I hear you. But my experiences are all very similar. There are still fights, and guns and knives being involved is VERY rare unless you’re in a bad area.

In fact, check this out, I’m in my mid 40s and I’ve never even seen a gun on anyone who isn’t a police officer or military. I’ve been in fights. I’ve lived homeless on the streets of Baltimore. I ignore annoying people.

Is my experience everyone’s? No. But the rest of the world acts like it’s some major daily problem everyone deals with over here. It’s not.
