Running Away
Written by Laura Reynolds
Have you ever been in trouble at home? Have you ever thought about running away from home to escape? Maybe you packed your bag. Maybe you made it down the driveway. After a while, you probably forgot why you were angry and just went home.
Unfortunately, many kids don’t turn back so soon. Running away from home is a serious and scary problem. Lots of kids decide that running away is a good idea. Kids run away for lots of reasons.
It might be that their parents are getting a divorce, and they don't know how to deal with their feelings. It could be because they’re experiencing abuse at home.
Many kids decide that running away is the answer to these problems, but it never is. The reality of living on your own is not so pleasant. Runaways usually have nowhere to live. They have no money for food and no place to rest at night. Running away gives you more problems than you originally had and puts you in serious danger.
What should you do if you feel like running away? You should try to be proactive. You can try to improve your situation at home. You can think about positive changes that you can make. You can talk to a trusted adult, like a parent, a teacher, or a coach. They might be able to give you helpful advice. The point is that running away should never be a serious option. It increases your problems rather than reducing them.

PUBLIC TRAFFIC
There is no doubt that in recent years the number of private vehicles on the road has increased significantly. This has led to numerous problems such as a in air pollution, a higher accident rate, and of course, far more traffic congestion. Some argue that if public transport played a greater role, then some of these problems might be reduced. However, the current situation is unlikely to change dramatically in the near future certain actions are taken.
There are two important changes that the government would need to in order for people to use public transport more. Firstly, prices would have to be reduced - travel by train, in particular, is not cheap in this country. Secondly, the quality and frequency of public transport services would need to be improved.
Many types of public transport are uncomfortable, unreliable or simply . In addition, more dramatic changes, such as higher car taxes or congestion charging might put some individuals driving, particularly if there was a better public transport service. To sum up, it is important that the government aim to increase the role of public transport in order to individuals to use it more. As a result, traffic-related problems might be reduced.
