I start doing some grocery buys as 7/8 years old and go to school alone at the same age.
In medellin.
In the 90s.
Towards schools with some gang members.
Where some shootings happened (outside!).
And get mugged a few times.
After bombings 7 blocks away home.
And get to the school alone next day.
Equal as elsewhere. Now here are copying some of the unfortunate aspects of the US culture and some of my younger cousins have not idea how navigate the city alone.
Despite to be very shy and introvert, I'm certain I can get lost anywhere and find my way back home!

By the way, bullying was very uncommon, despite being the most nerd there. Now is epidemic. When kid looking at US movies I wonder when we will start to copy it.
