Caroline was an impulsive girl and she went away from home. However, I had a thought of running away from home too when I was in Primary Four.

My memory is vague but I can still remember what happened. A glass plate was broken at the beginning and glass fragments were thrown into the rubbish bin. There were only dad and me at home. My dad saw the fragments in the bin after a while and he doubted that it was my “grate job”. Therefore, he scolded me, who washed the plate. However, I didn’t know anything about that. Why did I need to apologize? I retorted seriously, but he still did not trust me. Moreover, he thought I was telling lie to conceal a fault and punished me. I got grief and felt humiliated. The thought of leaving home arose involuntarily.

Fortunately, mum got back home at the moment and told dad that she broke the plate. After that, dad apologized to me. Although he made an apology, I was wrathy for me to be wronged.

I’ve grown up now and can solve the conflicts between my parents and me calmly. Therefore, I do not become the stupid person who wanted to leave home anymore. I think that my family is warmer than that in the past because there are fewer disputes. I want to maintain intimate relationship with parents now. I think that is the better way than leaving home and it’s the best way to avoid getting conflicts.
