Knife crime: Know the consequences
- People who carry a knife are more likely to be hurt.
- It puts your friends in danger.
- Having a criminal record can prevent you getting into your chosen college or university, getting certain jobs and travelling to some countries, including the USA.
- You can go to prison for four years, even if you are carrying the knife for someone else.
- Or in the worst case scenario, you end up using it and do something you will regret for the rest of your life.
The choice is yours. The Fearless website offers advice and has inspirational stories about how people who used to carry knives have turned their lives around.
