Its best you always tell your parents, the moment you go out, you leave a note, or telling someone you are traveling.

These situation doesn't look anything nice. You are combating its not the human factors included. That for sure the police are on each of you human faces. 

Someone telling you, they know whom you were, whom you are, and whom you will be.

Middle school.....so whom failing their 6+1, its they are still putting in the school, like those around my family? And everyone getting old, not getting tall. 

Time falls away, but the memory will stay.
