Or maybe the teen decided to run from home and go live with his uni friends in a dank abandoned warehouse. I can play as him or as his worried parents, making up stories as I go, cheating moodlets if need be. Even my happy wholesome households always have something that can go wrong, like keeping a perfectly fine couple child free because they cannot have a child no matter how hard they try and they cannot get accepted for adoption.
