what’s it like growing up in mexico? if you’ve immigrated, what’s the difference? what are some culture differences that are hard to adjust to? what are some similarities?

Well for my personal experience it’s normal but that’s because I don’t know how to compare it, I do must add that growing up my parents make sure to give me as much of a perspective of the world as possible.
I went to science and art camps, I also did multiple sports, and meet kids from different socio-economic backgrounds, I had access to internet from a young age and went to a lot of cultural events.
But that’s for my case, I know my elementary school classmates had a very different childhood.
I had a group of friends that lived in a camp for kids who’s parents couldn’t take good care of them or didn’t had the time to do it.
I also met rich kids who’s parents would take them to vacations to other countries, or they where straight up originally from other country.
It was and still is very common to see kids from middle school going around my city alone or with no adults around, but that’s because comparing to other cities in Mexico, we still have some security in those matters.
And it’s also common to let kids go do small shopping to near by stores, maybe not so much now but in my times it was.
Hope to have answer your question.
