As a kid I didn't even know where my friends lived. They materialized in the morning at school and then vanished afterwards. I wasn't allowed alone outside until I was a teenager but by then, anywhere worth going was miles away and I didn't have a car so...

that sucks. I'm old enough that we just wandered all over the place and as long as we made it back before dinner (that sounds so stereotypical) no one really noticed or cared. And I grew up in a place where there were bears.

It's funny because my parents grew up on a ranch and both have stories of like, getting chased by coyotes or maiming themselves on farm equipment or almost-drowning in a ditch. They overcorrected imo but there's also nothing to do in suburbia so I can't blame them
