Less has changed except y’all (me too) aren’t kids anymore. Kids today still deal with shit and have to get tough in their own ways. More subversively too not because they want to but because there’s watchful eyes looking out only for the obvious. [it’s easy to spot knives and cigarettes and fist fights].
So, kids today have to get smarter, more subtle, in ways out of the watchful eyes of those who deem themselves Noble Protectors.
If you think it’s no longer tough growing up, you’re not looking hard enough.
