Each year many teenagers run away from home. What can cause a teenager escape from their family? Isn’t the family supposed to mean a strong relationship based on a lot of love and care? If it is so, then why sometimes this is not enough to solve a problem? And is the escape solving the problem? Escape from what, actually? I think we should all consider this questions very serious, because usually runaways are not born runaways – according to specialists such a desision could be taken very suddently. There are many explanations about that, but they all come to the same problem – the teenager does not feel loved any more. When there is a serious problem we all become worried about the future and search for our friends’ support, or parents’ support – we just want to know that someone’s gonna stand by us! If a relationship between parents and children don’t give enough love the teenager considers that the greatest evil ever existed! If we don’t find love from our friends or boy/girl – friends then we find others, but can we change our family? Teenagers who doubt they’re loved enough think that if their parents don’t love them then they’d never be loved by anyone and this is a situation that is impossible to cope with, that’s why so many teenagers run away. What I think about this? – I think this is all parents’ fault! Usually I claim that we all should stop and think before saying something is good or bad, and this view point is just one or two little steps from a Relativism(but I know where’s the boundary), but about this problem I consider parents entierly guilty!!! The most serious problem about a person who is just knowing the world is to find out he or she can’t be loved! If parents don’t show enough love – they’re idiots! That’s what I think! If they love their kid but don’t know how to show that to him - their idiots too! And I intentionally use the word idiots because it reviels my disgust at such parents. Before sitting down in front of the PC i thought there may be reasons that may cause an escape but don’t depend on parents, but now I really believe everythink depends on theп. For anything the kid feels he cannot cope with – he or she is unsure and feel no support for that problem – and where should that support come from mainly? So, the problem about not being loved enough could cause a psychological reaction to teenagers’ experience at coping problems

Az sam za escape from home,but I see the escape in my own way.I escaped from home after graduating school,but not just take some money and go somewhere, but found a job and rent a room in Haskovo. I have my own money, I live alone, I see my friends when I want(not as before to give explanations for everything) and I feel great.Sometimes I go to my village but just to see my brother, because I miss him and my best friend, because I can’t see her often in Haksovo.A 6to se otnasq do vinata na roditelite smqtam 4e ima mnogo lo6i roditeli,no i mnogo neblagodarni deca.A dali dobrite roditeli sa vinovni za neblagodarnite deca-ami vse o6t neznam..

there were a lot of times when I wanted to run away without thinking what will I do when I run away.However I stopped and thought about how much chances I had to get out of home forever if I do it when it’s most approriate
So for me just to run away without thinking is not a decision!

You are absolutely right abou that!
And that shows you’re a strong person. It would be nice if all teens were like you – can you imagine what they do and where they go after they run away 
That’s sad But it can also have its strong points, I don’t know…

ungrateful children? well, there are not ungrateful children. there are misunderstood parents. sometimes parents love (ot believe they love) their children, but they cannot express their love in a way that can be understood by a child, so there’s problem with communication.
you could say parents shoudl find a way to communicate with their children, that they should be their children’s first teachers of communication, and if they fail, it’s their fault, and mimeto should be disgusted and call them idiots.
ok, they might be idiots, but calling them idiots does not solve the problem. it does not even explain the problem. well, think – why are these parents such idiots? how could they be changed? how could parents be prevented from being idiots?
i think parents should be taught too. by whom? think!

It depends on the parents’ characters and personality! Someone may consider it very important to make a wonderful person out of his kid, but ohters may not have such a value. Some may consider it very important to create such a communication, learning and love atmoshpere which you discribe, but opthers may not find it necessary

it depends on their education and upbringing too
February 25, 2007 at 9:34 pm
Yes, you’re right! Well as Aleko Konstantinov said “Different people – different values”

Blame, blame, blame……why does it have to be anyones fault…maybe it was a series of events that happened…..a divorce, death in the family, school stress, breaking up with a girl/boy friend…teenagers have a lot of stress and they are growing up in a society that is messed up in it’s beliefs and morals…no wonder these kids runaway and live by their own rules. We all make our own choices and just because a kid runs away doesn’t mean that he/she is not loved or shown love. I hope you all that think its all the parents fault, never have a child runaway….. I have….he came home after 5 days but I can tell you for sure that my child has always known that I love him and I have no problem showing that I love him.

there are really good reasons for running awayy. its a better resolution than suicide. i think one good reason could be when your betrayed by your friends and it seems like everyone at school is your enemy. its not just a family issue. for example, my family is great. i just hate my school. i want to run away. :/
