Hi all. I'm hoping that the incredibly smart and well-read people here will be able to help me identify a couple of very different books from my youth. One's probably relatively easy to identify, the other one is gonna be a toughie! 1) A young adult novel in the Paula Danziger "Cat Ate My Gymsuit" oevre (she might even be the author) about a young overweight teen girl who doesn't get along with her divorced mom, and then runs off to California to be with her dad and his second wife.

Troubled Teen: Running Away - When to get your teen help If your teen has threatened to run away, don’t hesitate to talk to her about it. Inform your son or daughter that running away is not as glamorous as it sounds. Let them know living day-to-day on the streets with no legal form of income, no food and only the clothes on their back is not only dangerous, it can be deadly. If your teen is having problems, make sure you let them know how much you love them and that together you can work through the problem(s) and running away is never the solution.
Teen Runaways They are confused and following the crowd of peers making poor choices. Teens want to escape the "rules of a household" and we as parents, become their number one enemy. They feel that they are fearless and can prove they can survive without their parents and our rules. Rules are put in place for a reason; we love our children and want them to grow up with dignity and respect we try to instill in them. Their flight plan, in some ways, is a cry for attention. Many times runaways are back home shortly, however there are other situations that ...

Apparently one of her friends had told her that once you turn seventeen the police won’t look for you if you run away. So she thought she’d just pack up all of her stuff, climb ...
