Homeless Teens
One of the key issues in the novel Can’t Get There From Here by Todd Strasser is homeless teens. There are over 1.3 million homeless teens all over the world. One out of every seven runaway young adults, (15%) leaves home before their 18th birthday. 46% of homeless teens had been physically abused before leaving. 32% is the number of runaways who have been forced to participate in sexual activities against their will. Teens that run away from a conflict with a parent or guardian is 47% or most homeless teens. 17% is the number of runaways who have dropped out of school. The percentage of homeless teens who will try to kill themselves is 32%. More than 5,000 homeless teens die from assault, illness, or suicide. There are many shelters for young adults out there, but some like Maybe aren’t sure if it’s the right place for them. Homeless teens are a serious issue and needs to be addressed immediately.
