Tip - if any of you play the Teen runaway challenge - I suggest you don't play it until you have a decent number of teens and kid age sims in your game, if you play like me and adhere to the rules. One rule I always failed was only allowing teens to talk with child and other teen Sims in the game. Often I would fail because the game did not have a lot of teens and kids when it started unless you added a bunch yourself and the sim I had my sim talking with was not a teen after all but a YA. For me that was "Challenge over" and a failure. So I always had to start over.
So now I only play that challenge after my game is built up naturally or I have placed several families into the neighborhoods with a teen and child Sim. Often I just add a few ( 3-4) to houses in the neighborhood from either the gallery or manage households homeless listing. Otherwise I lose the challenge before it even gets started, as lonely sims won't do anything you want them to. I even tried making a teen a loner and they still got lonely anyway - but adding a few sims the right ages helps a lot.
