Why do teens run away?

Been there, done that. Don’t really know why other than I wanted to get away from my parents but had no good plan of what to do or how to live. Having to go back and be punished was not fun. Don’t do it unless your personal safety is really at stake.

Personally, I would never run away. I have no reason to, I love my life. But I can see why some people do run away. When they have abusive parents and are neglected.

I ran away my family was just annoying and making me fustrated and mad I just had to get out of the house but really it wasn’t runnin away I came back like 12 hours later

There are many different reasons why teens run away. But mainly they run away because of their parents who verbally abuse them, or they feel really alone and secluded when they have no one to talk to. I wanted to run away once but I guess that I’m glad I didn’t.

My cousin has run away 3 times. Most people believe it’s an easy solution and don’t think about the consequences. My cousin ran away from home because he felt as though he were drowning in his problems. School, friends, family, it literally was not going too well.

But that’s life, everyone has problems. Running away only starts up more. I would never run away, the thought has occured several times but by watching other people do it, I’ve promptly decided not to. Court sessions and police involvement don’t sound fun.

No I would never run away no matter what kind of horror I am living in as long as I am safe..my point is my friends friend shes from LA and she decided to run and she never thought about the consequence ..she got raped and beaten up.. no matter how miserable a teen is I think its safe where they are then running away..

I have run away, I ran away because I want a break from everything I had so much on my mind highschool grad my boyfriend just so much so I ran away thinking everything was gonna stop for me then I could go back but it might things worst so dont ever do it

I ran away before for those reasons and mental abuse and im ok…
