I'm really small so I don't know what I should do if I ever got attacked. Once when I found out my friend's boyfriend at the time was cheating on her I knocked him unconsious in a single blow  But I have never actually been attacked. For a while I lived in next to a banana garden in Turkey and after hearing that some men tried to rape a girl a couple of times and being called on by men driving by in cars I worried for myself. I'm not proud to say but I started to bring a knife when going out by myself during the nights.

and even if i had the key and had the chance to punch the attacker's eyes with it
i think i will be too afraid
punching an eye with a key is scary itself :-S

But what if you feared for your life?
I'm not sure what I would do myself. I hope I wouldnt worry about hurting the attacker. It's better he gets hurt than me.

yea i guess i am not prepared for attacker's yet
maybe some kick boxing classes can help
it's just that we always tell ourselves "no that's not gonna happen to me" when we hear stories of tragedies and disasters, instead of getting prepared

That's true. I have also done that in the past - I was thinking "no nobody could get me down I'm too strong and I can run very quickly" But you never know. You hear stories all the time and frankly it makes me worried sometimes.

even if u couldn't get them down  atleast u have a bigger chance of giving yourself some time to run away by taking such classes i guess
so don't worry your classes are usefull but i hope u never need to use them
and yea u can never know because sometimes even skinny boys can surprise u with how strong they can be

Well, besides the fact that tear gas is very prohibited in my country (maximum punishment is 4 years in prison!) I would never take that with me. Not that I would feel sorry but because I found out the very hard way that things can be used against yourself! Men who want to attack you are warned for stuff like that, they are not innocent lambs. And the attack itself is horrible enough, why should I take the chance also get tear gas in my eyes as well? Double problems?
I trust on my common sense and intuition now. I try not to go into places or to/with people I get an 'internal warning' for. I won't let my life be led by the thought something can happen to me again, I'm much too independant for that.

Thanks Trudy, from now on, i won't bring it anymore. And one thing more, i got no any chances of going to other places except home, office due to the demand of my job and i drive myself in going to and from these places.
