Are there reasons to runaway from home and Thrownaway kids?

Nowadays runaway and thrownaway kids from home are common in this society and this terms have different definitions. Runaway means according to (Dictionary, 2017): " to leave a place or person secretly and suddenly" and thrownaway means according to (Thefreedictionary,2017):"A child or teenager who has been rejected, ejected, or abandoned by parents or guardians and lives on the streets". So, the principal difference is that people who runaway make their own decision to do this and thrownaway are people who are forced to leave their home. The most vulnerable people are young people between 15 and 16 years old due they are in a difficult period where they think that the best option is the one that they have and also they don’t have a good communication with their parents to solve their problems.

Teens also run away to try to escape the fears like having a lot of problems in schools, being bullied or dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. Also the alcohol, drugs play a role in all persons running away. Remember, kids and adults run away from problems they can’t handle. It’s in our culture. Adolescents often see running away as a way to achieve a sense of power and Independence but this decision can bring different consequences like: Sexual abuse and exploitation because with no money and nobody to turn to, young runaways are extremely vulnerable to adults who might try to exploit them. Drugs and alc0ohol because often, runaways use alcohol or drugs to mask their pain and enable them to tolerate the things they have to do to survive. Homelessness because the longer young people stay on or around the streets, the more detached they become from society.

  • Parent behaviour
  • when the teenagers or adult have problems with alcohol and drugs
  • Parent education
In the position of the throwaways there is going to be all kinds of reason as to why today's society is like it. And something that at least supports this way of life, if not created it, is the avoidance of emotional pain. In this instance, these external objects and even people are being used to regulate how one feels and as soon as their affect wears off, another thing is needed to change how one feels.

During our lives, we are going to find any type of problems, some of them are going to be very easy to resolve, but there are others that we would think that don´t have solutions. Some of us have the easiest problem during our childhood, but there are others that have to through something that we can´t even imagine. So these kids just want to do one thing to feel free again: runaway. You can say that this is very simple, but if you think about it is not. There are a lot of dangerous things that we don´t know how to through them and also, live alone on streets, so if you want the solution for these type of situations, you just have to report it to someone who is an adult or directly call the police. The same if for children that are throwaways, because they just need families that really want them in their lives, and at the end, we have to think in this: “If we want kids, we are going to love them. No matter what”
