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.

....School in winter...I was in a fair bit of trouble at secondary school. When i was 14, out of complete boredom in a maths lesson (the subject i now teach...........!!!), i shoved some paper down the back of a really antique heater and started to watch it burn. The teacher smelt it and i was sent to the head (which not enough of happens these days! Heads are too friendly nowadays, they don't put the shit up you!)
Anyways, i was standing outside the Head's office bricking it for ages coz i knew i'd get into serious trouble so i decided to run home (about 8 miles). I set off out the main door and across the playing fields which were covered in snow. A thin cotton shirt and a nylon pullover where no defence whatsoever against the sheets of sleet which fell that afternoon. An hour later and about half way home, freezing cold (my hands were blue and my feet quite numb), my mum pulled up in her car.
The Headmaster had rung her and said I had runnawy from school so she came looking for me. I ended up being suspended for the rest of the week, which was fine because i was ill for the whole time being treated for hypothermia.
