Scenarios:
A - It is summer. You are hanging with some friends (male and female) at the park. Some of the lads are playing football. They are challenged to a game by another group of boys. The game gets out of hand and tempers are flared. One threatens to use a knife.

B- You have found out that a good friend of yours has started carrying a knife. What do say to them?

C- A friend of yours has joined a violent gang (or is dating someone from a violent gang) on your estate. What do you do: join to fit in or find another way?

D– You are coming home from school on the bus. A group behind you are giving you some abuse and trying to make you to react. You see that they are carrying knives. Once off the bus, they decide to follow you.

Competition closes on Friday 27th February.
Have some inspiration!
Some Habbos have already cast their reviews and we have picked a selection to get you thinking. These Habbos have NOT necessarily won this competition, but are being used as good examples. If they do not win anything from this competition, they will receive something.
Example 1: Evalle
Watching some of my closest friend's follow their script and act slightly mature for once made my Habbo "LOL". I also realised that a lot of work had been put into it, the Director had spent a while choosing the furniture, the layout and where his Habbowood Director's chair was to be placed. Curse the people who invented that! What surprised me the most was that it easily lived up to my expectations. The Director certainly had an eye for colour as everything suited its position. I was certainly shocked at how it all came to life. HOWEVER, i was disappointed that my Theatre Chair contained Salted not Sweet popcorn. Whilst watching it, i felt part of it, involved and interested! Next time, i would appreciate a starring role, the Lead Girl - suits me fine! I'd recommend watching it to fellow Habbos.
Example 2: EXperting
It was a truly heart wrenching story. But it sent out an important message and that message was: If you carry a knife your more likely to get stabbed yourself. The acting was superb and it was an amazing play to watch because it sent out the right message and that message was not to carry a knife!

It Doesn't Have To Happen is created by young people for young people to raise awareness of knife crime. It Doesn't Have To Happen is also there to show the real opportunities you have in life. Habbo as a community can come together and take a stand against knife crime. Take a stand, join our group page and see what you can do."
Bucho6 and Lost_Witness say NO and have joined the official group - will you and your friends?
