We must accept and learn from our mistakes. Most importantly, we should not go anywhere without informing our parents, or something terrible may happen. We should realise that our parents would be very worried and sad if they can’t find us. Therefore, we need to act more thoughtfully and responsibly.</p><p>Tell us your thoughts in the comments.</p>
