There are several different reasons teens run away. They are rebelling they think they want freedom because there friends may get later curfews or they think there friends have nicer parents and get to do more than they do, they may think there parents dont care about them, they could think that the grass is greener being on your own.. These are some of the top reasons. You need to seek counseling for the family and for the teen. Do not force counseling because this will only make them run faster and longer. Also, if the teen does run do not stop looking and do not punish them when they get home or they will just run again, I know this sounds like your giving in but, your not, be thankful they made it home safe. I am not saying do no punish them at all, just dont freak out on them and do the whole yelling thing and dont ground them you could make counseling mandatory. That would be a punishment for a teen who didnt want it to begin with. Being a teen is not always easy and if they are in a crowd where the kids have "easier" rules then they see that and want that. I am not saying that you are too hard, they may know one person who gets to stay out until they want to come home, to a teen thats cool and thats the type of parents they want. There are several other reasons, too many to list here.

They are not happy, they are confused. Get them to a relative for a month or three. Teenagers are funny creatures with their brains growing and their bodies growing.. it's sort of like being on a sailboat in the middle of a tsunami. It's very hard. It is better if they live with a relative they love and respect rather than being on the street. You can still pay for all their necessisties but they will be away from you. It isn't that they don't love you. It is they don't understand what is happeneing to them. It is a hard place to be. They need to be with family if possible or a good friend of the family and they need to stay in school. This is the worst time of their life but a pivotal place to be. They will be making a lot of bad decisions but this is how your grow as a teen.

Teenagers tend to run away due to a general unhappiness, mostly concentrated in severe anger or depression. They believe they can hold their own in the world. Depending on their age, they may not have considered the money issue, along with education.
Try to explain how the teen in question needs the support--at least financially--if an adult at the current time. Talk to psychiatrists yourself and gain their advice before taking the teen to see them. A psychiatrist talking to the teen may help you to identify what the root problems of the anger/depression and hence help you solve the problem.

Ask the teen where she's going to go? and is running away going to solve the problem?
the main reasons teenagers run away is because something is troubling them and they think that getting away will solve the issue. (same thing with adults, some adults drink and some smoke or gamble)

You can't really stop a teenager from running away from home. If they are unhappy and are having problems they will leave, even though once they are on the streets and see how hard it is out there they may want to go back home.

The reasons teens run are varied, but it is a plea for help that needs to be addressed. Someone needs to talk to the teen to try to find out the problem, plus the teen needs to know the dangers that are out there for unprotected teens. This needs to be done in a calm, non-accusatory manner, and whoever talks to the teen needs to really LISTEN to what the teen says, even if what is said hurts.

I have never had this problem with my teenagers.I ran away as a teenager because i wasn't shown love an the attention that many parents give to their child.
Try getting close to them now.

some children are not resilient , you should be careful in dealing with them.your behavior should be an example for them,do not use negative statements or foul words in front of them.try to correct him without entering into arguments.if you take extreme steps they try to run away from home ,thinking that will solve all their problem.

I don't think you can stop them if it's what they really want. They are searching for something inside themselves and are scared to stay and face life and there own problems. Try talking to them or getting them into therapy or a group with other teens like them.

have him or her get counseling, take them to a homeless shelter to show them the end result to running away, most teenagers runaway because they are abused mentally or physically
