Because they can spend months going from friend's house to friend's house -- literally human pinballs. We do have a shelter for such teens in my city, but it's often at capacity. They are building a bigger one. What's saddest are the cases where the parents have tossed the kids out of their house, for whatever reason. As a parent, I really can't say that there is anything any of my kids could ever do that I would put them out on the street.
