I think teenagers (14 - 16 yr) runaway from home because, they feel that the have no space, parents compare them to other siblings, pregnancy, low self- esteem, peer pressure and financial wants. A lot of teenagers I realize want so many things in life based mostly of peer pressure that they depressed themselves so much that they just want to runaway. What's your views?

Teenagers now think differently than before. They think that they can do everything on their own. A lot of it has something to do with peer pressure. No matter how parents try to discipline them, when they go out of the house, they are exposed to different kinds of people. They easily succumb to what other people say to them without even thinking of the repercussion. Parents can only do so much. Let us just pray that they imbibe what their parents teach them, it is after all for their own good.
