kholoudsafir, you live in an overprotective country... That's the only explanation.
That's perfectly normal.

May be we are, but we should be, that's the bitter truth . Since the beginning of the school year I have received at least  five safety messages from my son's school about students from near by schools, who are being chased or harassed by other teens or even adults  >:(, and those students are mostly in secondary schools  . put in your mind I do not live in a bad neighbourhood, it is an average area.

Big kicks picking on the little kids. What wimps.

Do you remember how old were you when first went somewhere all by yourself, such as school? 

I always went to school alone - which was logical, as my school was 15km away and I had to go by bus. Said bus was actually public transport, but almost everyone using it was a schoolchild as well, so...
But to get to the bus, I had to walk 1km, at 7:00 in the morning. And I did so alone.
