Know The Rules
Don't Go Out Alone
There is safety in numbers and this rule isn't just for little kids, it applies to everyone. We
are always safer if we take a friend, sister, or brother.
Always Tell An Adult Where You're Going
Letting someone know where you'll be at all times is smart. If you're faced
with a risky situation or get into trouble, your family and friends will know
where to find you.
Say No If You Feel Threatened
If someone -- anyone -- touches you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, you
have the right to say no. Whether it is peer pressure about sex, drugs, or
doing something that you know is wrong, be strong and stand your ground. Don't
be afraid to make your feelings known.
