In my school there was a lot of knife-crime. It was not unusual to hear that someone got stabbed, every time i entered the school yard.

Since writing here helps me feel more regulated and heard, i will share a small story with you.

There was a very introverted guy who suddenly had turned into a sociopath. He was making weird movements and showing signs of aggression.
One morning i came to school only to find out he had stabbed a professor in my school. I was greatly shocked and it was quite worrying having a psychopath in the same school.

Few days later, he came into my classroom and shouted something. He had a big knife in his hand and was looking if someone was showing "resistance".

Seeing how easily i could get stabbed by him, i started looking down because i was afraid of making eye contact with him, because lord knows what could have happend.

The boys in my class probably did the same, and he walked out.

Nobody got hurt by the psycho, but i guess we all got a little bit traumatized by him.
