Answer 10

I'm in secondary school. I do trampolining and go to the gym. When I do trampolining there are plenty off primary school kids there.

Answer 11

I was lucky. When I was in school my best friend lived next door and her mom didn't work so she watched me after school until my older brother and sisters got home. During the Summer all 4 of us (One of my sisters was friends with my friends sister) would hang out and swim in their pool. Our neighborhood was really tight knit....neighborhood BBQ's, Christmas parties, etc, so the parents that didn't work kept an eye on the other kids.
