    Teenagers often run away from home due to problems they want to hide, such as drug or alcohol use, pregnancy, or sexual orientation. Abuse in the family can also cause teenagers to feel unsafe and prompt them to run away. Family difficulties like divorce, stepparents, arguments with parents, lack of communication, or feeling misunderstood contribute to teenagers running away. Peer pressure may also encourage teenagers to run away to avoid reprimand for mistakes or problems.
