There recently was the news of plastic recycling not being plausible and people were surprised.
I myself met so many men having sex with men who don't know what PreP is, who kept fearing HIV when they could've gotten supply for months for 10 euros.

TW//Description of physical violence
Fighting outside of a gym looks really, really silly. If you have training, then you have more interesting training partners at a gym and if you have no training you're partaking in a comedy of errors. It's like when people who've never studied immunology debate vaccines or if untrained swimmers compete in a race. So seldom does fighting accomplish anything including safety for yourself and others. Your win condition in self defense has nothing to do with how hurt the other person is - you win when you're back home (or otherwise move on). In fact, damage to them is detrimental because the authorities might want to mess with you if you hurt them too bad.
And even beyond that, martial arts are a silly, quaternary method of pursuing your personal safety. Your primary method is to not look like an easy target like not displaying opulence, being in a group, or in well lit places. Second to that would be not being awful in public and be willing to apologize. Third is some kind of weapon like pepper spray or a Taser flashlight which is easy to carry with you. If none of that works and you can't just leave then you're well served for having taken those jiu jitsu classes but the odds of getting to that point seem low, like 1% of situations that are violent.
To that end I fight because it's fun and my desire to use it stops when I take of the spandex, gi, big gloves or tiny gloves. Unless, of course, my aim is to annoy my friends and family. Lest I feel like learning how set up the Peruvian neck tie were crucial to walking around at night which I haven't done in months. If I'm at the gym it has an immediate application because if I can't get my arms in deep after a scramble to front headlock I can force their neck into my hands with the back of my leg. Being good at fighting sounds like arcane blabbering because it's a skill like any other - not necessarily about being tougher, meaner, more territorial, or (socially) aggressive.
You just really shouldn't fight unless you're supervised or having fun with someone you trust. You're not Naruto and Sasuke, you're Curly and Moe.

Yeah comrade, that's unfortunate. Because a skateboard shouldn't be a display of opulence. And having a weapon would increase the level of violence if it's a common occurrence. E.g. pepper spray would work once or twice until someone brings a bat. And being in a rough area has brought you you more than your fair share of violent situations. I would offer you something substantive if I could, but I'd have to know more (e.g. how does a typical altercation start, how many people are involved, is there a common time, etc.), otherwise all I'd have for you would be my condolences and the suggestion that if you're alone a friend might make you a less appealing target. Have you considered just pressing the communism button so that skateboards aren't subject to corporate greed, people who would be prone to fighting become more capable of interacting positively in their community, and the public utilities like parks and recreation get more love?
If you want a second pair of eyes on the situation DM me and if my experience could help you I would.
