Why so many children run away from home

They are many diffrent reasons why children run away. some may come from abrusive families, or poverty stricken neighborhoods.Some leave to escape a mother's death or a stepfather's sexual molestation, but many teens feel they are running away from parents who don't love them anymore or don't want them, some feel unloved and unappreciated or maybe like their family are better off without them. Surveys show that about 40 percent of homeless young people in the U.S have parents who actually locked their children out of the house. These children, often called "throwaways," may come from families who just can't deal with teenagers or aren't finacially stable enough to care for them. Although their are some teenagers that are just defiant and don't want to obey house rules so they choose to run away. What ever the case may be it causes more homelessness in our communities.
