Where does a girl like Margo actually end up?

I think her life would be much like Forrest Gump's Jenny. She would come find Q every once in a while when she needed to, then split again.

Girls like Margo actually ends up ALL ALONE - Period!

Running away from home overnight is quite easy but having to fend for yourself at that age is a whole different story altogether.......can't help wonder though whether the parents are also to blame for this scenario.

However, in the movie I was hoping he would bring her back home and they would end up having a family of their own.........what a disappointment:(

Honestly I think people like Margo end up quite lonely. Just look at how the character behaved. She was completely selfish throughout the entire film. She didn't care about the poor kid at all. She didn't care that her friend was innocent, just wanted to get her form of justice out no matter what. She didn't care about anyone and just disappeared without a word. What relationships do you think someone like this could cultivate?

I'm surprised she even had a boyfriend at the beginning of the film. How would someone like this hold a steady relationship? Want me to allude to the film now? I think people like her end up with all of these moments and memories that have no meaning behind them. Paper experiences if you will. She has nothing to hold on to. It's quite funny to me that she made fun of Q at the beginning for wanting to get a real job and a family. What's wrong with that? A job could be something he loves to do and gives him a purpose. A family is something good in your life that also gives you a purpose.

Margo is alone. She alienates everyone. The kid went all the way there for her after years of longing and what did she have to show for it? A kiss and an express bus ticket back home. Even when someone comes looking for her she pushes them away. What a miserable existence.

Where does a girl like Margo actually end up?

There have been some good responses here, particularly those that highlight there might be underlying issues or an attachment disorder, and what would a young women in her thirties do if she had no solid foundation for a well paying job or career? In a Western affluent society, money is a means to survival. I would also suggest that if there are underlying mental issues, that she might not make the best or most realistic decisions for herself.

Unlike her peers, the story did not highlight that Margo had many redeeming features or talents, except that of remaining "mysterious", and being "cool" in which she later admits to. Oh, she was creative to a certain extent, with her clues I guess. Physical appearance will only take you so far, especially as a woman.

Hopefully, Margo would have the common sense to return home after her escape and see it as a "sabbatical". If not, she might have got lucky and thought of a business idea, or found a niche to work in that would pay > minimum wage. Social connections are important, as they keep us 'protected' to a certain extent - by making us feel valued and physically safe. A young woman, in a strange town, with no social connections (we presume) is putting herself in danger in other ways too.

Who knows what would have happened to Margo. I have a feeling that somebody who is prepared to leave everything without an obvious plan (except to "vanish into thin air the day after graduation"), no financial resources behind her, presumably no social connections in her new town, and no real education, would not fare well, unless she decided to get real and get some common sense.

I had the same question coming up in my mind. Where will she end up?
I am just glad we didn't see her either as 40 year old housewife, with two kids and a husband, or as a drug addict, failed actress living in a tiny apartment.
However.. you can't live as a teenager for your whole life.. This kind of behaviour might be charming and interesting when you are at your early and mid 20s, but doesn't everyone eventually have to just grow up? I think this kind of people turn up to be extremely distant and loneliness seekers, in spite of the amount of people surrounding them at younger ages. Personally, I would like to think of Margo as an artist, a writer maybe, living in the countryside.

I think they end up mostly the same places as everyone else. They may end up going to college/University five, ten, fifteen years later, or stumbling into a career they love, they may write about their experiences, or do art based on their experiences.
There are definitely drawbacks to their way of living, but if they're interested in it, they can always go back and do the "standard" college/career/marriage/kids path if they choose. But they also probably get a lot of benefits too, such as seeing more, experiencing more, and being able to find jobs they truly are passionate about.
Of course, there are likely many who end up in unpleasant conditions, alcohol and drug abuse, etc., but so do people who go to college at 17/18
