Scared To Go Out At Nights?

WE are really lucky and live in a nice neighbourhood , but in saying that if I do walk anywhere at night my hubby or son go with me just to make sure I am safe ( bless them ) xx

I really got into trouble from my eldest son a couple of weeks ago when I went to visit him and his wife in the city. I thought it would be really neat to convenitently walk to the conveniece store. Is that not what they are for?? So off I went. They work downtown and so they live downtown. It was a little chilly and I cut through the alley. I thought nothing of it since I am a hick from the sticks and I go outside in the dark all the time. When they got home, my daughter in law asked where I had gotten the salsa that I used for dinner. I told them I walked to the conveniece store and just quickly cut through the alley. I thought I was the child when my son was finished tearing a strip off me. I will never do it again that's for sure.

I probably won't go out by myself, but I'll go out if someone was with me.

I'm not scared going out at nights - but i really don't get a lot of chance to go out coz my MOM surely is scared ! You know how folks are... * Sigh * - But i'm not really complaining - I've had my share of late nights/all night parties and i'm kinda ' over' all that stuff.

Certainly not where I live .. I would go out and about at any time of the day or night and not feel any fear at all .. but if you take me away from my 'safe' little village then I would have to say .. go out at night, on my own, with my obvious disabilities .. NO WAY !! Away from home I would need door to door transport should I go out at night .. and my preference would be to stay indoors in the hotel/B&B etc I was staying at .. I am not afraid of people ... but I am afraid of the media hype about single women, disabled, older folks being attacked .. because when people read such things and then see a solitary traveller it surely goes through their mind that they have read how easy it is for folks to get away with 'bashing' vulnerable people .. it must be true they've because they've seen it so often in newspapers and on TV .. So in many ways the media stories may actually encourage others who wouldn't normally think of attacking anyone to 'have a go' ..

I do avoid areas, especially at night, but the criminals in this area are not going to hold me hostage, cowering in my own residence. Yes, I may be safer indoors, but why should they be the ones to dictate how I should live? I'm not afraid of dying, let the punks do what they will to me. My body may protest a short while, but I have rights, and they won't take them away from me. Of course when faced with a situation I will do what I can to survive, but be assured I will do everything in my power to get those perpetrators behind bars with the other violent animals.

I dont go out in nights. If is not sensible than we also cant lose our mannerism. Instead of involving in all these things I avoid to go out.

No in my little city not are more violence, but I go not alone, burt whit ny friends....

i dont feel safe going out at nights. i dont feel safe at all... i'm really afraid of this terrorizm. everyday i hear worst side of it and it make me feel scary..

No, my city is pretty safe still. Compared to a lot of other big cities it's not bad. ALthough, I wouldn't wander the allies myself.

no,never,why we felt scary to go out in the night,we have not to fear from violence and tried to declined ,if evryone got scary to go out then how u developed urself

No not at all, you cant let them win can you? It would be sillly to always stay in and worry over this

no not at all....

I would not go out alone at night, only with family. Though you do see young kids like 9 and under still playing out on the street until quite late at night.
