Why theenagers run away?
the most important reasons are:

2. Sexual Abuse
3. Violence
4. Alcohol or Drugs

8 Someone is Gone.
These are problems faced by lots of kids and teens - and there areways to deal with all of these problems besides running away. Kidswho think about running away might not know how to solve toughproblems or don't have adults to help them. Sometimes a really bigproblem can make it seem like running away is the only choice.
- Nearly a quarter of all homeless people are under the age of 18.
- 46% of runaway and homeless youth reported being physically abused,
- 17% reported being sexually exploited
- 38% reported being emotionaly abused.
Unfortunately, the problems kids hope to escape by running awayare replaced by other - sometimes even bigger - problems of life onthe streets.
