So my friend Michelle sent me this and it's supposed to be a forward thingy which I usually just randomly send to people but after reading this I decided maybe I should put this in my LJ. BTW I've seen this before and I think it's really useful l for women of all ages. I'm sure heaps of you guys have seen it before but I wanted ya'll who haven't

This is actually really helpful ^_^, since I am always paranoid XD. Good thinking about posting this.

This actually opened my eyes to all the possibilities of being raped and such. Do you mind if I also spread this through my lj?

[carviangli]

No, not at all! The point of this forward is so that heaps of ppl would see it! I am fine with you posting it in your lj- as long as more people will see it :P

Great advice! I've done karate before, so we learned a bit there too. But it's scary that rapes are increasing. In the capital here in Norway (Oslo) we had a huge wave of rapes this winter, which was nothing like before.

Oh wow! You live in Oslo. Sorry, I just did a project on Norway....yes rape is a serious crime and everyone should know how to protect themselves...it's good you learnt karate....my friend learns it and she's really good at fighting (going for her black belt soon!- fianlly after three-ish years of learning it) . I want to take it up as well, though I'd prefer twaekondo.

No, I don't live in Oslo but farther north, in a city called Tromsoe (we're actually applying for the host city of the 2018 winter olympics ^_^)
I saw in your profile that you live in Melbourne. That's my fave city in the world, I've been there 2 times since my aunt and uncle lives there!
