Use Common Sense

Here are some tips to keep you safe.

  • Go to parties with a group of friends and look out for each other. Leave together.
  • Do not go to a room or secluded area with someone you do not know well.
  • Do not leave a party with someone you just met.
  • If someone is forcing you to do something you do not want to do, clearly and directly say “no” or “stop.”
  • Tell your friends about your plans for the evening and when you will be home.
  • Trust your instincts. If something doesn’t seem right, leave or call for help.
