Teenage Wasteland (BookRags) In Teenage Wasteland, why did Donny run away? Asked by Robin10 on 02 Oct 19:22 Last updated by Jill W on 13 Jun 11:57
Donny ran away because he didn't believe that anyone cared about him. he sought his parents attention by doing bad things because he couldn't garner their attention in any positive way. In the end.... he simply gave up.
