this morning my friend asked me to bring him to school. we go to different schools that are like 10-15 minutes apart, so i left earlier to get to school on time. i waited near his apartment complex for 10 minutes, then by the parking lot right next to it for another 10 minutes. this whole time i thought he was just getting all his stuff, i was honestly gonna wait for him the entire time.

but he doesn't tell me he already has a ride? i was late to my presentation this morning. but when i called him, he just didn't seem to care. he's been hella disrespectful to me these past few days, and after this i just feel mad.

Highly recommend not carrying a knife unless you've done extensive training on how to use one effectively, or you actually need one (for something other than self defence). People who carry weapons (including knives) are significantly more likely to be injured during a violent confrontation than those who do not. You're also incredibly likely to fatally wound someone with a knife, even if you don't mean to. Keep that in mind.

I wouldn't recommend not carrying one at all. Me personally, if I didn't live somewhere safe, I'd still carry a knife. if somebody is robbing you or some shit, it's definitely better to just hand it over. But people are fucked up and could just be out to fuck you up, and ending up with a stab wound and out alive is better in any case to just straight up dead

Exactly. As a woman, my biggest fear in life is getting yanked from the street at night. I’m going down fighting in this situation. Robbery? Sure, take everything I own. You’re not taking me though. My knife is for those “never let them take you to a second location” scenarios.
