did you play out on the street a lot as a kid?

in primary school i was out every day, riding bikes/scooters, making dens, swinging from trees, falling in brambles and having to bath in chamomile lotion. those were the days...

I did and I had a childhood friend but then these new boys moved into the street and one of them was really mean to me. He made me SO SAD cos he told me girls couldn't ride bikes and girls shouldn't play pokemon and collect pokemon cards and stuff til eventually I felt like I couldn't go out and play anymore So sad.

There were alot of kids my age who lived on my road so would always be out playing till late doing all sorts. One kid his mum wouldn't let him off the road so we would normally cycle around the block and just make fun of him really. Or we would go down into the village and play in the stream.

Ye the first house we lived in was an estate so we were always out and about there. Then we moved to middle of nowhere so we were always out playing in the fields. After that we moved back to the city and I lived on a street so I would always be out playing there or up on the big green by our house. It was plenty of fun I loved it

Yes all the time. I did play games but not half as much as I do now.

Yes. Until a certain age, my limit was I wasn't allowed past a certain point down the hill (I lived on a hill). I remember once I went too far so my "friend" went to tell my dad and he came to get me... Not like I even went far down :S Stopped going out in the street when I realised what a **** this guy was.

Didn't play in the street as such but yeah, ventured out on our own until our parents called us back. This was until we moved when i was 13, then it was more or less our parents drove us some place, waved us goodbye and told us they'd meet us again at x place to drive us back home.

I didnt play out in the streets but i used to live in a flat and they used to have a park that belonged to everyone who owned a flat literally 2 min from my flat so i spent a lot of time there
