The life of Marilyn Monroe is one that shows a lot of struggle, independence, and pride, but also pain, addiction, and immorality. Many people have analyzed this actress, relating problems in her life to her childhood, and giving psychological viewpoints on why her life took the course that it did. One person who never analyzed this famous icon was Sigmund Freud, who would be able to shed a great deal of light on her life and problems.

Only seven percent of teen runaways are currently staying in homeless shelters in their area. Teenagers that are desperate will do almost anything to get what they need. Fourteen percent of teen runaways have used their body for sexual favors in return for food, money, drugs, or a warm place to stay at night. However, most teens do not have intentions of doing things of this nature when they run away.
The article is also based on an observation by journalist Harriet Sergeant, who spent 1 year discussing with gang members and found out that those who lack a male figure in the family whilst growing up had more conflicts and chaos at home meaning that most of them were misled and not warned about consequences of any actions.
