> As a 12 year old me and my peers had no mobile phones and most of us went home from school alone
Again that is cherry-picking.
Yes, I walked to school alone when I was 12. Also when I was 7.
But school is a consistent, well-known location with adult supervision at the destination. The amount of maturity required for traveling to school is minimal.
Kids can do a lot more open-ended activities than walking/taking the bus to school.
