A kid getting robbed is “acceptable?”
- retsibsi 8y ago> A kid getting robbed is “acceptable?” I agree that it's a big deal (and perhaps more to the point, in a place where this happens, it's unlikely to actually be the worst thing that happens). But I don't think Wowfunhappy meant 'acceptable' in the way you might have read it. I think they meant it is outweighed by the benefit of being free to travel alone.

I mean, the "lunch money stolen by the bully" is a trope to this day and is pretty much the very same thing like a stolen iPod. While it wasn't nice, it at least taught me a couple of things about life and gave me more confidence when dealing with high-stress/tension situations and the ability to mostly recognize them before they fully escalate.
