Conclusions This presentation has shown the 3 main categories of running away and their reasons. • Most of these reasons can be avoided if we realize and accept that we are growing up and a big part of this is making mistakes. However, we need to take the responsibility of our own actions and decisions. • We are young so we should try and learn from other people’s experiences and maybe reduce some of our mistakes. We need to remember to listen to the others, as a new stage of life is opening before us. We are not kids anymore, we are facing new things and new experiences and it can sometimes be difficult to know what decisions to take. But nothing is impossible to us and if we do not run away when it gets difficult we will give ourselves the chance to reach our goals. • We need to remember that running away from responsibilities is an endless race that we can never win unless we stop and face them. •
