Ways to stay safe when out and about
- Stick with mates a similar age to you – a good mate won’t ask you to do stuff you’re uncomfortable with
- If you feel you can’t say no, ask yourself: ‘Am I in a safe situation?’
- If someone offers you something for free, ask what they want in return
- Listen to your body – a fast, pounding heartbeat and churning stomach are signs you feel unsafe
- Be careful what personal details – including photos – you give out
- Make sure you know where you are going and how to get home. Have credit and charge on your phone
- Make sure someone you trust always knows where you are
- Drinking and taking drugs can make you unaware of unsafe situations and you can become a target for people who may hurt you
