Carrying Knives
Are you carrying a knife - or thinking of carrying one?
Do your friends or people you know carry or use knives?
What are you going to do about it?
This website is a place for you to get independent advice on how to avoid getting hurt or more deeply involved with weapons or gangs.
According to teachers, youth workers and young people themselves young people who carry or use knives do so because:
- they are frightened and think a knife may protect them or help them to protect themselves; or
- they are a members of a group or gang which carries or uses knives, maybe just as a fashion or out of bravado, or perhaps as a way of frightening people when stealing or committing crimes.
If you or your friends are in any of these situations, then check out the www.fearandfashion.org.uk website for suggestions for what you might do.
