Why Do Children Run Away From Home?
"The best way to make children good is to make them happy." - Oscar Wilde
It is critical that the number of youth who run away from home is increasing in a dangerous degree. Millions of parents suffer every year because their children have run away from home. They say that "it is like a never-ending nightmare". Parents are left to struggle with why their child would leave home.
Too many teenagers run away 'from' something, rather 'to' something. "Many teenage runaways leave home in search of safety and freedom from what they consider abusive treatment, whether physical, sexual, or emotional". Running away from home is usually a quick decision.
Why
do
they
do
it?
There
are
several
reasons
children
run
away
from
home.
Some
do
so
because
of
an
unstable
family
situation
(divorce,
a
death
in
the
family,
sexual
or
physical
abuse,
or
drug
or
alcohol
problems
in
the
parents).
Some
run
away
as
a
response
to
over-control,
neglect,
or
conditional
love.
Some
seek
to
wield
power
over,
get
undue
attention
from,
manipulate,
or
punish
their
parents.
Some
suffer
acute
personal
crises
like
pregnancy,
substance
abuse,
or
trouble
with
the
law.
Some
are
depressed,
and
some
just
seek
adventure
or
are
influenced
to
run
away
by
their
peers.
One problem teenagers have at home these days is that both parents may be working. Mom and Dad aren't around much. They spend little time as a family. Absence of a parent does not make the heart grow fonder. Oftentimes a runaway will complain that he or she is not loved any more.
Sometimes
the
problem
has
to
do
with
money.
They
can't
wear
expensive
clothes
like
some
of
their
friends.
They
can't
buy
tickets
to
concerts,
or
go
on
dates.
For
many
teens
economic
obstacles
are
hard
to
deal
with.
They
feel
they
are
victims.
They
believe
the
outside
world
is
better.
Some
young
people
at
risk
of
running
away
or
becoming
homeless
are
experiencing
violence.
When
talking
about
their
families,
they
describe
being
shouted
at,
sworn
at,
blamed
for
everything,
scapegoated,
hit,
pushed,
shoved
and
threatened
by
their
parents
or
step-parents.
For
some
reason,
running
away
makes
them
feel
free,
unsupervised,
no
curfew
hours,
homework,
dress
code,
eating
habits.
For
some
teens,
running
away
is
a
rebellion
against
adults
and
against
authority.
For
some
it
is
fear
of
consequences
for
something
they
have
done
(bad
grades,
taking
something
that
didn't
belong
to
them,
breaking
up
with
a
boy-
or
girl-friend,
even
deciding
they
are
gay
or
lesbian
is
often
a
reason
to
run
away.
Many of the run away children end up being very distrustful of adults or even to the point where they are suicidal.
Solutions
What
can
parents
do
to
make
their
children
stay
at
home?
One
simple
'win
over'
gesture
is
to
communicate,listen,
help,
understand
and
try
to
solve
the
problems
patiently
