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.

Too tyred...I often ran away as a kid when 'it' all became too much. I used to dream up fantasies of travelling as far as my bus money would carry me, but usually got scared that some weirdo would kidnap me for bumsex.
My favourite run away and hide place was Dutton Forshaw - a local car dealer. I used to hide in the massive stacks of used tyres they had and would eat the tomato ketchup 'survival sandwiches' I had made far too quickly. The tyres were easy enough to sleep in but lacked any warmth so I usually relented after several hours and would sneak back home and sleep in the shed.
Ran away with the Merchant Navy when I was 18 and that wasn't far enough - so I ran away to Australia when I was 27 and never went back. No more running.
