When teenagers face overwhelming stress from school friends and family expectations, some may turn to drugs as a way to cope. While drugs may seem to provide temporary relief, they often lead to serious consequences such as strained relationships. In extreme cases, some of them feel so isolated and misunderstood that they resort to running away from home. However, running away exposes them to greater dangers such as homelessness, exploitation and substance abuse. Families are left devastated, struggling with guilt and fear for their child, while the teenager faces an uncertain future filled with instability and risk.
