Things have changed. I had noticed this long before, but I am still taken by it.
I said to someone recently that kids "live under the whip". I meant the children of the well off, because of the private tutors and the pressure to do well in school.
But kids don't seem to walk to school anymore. They don't really seem to play in the streets either.
What they do is adult supervised now.
So there is fear of strangers, and I think this is grossly exagerated, and that it is not good.
But seems like bullying is greatly lessened.
I'm not taking sides here, not saying these changes are good or bad. It does though make me wonder what were the real social origins of the world which I grew up in and just accepted as normal and unavoidable.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
