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.

There's running, and there's running...I started running away when I was 15. Though working, saving up and going away for a while seemed to more accurately sum it up at the time, I now know that I was truly running away; from the inevitability of settled life, from my crap ‘A’ level grades, from a disastrous catering course, from good advice, well-meaning middle-class family.
It was probably the happiest time of my life. Mainly I was running away from ‘Che’ the geeky virgin mis-fit, to become ‘Che’ the independent rugged individual without a past. It worked a treat too and I’d be doing it now if lurve hadn’t got in the way twenty years ago.
Now I run away from my boring, dead-end, pointless job to join my new-found gang in b3ta-land…wait for me boys and girls…wait for me……
