So my secondary school has a college right beside it, and there's a sidewalk from my school that goes past the college and to the shops nearby where students from both schools go to

Last year, I think some of the college students had to do some assignment which included a survey, because for a week or two while walking down the sidewalk to the shops to get some snacks or drinks I saw quite a lot of college students holding some papers writing things down while talking to the kids at our school

But then there's one thing. Those college students are tall and huge. And quite a good percentage of the kids going to the shops were like 12 to 14 year olds. Who are pretty short. And we're told that strangers would kidnap them. I walked past some of my classmates once answering those surveys and I'm pretty sure nothing makes you feel any more weak and small than when you're a short 13 year old kid clutching your boba tea with both of your hands and two tall like 20 - 21 year old guys start asking you questions and writing your answers down.

I think my friends looked like they were gonna shit themselves. All those college students probably took a good amount of time just convincing 13 year olds that they aren't gonna kidnap them to sell at the black market than actually writing down answers to their survey.

I'd think they were just thinking "please trust me I'm not gonna murder you I just want to pass this subject stop running away please"

I pity them
