The 4 Rules to Stay Safe
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 ever faced with a risky situation or get into trouble, your family and friends will know where to begin looking for you.
IT’S YOUR BODY You have the right to reject unwanted and inappropriate attention such as teasing, touching, and bullying.
SAY NO IF YOU FEEL THREATENED, AND TELL A TRUSTED ADULT 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.
