell you to handle this...how often does she put you down? Is she abusing you physically?

Your mum calls you stupid so you're going to run away from home, that's quite intelligent. Why would your mum ever call you stupid?
