* ''Anime/GraveOfTheFireflies'': Seita chooses to leave his aunt's house alongside his sister, Setsuko, because his aunt has done nothing but demean them ever since they moved in after their mother's death. {{Deconstruction}} then hits; Seita and Setsuko are still children after all, and they now have to fend for themselves in 1945 Japan, where even adults struggle to get by. Many characters advise Seita to just suck it up and go back to his aunt, since they will at least be fed, but he refuses. DownerEnding ensues.
* Miyuki from ''Anime/TokyoGodfathers'' ran away from home because she couldn't face her family after stabbing her father out of anger.



* ''WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio'': After making Geppetto furious for piling up problems, mainly needing to pay [[RepulsiveRingmaster Count Volpe]] for his freedom and the Podestà ordering his recruitment into the ChildSoldiers program (which especially distresses Geppetto due to him having [[WarIsHell lost his original son to war]]) to [[JustThinkOfThePotential exploit his immortality]], Pinocchio decides to run away from home at night and go join Volpe's carnival, to avoid the army and to earn money for his father and prove him that he is not a burden.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': It was not until "[[Recap/AmphibiaS2E36TrueColors True Colors]]" we found out how [[Characters/AmphibiaAnneBoonchuy Anne Boonchuy]], [[Characters/AmphibiaMarcyWu Marcy Wu]], and [[Characters/AmphibiaSashaWaybright Sasha Waybright]] came to Amphibia. In the beginning, Marcy receives a text from her dad asking her to return home after finding an entry in a book about the Calamity Box. Her parents told her that her dad has a new job out of state and that they were moving. Marcy ran away upset when she found the Box at the Pawn Shop. Near the end, the girls found out Marcy knew about the box all along and believed Andrias when he said he would take the three of them on adventures. Marcy did all this because she wanted to runaway from her dad.
