Def·i·ni·tion

Define

noun \\\\\\\\defəˈniSH(ə)n\\\\\\\\ : definition; plural noun: definitions

abuse at home

Teen runaways take the decision to flee their homes because of abuse, but then risk being abused again because they are vulnerable.

depression

Since the depressed teen may not understand the emotions and thoughts running through him, he may blame his parents for his problems. This then leads to the false realization that being away from them will solve all of their issues.

neglect at home

Neglect happens when kids live in a home where the adults don’t give them basic stuff that all kids need — like food, clean clothes, and a bed to sleep in. When parents or caretakers neglect kids, the kids may not get baths, sleep under warm blankets, or get checkups or medicine when they need them.

Inspiration

From One who’s been there

“People rise out of the ashes because, at some point, they are invested with a belief in the possibility of triumph over seemingly impossible odds.”

– Robert Downey, Jr.
