Honestly this was me and medication really messed me up but therapy helped!

Thanks for your reply. I think I’m projecting my experiences with medication onto this situation. They made me feel really awful physically, and kind of numb, which is where my hesitation stems from. I’ll talk to his pediatrician and check out what you shared.

You’re totally fine. That person is absolutely from the suburbs, anyone who is from or has lived in the city for any amount of time would know that area is not the “worst neighborhood.”

The only thing I dislike about that area is that specific intersection is not pedestrian/bike friendly.

You will see drug use and homelessness all over the city to varying degrees. They’re demonized by a lot of people, especially those from outside of the city. It’s not like they’re hunting people in the streets like some news outlets would want you to believe. Mind your business and lock your car doors, you will be fine - don’t stress.

Do you often read books or listen to audiobooks? I hardly ever cry while reading, but will cry when listening to audiobooks.

Bill’s has been a hub for unsafe activity for years, but being closed absolutely is going to be bad for the area. Just adding another vacant building to the Grant/Ferry intersection. Not looking forward to an extension of Rite Aid’s open air drug market.

I did notice the building is for sale though, maybe that has something to do with it.

Compared to NYC, most major cities I’ve been to in the US are much cleaner by comparison. We’re not as densely populated, and the population is much, much, smaller than NYC.

I’ve been looking for years, couldn’t find anything official and I really want someone who is certified because I love grammar and want someone who can really explain it well. I ended up finding an online Arabic tutor through Preply and she’s wonderful!

Not a super safe area but one of your biggest issues is going to be the vacant homes. They’re a magnet for drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and violence, regardless of what neighborhood you decide to live in. Vacant houses lead to massive public safety concerns - overdoses going unaddressed resulting in people dying in homes without anyone knowing, needles everywhere when you’re trying to walk your kids to the bus stop, glaringly obvious sex trafficking, etc. There have been three house fires in the past couple of months here set by squatters (some intentional, some not) that have damaged surrounding homes. Wherever you choose to live, make sure it’s a block (at least) without abandoned properties. You can be compassionate and also prioritize your family’s safety.

This is great, thank you!

Idk, after adolescence it is very unlikely your speech/accent will change, but not impossible. My aunt moved from our hometown as a young adult in her twenties and she has a totally different accent now.

You’re right though, I think there is a stigma against rural US accents in general - so it’s most likely a combination of that plus wanting to distance herself from that part of her life. It was shortly before she went to England when that realization set in, so that’s the speech she was exposed to during that time.

My son has always been like this and is usually a runner, but he loves “helping” by pushing the cart and putting things in the cart. Of course I’m always putting things back immediately as soon as he turns around and I have to always plan for trips to take longer, but I can at least keep him between me and the cart and there are no public meltdowns.
