Talking Teenagers
Hey Simmers, Wow, it's been literally 3 years since I was on the forums, no lie. I've just been getting back into The Sims 4 over the past few days, and I have a serious question for you all... ...
Forum Discussion
I agree with you OP @bethyGrace . The "teens" in TS4 are baby faced adults. They don't have much significance in the game and barely have any interesting teen-specific activities. I'll bring over what I mentioned in another thread:
What teens need:
- More shenanigans/pranks/mischief
- Influencing others or dares.
- Autonomously runs away if neglected. A temporary event - existed in TS2 https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Running_away
- Even more extracurricular activities (arts & crafts, sports, catering, science club, chess club, book club, etc.)
- Enroll in private school (children too. I also expected this to come with Discover University for an additional scholarship)
- Outside school events. Science fairs anyone?... Teen bake sale, school bazaars...
Just a few things on top of my head.

Spoiler
A teen Sim can run away from the household in The Sims 2 when the particular teen has negative relationships with the other members of the household and has few or no other friends. When a teen is preparing to leave, a message will pop up in the upper-right hand corner letting the player know. Then, the teen either walks or runs off of the lot. The memory associated with a teen running away is usually red but may also be green depending on the Sim and their relationship with the teen. While running away, a runaway icon will appear in their picture. Being gone does not affect things like school grades.
