Is this a knife I see before me?
Or is it something else?
 
Am I being duped and taken for a fool?
But, nobody will bother me now!
I'm ready...!
 
I don't think this is right.
 
Either way, I'm asking for trouble?
 
Will anybody else listen? 


Should I risk trying to buy a knife?
How? Shop, or online?

Do I look 18?
I've seen the signs by the tills.

Can I pass as an 18 year old?
Should I pick it up and take it?

Or, do I leave it exactly where it is hidden?

Do I really need a knife, 
because he/she/they have one?

Can I ask a friend?
My cousin? No they'd grass on me.
Could I pay that 5th year?
