I have no idea where the people who are reading my blog are from .. BUT i will tell you I am from a semi small town in Northeast La. There a lot of space everyone to buy a bunch of crap and put it on their land.
Even with the heavy existence of technology there are still a descent amount of kids that are outside playing. Mothers/ Fathers are within sight of their children. You know everybody here usually knows everybody's business so they kids aren't too out of line in public.
In New York, I had no idea when school was in session or not. I would see see kids on the subways, in Central Park, restaurants, and walking down the street in the middle of the day. THAT AINT NORMAL.
A couple times i came across some kids who obviously went to school and was going home. They were all waiting on the subway. It blew my mind because they had to be no older than 11/12. When i was 11 or 12 the most i did was go to the mall, which a parent dropped me off at 1030 and was i had to be home by 1.
I cant imagine them taking the subway to school everyday. What about kidnappers? What if they are being peer pressured to skip school. I felt like these kids were such grown ups. maybe this is why they are so in dependant by the age of 15/16. They have had a little taste of adult hood. And they go wild.
It made me just want to hug a kid and take them home. Because at that age they aren't realizing they have all their lives to be adults . But you only have so long to be a kid. Stay and hold hands with your mommy some more.
