Answer 2

yes but I make sure I am aware of my surroundings and I have found that if you come across dodgy looking youths it is best to say hi to them as if they were normal fellow members of the civilised human race.So Far I have had no trouble with them.

Answer 3

Yes.!!..Living in Northwest London thats a surprise..=}..today I'd lost my phone while play fighting without even realising i'd accidently dropped it. A strange man then calls up my house,insisting he'd found my phone and rang up ''dad'' which later we had to collect.

Answer 18

I live in a small borough outside Manchester. I'd never walk around Manchester on my own at night, but I'm not fussed about most parts of my village.

Answer 19

Good God, NO!!!

                             We have no street lights in the tiny Cornish village I live in, so it's pitch black. It's not people that scare me................It's BATS!!!!!

Answer 20

I don't think it's safe to walk anywhere after dark, where i live seems safe enough but i'd stick to street lighted areas and cctv would be a bonus.

Luckily i can drive so don't have to worry about that too much, how about you?

Answer 21

yes

Answer 22

Yes because I am very very hard.

Answer 23

No way! Police are always running up and down our street!!

Answer 24

Do it all the time to walk the dog, but no place is 100% safe.  You just have to keep aware and be prepared as much as you can.  On the otherhand -- if you live where shootings occur often (maybe staying inside after dark is a smart thing to do).   Walker beware!

Answer 25

Yes. Only skittish WASP's are afraid to do so in my neighborhood. There isn't much more in the dark than there was in the light.

Answer 26

Nope, i very rarely walk on my own at night, im just grateful I have my car!

Answer 27

i live in north east london (hackney), and walking around after dark is something i do everyday. when your numbers up your numbers up! you shouldn't avoid going out in fear of something bad happening.. if i did that id be stuck inside 24/7!

Answer 28

I live in a small town in southern North Carolina and I don't even feel safe walking down my street after dark. There are too many other teenagers around here.. but they're the kind that like to smoke, do drugs, carry around weapons and the like, not to mention we have no street lights so it's basically just really dark so I don't feel safe.

When I go stay with my dad on weekends though I like walking around his neighbourhood after dark though because it's a nice, caring community and there are quite a few other teens there but they're usually like me and don't want to so much as touch drugs, alcohol or guns and c**p.. and they have lots of streetlights. :D

I always carry my pepper spray/mace/whatever you'd like to call it though because sadly it's still hard to trust people with the way the world is now. D:
