I’m from the Netherlands and here there isn’t really anything rural in the American sense. Save for a few islands and some of the artificial province
(formatting is broken but here’s a map of the distance to a populated area anywhere in the Netherlands https://www.reddit.com/r/thenetherlands/s/JzV4rtkq3g ) most people live pretty close to others and there aren’t places where your neighbours are far from you.
Anyways what i want to ask is what do kids from really rural area’s do? Do they frequently play with other kids? Do they mostly socialize in school? Is their school even a feasible distance from them?
