Oftentimes they've been sexually abused. Or they run away, and a pimp gets them off the streets and protects them in exchange for selling their bodies, which is a terrible existence. If they can get off the streets soon, they can get back to a real life, but after a couple of months, it's really difficult. Very sad.

three major reasons
1- new trend- teens are having sex or preforming oral sex for shopping money. this is happening in middle class neighborhoods.
2- run aways- children who run away from home have to find some income to buy food and shelter. they only have their bodies and the clothes no their back
3- forced prostitution- step parents, foster guardians, and even biological parents have forced their kids to prostitiue themselves for money. there have also been cases where a significant other (normalyl a boyfriend) makes his girlfriend have sex with people for either money or other exchanges (IE boy gets help from a friend and that friend gets to have sex with boy's girlfriend)

****************************************************************
Causes and Context
Children are often pushed by social structures and individual agents into situations in which adults take advantage of their vulnerability and sexually exploit and abuse them. Structure and agency commonly combine to force a child into commercial sex: for example, the prostitution of a child frequently follows from prior sexual abuse, often from the child's home.
The prostitution of children is usually conducted in particular environments, such as from brothels, or bars and clubs, or homes, or particular streets and areas (usually in socially downtrodden places). Sometimes it is not organized, but often it is, either on a small scale through individual exploiter-pimps or on a larger scale through extensive criminal networks. See organized crime.
Children also engage in prostitution, however, when they exchange sex outside these environments and in return not only for basic needs such as accommodation, food, clothing, or safety, but also for extra pocket money for desired consumer goods otherwise out of their reach.
Some children are prostituted in conditions that appear otherwise perfectly normal. Enjo kosai, a practice reported in Japan, is sometimes considered an example of this. However, this latter practice is by definition voluntary rather than via manipulation.
Living and working conditions for children that are prostituted are frequently substandard. Such children are commonly poorly paid or unpaid, kept in unsanitary conditions, denied access to proper medical care, and constantly watched and kept subservient through threat of force. These threats may be physical or psychological in nature.
While some sex tourists use children involved in prostitution, it is likely that the majority of their 'clients' are locals.
