When I started chess the principle is simple. Center pawn, get the knights out, get the bishops out, castle short. But the more I play vs higher elo, the more it seems like castling is sometimes dangerous or even trapping the King.

But with the King in the center, how can I be sure the King is actually safe despite in the center?

I stopped using Wayward Queen Attack as people said higher elo won't fall for the Scholar's Mate and it's a bad opening.

But is it truly a bad opening? Like when people successfully defend from the earlier attack, does it really make white's position bad? Fyi I'm 1200 elo.
