A Day in the Life of... Norway Why do a lot of teenagers run away from home? By Tonje The number of teenagers that run away from home has risen the last few years. What are the reasons for this? What can be done to reduce the number of teenagers that run away? In this essay, you will read about some different reasons for WHY teenagers to run away from home.

Other family problems can be alcohol, drugs and violence. We see a lot of cases where some of the parents are drinking. The drinking can lead to violence and a lot of aggression. It can be hard for a teenager to see his or her parents drink, or to be physically abused by one or both of the parents. If the parents use a lot of drugs or alcohol, all their focus will be on one of those things. The teenagers can feel that everything the parents care about, is the drugs or alcohol, and not them. Another reason why teenagers to run away from home can be problems at school. Today, a lot of children and teenagers get bullied at school. Many of them do not tell anyone about it, so they have to deal with it on their own. It is a lot of bulling that the teachers at school, or the parents do not see, so the bulling does not stop. Teenagers are mostly the people from thirteen to nineteen years old. When we are thirteen years old, we start at a new school, at least in Norway. It can be hard to find new friends at a new school if you are very different or if you are shy. It is not nice to be alone, and this can also, in a lot of cases, lead to bulling.
