Witnessed Stabbing while 10yo

Ok, so i was 10 years old, and i saw the aftermath of a stabbing.
When i say aftermath, i mean pool of blood, open wound, guy unconscious, etc.
Has anything like this happened to anyone at so young an age?
Do you think it would affect me in any way, like make me want to kill people or something?
Do you think it's normal?

I dont think it would make you want to kill someone, it could affect you in a stress type of way.

Your willing to discuss the matter speaks volumes that you have accepted the event and are willing to converse about it, well done.

Ive never seen anything like that before, I did once find a dead bloke in the bottom of the hedge and informed the police etc, I was about 12 at the time.

I dont think it has ever affected me as a person but I did think about it a lot just after the event for some time, it will always be with me and I can see the metal picture in my head as clear to day as it was all those years ago.

If its bothering you, tell close friends and possibly a doctor.
Buy a knife. You need to carry one to protect yourself. Because having a knife in your pocket is the best defence you can have for somebody else plunging one into your head. By the time you've bled to death you may have got the knife out of your pocket and be waving it at passers-by.
you ahvent been saying aids in your recent posts. THIS ONE HAD BLOOD IN IT COME ON
i see this had a profound impact on you. Good luck with that!
LOL
i was 5 wen i encountered a room full of mexicans playing volleyball with some canadian tourists heads? They made me ballboy
i think it would draw you away from killing maybe, that's a very scary thing for a 10 year old to witness.
go to therapy.... was it someone you knew?? If not....then you should be fine.....
If it affects you maybe you should see a councilor.
But if not, and if you don't feel like killing people, then you should be fine.
But as soon as you do, GET SOME HELP!
well i saw some guy get stabbed at this pub neer my house when i was about 5 when i was riding my bike with my bro he didt die and i dint even give a fuk i just carried on riding.
once i saw the aftermath of a guy who tried to jump a train,while being chased by drugdealers.I remember standing in his blood barefoot,and my friends were laughing at me,and telling me i had AIDS......TRUE STORY. I could tell you some other horrific things i've seen a 13 yr old boy fucking his dog,it's part of growing up.I would have to say those things i've mentioned did not affect me,infact i find them quite humorous now.I think the things that affect you,mentally and socially are things you are a victim of not things you've wittnessed,only if you are apart of what is going on will it affect every aspect of your life.
