[quote=Anonymous]I think it really depends on the kid. When I was 12 or 13--and was in the throes of emotional preteen crap--I would yell "I'm running away!" and run into the woods behind our house. I brought literally nothing with me, so clearly I wasn't actually planning on running away. I would come back after like 20 minutes. Now, my uncle has major mental health issues and when he was 14, he cashed in a bond his grandfather had given him and got on a plane to California and bought a gun. My grandma miraculously found him on Sunset Blvd. So yeah -- depends on the kid.[/quote]
