Running awayTwo friends ran away from boarding school. They didn't get too far though - they forgot to check when the last train ran. A teacher found them sitting waiting and drove them back again.
That said, it's not just a thing kids do - the urge to just run is built into all of us. Tell us about the times you've given in and run.

No going backMrs Grimdsale (name changed to protect the innocent) ran away from home in 1984; that was the year I met her. Since then I’ve met her mother just twice and one of her six siblings just once. She left with a couple of bags after dropping out of college and finding a job and a bedsit. She did have a very good reason though, her Dad had got out of prison and her Mum let him come round for Christmas dinner. When Mrs G refused to come out of her room she was told she was spoiling Christmas. It was her that prevented the same thing happening to her two little sisters that had happened to her.
Sometimes it’s right to run away. Sometimes she’s tempted to get in contact to see whether the old bastard is dead yet, but she hasn’t bothered yet.
Sorry to bring you all down, but we’ve had 20 happy years (for the most part) and have brought up a healthy happy daughter. THIS is home: where the heart is.
