I had those some of those experiences as a teen and was considered a hoodlum. Still, we walked everywhere, despite having no sidewalks. Train tracks were key. We found places to hide and hang out. At least we had the mall, but no matter where we were and what we did, some older person was always clutching pearls and sticking their nose where it didn’t belong. We never committed crimes - mostly, sitting and talking, but that’s “loitering” and we were obviously up to no good, I guess. Better call the cops. Bunch of kids out here, sitting on the curb, because there is nowhere else to sit, and sharing memes. The horror!

Sad that we have so many rules and so much infrastructure preventing even a crummy social life for teens (and adults).
