There's also Emotional and behavioral aviodance.
Avoidance is a common reaction to trauma, and it can interfere with emotional recovery and healing. It is understandable that individuals who have experienced stressful events want to avoid thinking about or feeling emotions related to those events. Research with a wide variety of populations (e.g., survivors of sexual abuse, rape, assault, and motor vehicle accidents) indicates that those individuals who try to cope with their trauma by avoiding thoughts and feelings about it tend to have more severe psychological symptoms. Because the research clearly suggests that avoidance can interfere with recovery and healing, this fact sheet provides an overview of this common reaction to trauma.

When something is bad - run like heck away, yes far away.
So when someone around you tells you to do something bad or drugs or alcohol, run away and tell someone.
Avoid - or stop doing anything bad.
Go away from things that are bad, so you avoid them.
Think - go the other way when you get that "gut feeling" that things are bad. There you avoid things that are bad!
