Running away

A teen (any age) can and will run away from the main household, when the teen has negative relationships with the other members of the household, and has no other friends. (Let's say this runaway is a girl and her name is Jane).

After a little while, Jane will realize that she doesn't like anyone on the lot and has no friends. There will be a message on the upper-right hand corner basically saying that she's going to leave. Then, she either walks or runs out of the lot. Her parent(s) will then have a memory icon of their daughter running away. It is (usually) red.

Then, a runaway icon will appear where the school icon for Jane would usually be. Although she is gone, this does not affect her grades.

If nothing is done about the run away, Jane will return home one day before she grows up, and I do not believe she will runaway again. If she is wanted to return as soon as possible, the parents must report the runaway via telephone. You will then have a very large chance of her being returned home by police(if not a large chance, then she WILL be returned home). If she is reported after twenty-four hours, you will only have a fifty-percent chance of her being returned home from police. If Jane is returned by the police, Jane will not runaway again for more than twenty-four hours.

To avoid having your teen runaway, make sure he or she has high enough relationships with all members on the current lot.
