Thank you.

I’d like to know how safe it is for teenagers as they love to have their independence.

Are there any areas to avoid living in or near with teenagers.


Thanks

Pretty safe.  Bahrain, and indeed all of the GCC, cannot be compared to western cities.   People habitually don't lock their doors and grab tables in the mall by putting their wallets on them when going to get food - a bit excessive in my view but this illustrates the safety levels here.  You won't face violent crime or mugging or things of that sort here.   With a little bit of common sense, there won't be any issues.
