Is the UK safe?

Im only 14 and don't really understand whats going on at the moment with war and things like that but I know that with the threat level being raised I'm very worried for my safety. If a terrorist attack does occur, would it be a mass thing of just a small bomb affecting only a small area? Is the UK safe and will we be able to fix this mess? Also, we are due to be moving to the USA next month to Indiana, is it safe there?

Im just so confused right now and am hoping our government has this all under control.

Update:

also with the 11th September approaching soon, could that be like a reason for them to attack on that specific day?

    You cannot live in terror for the rest of your life because a group of nutjobs keep threatening (both terrorists and Theresa May). Pay no heed to the terror levels... I never really understood the system. Is it just to stir panic amongst people? I would understand if it was issued to the police and army only and a general warning when something is extremely likely to happen but that is not the case. The terror level is raised based on what is happening currently around the world and the "terrorists" that we seem to export out of the UK, the handful of extremists that have their own niche.

    Of course, heaven forbid, if something happens, it will occur on a scale (one would hazard a guess) as 7/7 or similar. It will not be like an atomic bomb to eradicate the entire country. Do not live in fear. Go about your life..... you are unlikely to be affected by anything. The problem is a problem that is growing and formulating now and forming a threat that mainly can affect other countries.... you cannot do anything about that. It is like locking yourself up because you feet death. You are safe as you can be and all said and done, our security services are commendable. Think of it the same way when you move to Indiana. The best is being done to protect you so do your best to go about your life normally or you have already been affected by terrorism. The purpose is to scare you and put you in the mindset that you are in currently.

    We're fine. There's always warnings about terror. The USA is safe too, maybe not as safe as the UK but then again the USA is so very powerful and hardly anyone ever dares attacking it. Don't worry. You could be in much worse situations like the people in the Middle East. Don't worry about anything! It would probably be a little bomb, a big bomb would ruin too much of the world.

    Yes, the UK is a very safe country. The panic is not designed to cause fear of Muslims but is just a nasty 'enemies at the gate" scare to scare Scottish people into voting NO in the forthcoming referendum.

    We are not safe in this country. Labour made us increasingly unsafe by allowing millions of potential terrorists to move here without any restrictions or expectations. There are tens of thousands of children who have been gang raped by the very communities that also have a history of harbouring terrorists and funding Moslem terrorism overseas. Until the truth is shouted loud and clear about this communities and the threats they pose to our children and us for not being Moslem the more endangered we are.

    Yes your safe, our government is just trying to coax us into supporting their police state using terrorism and pedophilia as bait, there's nothing to worry about so long as people don't fall for it and give up their liberty

    just keep away from certain people without mentioning them who are known for paedophiling little kids and stay away from drug dealers and bad people and you will be fine.
