On thursday, my sister came home from school and told me that two people (within walking distance from my home) had been stabbed that day. I was non- pulsed, it didn't even register as someting out of the ordinary. But here's the thing, I live in a middle- class suburb... there are just a few estates around me.

I used to carry a knife as I had a very dodgy boyfriend and could not trust his friends... I no longer do but regularly walk through 'unsafe' areas. The thing is, you totally have to avoid anyone of teenage age whilst you are out because we (they?) all carry knives or know people who do.

My brother-in-law was convicted for G/ABH a few years ago (allegedly he stamped a guy's head in) so that gives me some level of 'protection' but for god's sake, I'm hardly in 'the ghetto'!I live in a middle class area and attend an all girl's school!

Does anyone else feel this ridiculous? How is 'knife crime' in your area? Do you feel you need to carry a weapon?

it's stupid, it's completely illegal to carry a knife unless you have good reason (like being a chef with your own knives) i do understand that, but what if you're scared and want it for self-defence? you're not allowed to use it for self-defence, so you're jsut meant to stand there and let someone stab you...possibly kill you?

My neighborhood feels relatively safe. I definitely don't feel a need to carry a weapon.

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair,
gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your
inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet
spirit which is of great worth in God's sight

There's nothing here, but I always used to carry a switchblade, up until it broke. Just to be safe, 'cause I've seen some really fucked up people before, and I don't really trust anyone that I don't know personally.

Life is just a test; to test how small we really are.
Life is a series of challenges that will test you -
your will; your passion.
Some tests are written - this one's live.

I don't know anyone who carries around knives. It's just not normal in New Zealand.
