Two days ago, a woman in her early 30's was found dead along a road not to far from my house. The police do not know if it was a murderer or not, but I'm only 12 and this is freaky. I never thought this would happen where I live. Its freaky now, and that road is so empty, with just woods. its scary to be alone, and I'm not sneaking outside to stargaze and roam for atleast 1 week. I just hope the person doesn't strike again.

I understand... if you do wish to go out... make sure to take someone (or 2 people) with you to stargaze

Wow, that is scary! It always means a lot more when it happens so close to home doesn't it?
Let's hope that it was a random act and she was dumped there rather than killed there! In the meantime, you do what you have to in order to remain safe, OK?
*hugs*

well, if you were 21, i would say do like i do. i carry a .40 caliber pistol with me (legally), and that help ME go out alone, heh. i agree, get someone to go with you, or two. that is the best thing i would say.

Can't argue with that Morgan. :D

I've actually had these kind of things going on recently to and it is freaky. This one guy murdered his girlfreind and left her in the garage, and this kid shot his own dad on another persons property without the houses owner even knowing they were there. I live in a fairly well to do suburb and noone ever commits crimes except for trashed teens. It's kind of disillusioning to know that people around me do these things and not just random nutcases in the city. Personally i dont like to roam after dark in any case, im knd of paranoid about the dark.

Thats what i do Adam. Me, my bro, and my neighboor go around the neighboorhood to talk, stargaze, and walk. Sometimes we go out late, and go on Missions which involve exploring construction sites, or getting a motor from a Drying Machine. Youthfull curiousity is great.

Stay indoors, SecretMaster. Go out only with your parents.

it doesn't have to be ONLY the parents!
invite the parents in the stargazing group!

Man, thats terrible news. The same thing happened near the Good News Center where i go just three weeks ago. I was talking about it with my mates Ali. It turned out that the person who got killed was the father of one of our friends.
I normally walk my friends home at night anyway. Before i walk alone back down to a bus stop. See how selfless I am. Just this year i've been mugged at knife point 2 times and beaten up by a group of drunks who saw me preaching in the street that day. Lucky i'm strong of faith. Its sad to say it but people around here are used to it. I really hate the "s**t happens" mentality societys got.
