The main reasons why teenagers leave home
Unhappiness in the family
Domestic violence, parents who lead an antisocial lifestyle, malnutrition push teenagers into the street, where they can get rid of all this. Usually in such situations, children leave constantly, as soon as it becomes too difficult for them to endure. They spend the night in basements or at street acquaintances, early acquainted with alcohol and drugs.
Fear of punishment
Having received a bad evaluation or did not meet the expectations of parents in the exam, whose children are very much abused or exert psychological pressure in the family, wanting to avoid it, they find a way out of not returning home.
To prevent such a turn of events, no matter how parents would not like to have an excellent child, we must always repeat that they love him with any assessments.
Love
Unshared love or prohibition of relationships is one of the most common reasons for leaving children in adolescence. At a time when they react very strongly to all because of hormonal adjustment, parents should support, explain, but in no case do not ridicule and forbid the feelings of their child, even if they think it's too early.
A child contacted a bad company
Contacting a bad company, a teenager, in order to be accepted into it or under its influence, in search of forbidden entertainment, can leave home. To prevent this, parents should establish a trustful relationship with their child and know who he communicates with and closely monitor changes in behavior.
As a protest against the hyperope
Usually, at the age of 13-14, adolescent children seek independence, and their parents are not always ready to provide them. As a result, there is a conflict that can lead to leaving home in search of freedom. Most often the child goes to friends or just turns off the phone and wanders around the streets.
To attract the attention of parents
This situation is typical for both disadvantaged families and well-off if parents do not pay attention to
All these reasons are associated with the psychological characteristics of adolescence: the emergence of a sense of self-adulthood, hormonal maturation, maximalism, etc. And in order to prevent withdrawal from the family, parents who have children in adolescence should reconsider their communication with them, begin to reckon with their opinion, support them more and respect them as a person.
