Any advice for me so I can prevent something traumatic happen to me again?

Okay, here's the story.

On the way home to school (which was in a big city) I was mugged. Took my phone, watch and my cash. Did I mention I was at gun point?

Any advice on how to prevent this?

There are two solutions.

1. Don't walk home on your own. Find a group of friends who're going your way and tag along with them. If that's not possible, get a bus or arrange to have your parents pick you up.

2. Learn to perform the various special moves from Street Fighter.

I'll try those. Anything else other than doing barrel rolls?

Oh, thanks for reminding me. I forgot to mention that anybody who says "Do a barrel roll" in this thread should jump out of the nearest window. Seriously guys, it's not funny anymore.

Avoid back alleys. Stay on the main streets, in the crowded areas, where lots of people can see you.

Thanks. I'll follow them.

crate spin!
ummm
where ever gun is pointed get hands as close as possible and move outta way fast try to take it
i would do that considering its prob either fake or their to much of pussys to pull trigger
or make a slit in your shoes and bring a knife in your pocket (switch blade/butterfly knife) and when you get to skool go 2 bathroom and put it in shoe


these are things i would do
i advise against them if your afriad to die or get arrested


other wise next time it happens folo them to house

...

I'd like to live longer with peace thank you.

Err..try not to show your valuables, and avoid flaunting them about.

folow them to there house write down adress and either
A:break in when no ones there and take there stuff and yours back.
or
B:call the police

Use your common sense! You were probably mugged because you walked through an area that's best avoided, especially if you're alone. It's a good idea to avoid those sort of areas. How many people mugged you anyway? Was it just the guy with the gun, or a gang?

Well, I would probably try to walk home with a group of friends if you could. But if you can't, just don't walk down that street anymore, try to find a new route home.

Get a flak jacket, a tank, M16, and a bumper sticker that says "If you toucha my car I breaka you face"

Posibly, now that you have been mugged. Your Mom/Someone may pick you up from school... I'f not, I would complaine.

How about talking a different rout home. BTW which city?

Fail.
More people are getting killed by knives now because when they try to use them they get used against them.
Seriously, don't ever follow this advice as you'll more than likely be arrested for carrying a knife on you.
I'd just get the police involved and try to vary your ways to and from school, if possible walk with friends to.

Sorry about that dude, my stepdad got that once, some big black dude with a sawed-off shotgun. He was gonna get back at 'em too but he decided not, an he's a tough guy.

Option 1: Intelect

While the gun is in your face, be calm, cool, and collected. Tell them they can have whatever, if they can kill you, and that you'll certainly not let them do it without a fight. Then eat away at their emotions, goin' over all tha bad stuff they've done, and how they'll go to hell. Tell him he ain't go tha ballz to pull the trigger, and make sure he doesn't, for obvious reasons, wittle away at him, eat at his mind. Tell him the gun isn't even loaded and whatnot. Ask him what good it'd do to kill him for some cash, with the cost of his freedom, his life, his soul. If you pull it off well, he should give int or just leave. Or turn himself in. Of course, you'd have to be part insane and have an influencin' personality. And you'd probably be sayin' this as you run or go in circles around one another. Not for the average joe with an average intelligence.

Option 2: Force/Deception
Tell him you'll give him tha cash if he drops tha gun (at quite a distance away), then reach into yer pocket to get the goods. Then, with items in hand, get as close as you can, then strike in a fight finisher area. Punch him in tha adam's apple, push his nose back into his head, take his legs out from under him, hit him in the gonads, etc. Then pick up his gun and point it at him, then lead him out of wherever you're at (assumin' a back ally) and take him to the nearest cop. Probably your best option.

Just my best ideas, maybe you should just not go into the bad parts of town anymore.

carry a brick in your handbag

That's what you do I assume? For him, a guy, he should carry it in his backpack (assumin' he has one, if not, get one for that purpose).

you stupid ninny.

backpacks dont have the effective swinging motion a handbag does.

try your stockings.

Hmm, I suggest he make what my step-sister calls a *****-beater, a black rubber tube with big pieces of lead taped onto it.
