[b][color=92278f]"Saying and doing are two different things. Teens are about the same in many species. Sometimes they leave for a short time and are not able to handle being on their own and some back on their own. Others leave home for good. I'd say that maybe 5 percent leave and about 2 percent don't come back. They just might want their own way, attention or something new. The best thing to do is to slow the teen down and find out why they want to go. Since dragons are larger than what a normal human is by the time they are a teen, it is thought that if the teen dragon really want to go, there is not much we can do to stop them. Offer them a place to stay if and when they want to come home." [/color][/b]
