i'm about this girl's age, and i know what she feels like. being a girl this age is not always easy, so what i would do is sit down and have a talk with her. let her know that she can tell you anything and that you are there for her.

By, do not let the door hit you in the butt on your way out!
When our oldest boy was 14 he did that crap. Let her go and when she figures that no one out here is going to take her whining and bad attitude she will come home.
Make dang sure if she goes that her and her friends don't rip off your house! More then likely the cops will bring her back home. This is what happened to us. You can not tell teenagers anything, they no it all......
Oh for heavens sake! Peeps I am sure they talked with there kid! Rebellious kids are just that! They want everything there way or they are going to run away, after threatening, let them go. Can not keep them locked up, they will call the cops on you, the parents! If she is getting hurt at home, Du this question would not be asked.....Shakes my head at some of these answers.......
I guess next time a question like this is asked maybe put only parents of today's no it all teenagers......

First of all, you need to find out why she is running away! Is she being abused in ANY way? You may no want to believe something like that, but there has to be an underlying reason for her to leave. Sit her down, with a neutral 3rd party, and ask questions. But, don't only ask questions---LISTEN to her answers, LOOK at her movements, pay close attention to all of her body languages. Running away is a cry for help and attention, has anything changed recently, new friends, new stepparents? How is her schooling--has it gotten worse lately?
It has to begin with you though, please know that there is only 1 person in the world you can control--that is YOU! You can influence others but you cannot control them or their behaviors--
For example my 15 year old son told me after I wouldn't let him do something (it was a heated discussion) that he hated me & I was a terrible mother! I was so upset, but I simply responded that I was sorry to hear that, but I would always love him no matter what. It put him on the spot to respond to me, needless to say, he was speechless, normaly I would have jumped off the shelf, but this response got the reaction I needed out of him. Anyway, my point is you need to listen to her and look at the bigger picture, there is a sign there, you just need to find it. I wish you all the best and good luck.

You have to be more specific.Is she being bullied at school , at home by other siblings, is there domestic violence in the home,
is there a boy in the picture, there really is no one answer to your question, is she on drugs, alcohol, etc. ? Sit down and write down everything you remember happening prior to her running away, were there warning signs? Try to see her school counselor, she can not tell you what she has been told by the 14 year old, it is privileged info, but she can give you better advise what to do then you find here.

If she keeps running away, she's either not happy at home or she's having a secret relationship with a boy. The girl needs counselling to deal with her issues, and the parents need to seriously talk to her about why she keeps running away and what can be done to improve matters.

You call the cops so that they can bring her back. But then you must determine the root of the problem to eliminate the cause. Is this girl doing it for attention, where is she going? What does she do when she runs away. If you are trying one method of discipline and its not working, chances are its time to change. Let her know that you love her and if she is running away perhaps because someone in your home is hurting her, let her go.

You need to find out why she keeps doing this.
Teenagers all have some issues but running away is dangerous.
There are counselors who deal in just teenagers and their family...I would find one before something really bad happens .

You work on finding out why she is running away and address the issues. May work, might not. But that's a start and you did not give us much to work with.

when i ran away , i did it to get away from a smothering, over baring mother, to just have one wonderful night of being a normal kid. until all my friends had to be home then it sucked. but anyway find out whats wrong with home and why does she need to get away so bad. its always home life
