There is a safety in numbers so don't go out alone.  This rule isn't just for little kids, it applies to teens too.

Letting someone know where you will be at all times is smart, so always tell an adult where you are going.  If you are faced with a risky situation or get into trouble, your family and friends will know where to find you.

If someone, ANYONE, touches you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, you have the right to say NO.  Whether it is pressure about sex, drugs or doing something that you know is wrong, be strong and stand your ground.

• Check out the house before entering.  Go to a safe place to call for help if something doesn't see right.

• Lock the door.
  Call your mom or dad when you get home to let them know you are safe.

• Never tell callers that your parents aren't home.  Instead, say that he or she can't come to the phone and offer to take a message.

• Don't open the door for or talk to anyone who comes to your home unless that person is a trusted family friend or relative and your mom or dad has said it's okay.
