“Then they began to lay their plans. Joe was for being a hermit, and living on crusts in a remote cave, and dying, sometime, of cold, and want, and grief; but after listening to Tom, he conceded that there were some conspicuous advantages about a life of crime, and so he consented to be a pirate,” (p. 94). Even though this story has a humorous tone to it, Tom is actually dealing with some very adult problems. Life can be brutal, especially when you are young and have little control. Have you ever wanted to run away? How did/do you deal with the frustrations of life?

I have not really ever considered running away, but I do often feel frustrations with life. One of the ways I deal with this frustration is by going outdoors to be alone. Doing this is calming to me because I feel liberated from the restrictions of everyday, and fresh air can work wonders. Even if I can't completely avoid common problems and annoyance at the failed expectations and restrictions of life, I am able to release tension outdoors.

When my grandpa was dying I was angry at myself for not spending more time with him, even though I did spend my whole life with him. There where times when I just wanted to leave and not think of anything and not be around anyone, but being around people helped me get through my sadness.

My life has been a tough one.I got through being sick, bad grades and two deaths.Because of one saying I have gotten through it all "never give up".I knew that if I tried to run away from my problems I would just get more problems and be in so much more trouble if I got caught.

I don not normally consider running away. I have had times where life has not been good to me. When I run into these circumstances I try to remember the good things that I have done and some happy thoughts. that is how I deal with having bad things in life.

I have never tried to run away but there are times when I am mad. But I do need to think about that hard things happen. There has been times when my life gets hard with school, and life.

There have not been times where i wanted to run away. but there have been hard times where i just wanted to hide and let my feelings overtake me. and people will see that and they have comforted me saying that that person is in a better place or that god is with you all the way.

I haven’t thought of running away, but when I’m upset I find ways to calm my anger. One way I clam myself is going for a walk, this usually helps keep my mind off what frustrated me. And another way is I drown myself with music, music helps me clam myself because you can find relatable lyrics. Comments are closed.
