Who holds power in my life?

I hold power in my own life. I figure that in three and a half years I'm going to have to take control of my own life anyways so why not start now and have my parents around for the decisions that are to big for a fourteen year old to take. I don't like people going around telling me what to do like they are the ones living my life. My parents also see the situation the same way I do, they believe that i am a young adult and have to start taking responsibility for my actions. They still make sure that I stay out of trouble and help me with the big decisions. Therefore I try to keep my parents trust, so I am able to go out with my friends and have fun. Although most teens that are around 20 years old and are out living in tiny houses and don't have any money are usually the ones where there parents gave them whatever they wanted and did everything for them, so my parents are just preparing me for the real world out there.

Teens running away from home.

In 2002 alone 1.6 billion children or teens ran away from home in the United States. While some argue the biggest reason for teens running away is simply that their spoiled, the most important factor is teens getting mad at their family.

Most people would just say that teens who run away are just ignorant and don’t realize what they have. Many different people could take different sides depending on what they think about this subject. Or maybe even say that their stupid and they need to deal with their problems in a different way. They could also feel as if they got them self into trouble and they need a break or they need to escape. Also, Teens could run away to feel free, or to runaway from something.

I on the other hand; say that its cause they have issues that no one, besides the other people who have been through it, can understand. Sometimes when the teens try to get help or try to tell someone it just makes things worst at home. Their parents might not take them serious when they try to talk to them about it. So sometimes the issues are just to big to deal with them self and they cant just go around telling everyone hoping things get better. The reason people run away from home is that they get angry or just cant deal with issues at home. A lot of times they get mad because there’s a lot of fighting at home. Fighting could be between parents; the kids usually think the fighting is there fault. On the other hand, they could just not like seeing their parents fight. Fighting can lead to depression, which depression could make you do stupid things such as running away. Their house could also not be a safe place for them to live in every day. Their parents or older siblings could be the abusive type of family. If their parents are abusive alcoholics then they cant do anything about it beside call the cops or run away from it, and if they don’t want to get their parents in trouble then they wont call the cops. So basically they just don’t want anyone to hit them anymore. Also, another unsafe condition could be that there does drugs and maybe that teen doesn’t like to be around. Some addictions can be abusive, for instance, there are some alcoholics or drug users that are abusive.
