 |
Settle arguments with words, not fists
or weapons. Don't stand around and form
an audience when others are arguing. A
group makes a good target for violence.
|
|
|
Learn safe routes for walking in the
neighborhood, and know good places to
seek help. Trust feelings, and if
there's a sense of danger, get away
fast.
|
|
|
Report crimes or suspicious actions to
the police, school authorities, and
parents. Be willing to testify if
needed. |
|
|
Don't open the door to anyone that you
don't know and trust.
|
|
|
Never go anywhere with someone you don't
know and trust.
|
|
|
If someone tries to abuse you, say no,
get away, and tell a trusted adult.
Remember, it's not the victim's fault.
|
|
 |
|
|
Don't use alcohol or other drugs, and
stay away from places and people
associated with them.
|
|
|
Stick with friends who are also against
violence and drugs, and stay away from
known trouble spots.
|
|
|
Get involved to make school safer and
better-having poster contests against
violence, holding anti-drug rallies,
counseling peers, settling disputes
peacefully. If there's no program, help
start one. |
|
|
Help younger children learn to avoid
being crime victims. Set a good example,
and volunteer to help with community
efforts to stop crime.
