Work out. Do push-ups, jump rope, and anything else you can do inside. It also might help you go to sleep faster. However, don't do them right before bed, or you'll get revved up and won't be able to sleep.

Go to bed at a decent hour. If you want, stay up a little later than you normally do. But you won't have any fun staying up until 3 a.m. watching TV mindlessly. Not to mention, you'll be cranky in the morning if you don't.

Scan Your Home. Take a walk-through of your house the second everyone is gone, before you really have time to let the fear set in. This includes looking behind couches, peeking at the spot between the door and the wall, and checking every room. You may feel silly, but it will save you from becoming paranoid later. Turn all lights on.
-
2
Lock All Doors and Windows. Next, go through every room again and ensure that every door and window is safely locked. The second check of every room adds to the feeling of safety and locking the doors and windows is a must.
-
3
Identify Sounds. Ever get scared out of your wits by what you were sure was an intruder, but just turned out to be a dripping facet? Identify all of the sounds that might scare you so that you know what to expect.
-
4
Check Blinds and Doors. During the day, keep your blinds open. Due to the fact that more light is outside than inside, you can look out but it is difficult for others to peer in. The opposite is true during the night, so if you're alone when it's dark close all blinds. If you can see most of the interior of a room with the door open, leave it open. If you can only see part of the room when you look through the door (such as a staircase that curves around or a bathroom with a separate room for the toilet), close it. You'll then be less nervous about someone sneaking up from somewhere that you can't see.
-
5
Turn up the sound. If your house makes scary sounds, turn on the television and some music. When you can't hear the creaks and other unidentifiable sounds, you won't be as nervous.
-
6
Take your mind off it. If you're still nervous, find something to do. Finish that Spanish presentation. Build a fort of pillows for your pet. Clean the house! Keep your hands and mind busy.
-
7
Call a friend. You're probably only nervous when you're completely alone, so ask a friend to come over. You'll feel much safer with another person around, and you'll have more fun.
-
8
Breathe. Remember that the probability of someone sneaking into your home or something bad happening to you while you're alone is extremely low. Take a deep breath and don't worry about it. Odds are, you'll be fine!

 Know the speed limit, day and night!
Make sure to stick to the speed limit. Even if you are running late somewhere, don't speed. It's better to get to your destination a few minutes later than planned than to be in an accident. Not only could speeding cause an accident, but it could result in you getting a speeding ticket!
-
2
Buckle up!
Use common sense. Wear your seat belt no matter what, and make sure not to get caught up in any distractions while driving, such as texting. If you really would like to do something, such as changing the radio station, wait until you are at a stoplight.
-
3
Be courteous to other drivers. If you see someone waiting to pull into traffic, let them in. Make sure if someone does the same for you, acknowledge it by a simple wave, a gesture that takes no energy on your part, but makes the other driver feel appreciated.
-
4
Restrict alcohol in your car!
Don't drive under the influence of alcohol. It is illegal for you to drink, anyway. If you do drink, though, get a designated driver to drive you safely home.
-
5
Driving alone is safer
Drive by yourself. Drive solo rather than with friends in the car at first. It is easy to get distracted when your friends are talking to you or to each other. For the first couple months after you've got your license, you might want to stick to just one passenger. Then the more you get the hang of driving, the more friends that can ride in your car.
- Some states in America have laws regarding the passengers of a car driven by a new driver. Make sure you are familiar with these laws.
-
6
Get into "The Zone" while driving. When driving a vehicle, drive the vehicle. Get rid of the distractions and focus on everything around you, yet have a clear mind. Focus only on the task at hand. Relax your body when behind the wheel instead of being tense and stressed. Enjoy the ride. Enjoy sitting in traffic. Live in that moment behind the wheel. Smile and know your safety comes first and know you will do anything to preserve that.
-
7
Don't use me while driving!
Turn off your cell phone. Even if you have Bluetooth, it is very easy to get in a car crash when you are texting or calling your friends.
- In some provinces in Canada, there are laws preventing the use of a cell phone while driving. Know if these laws apply to you.
-
8
Your car, your rules
Have rules in your car. It's your car, and when your friends and family are riding in it, set some rules for them. Don't have them do drugs or abuse alcohol in your backseat. Don't let them be a distraction for you. If they are distracting you, either pull over and talk to them, warn them that if they continue you won't drive them anywhere, or pull over and politely ask them to leave the car. Setting rules like these will avoid clashes with the law, as well as unwanted accidents.
-
9
Let others know when you're turning
Remember the rules of the road. Even if you do all of the above things, remember the rules of the road. Don't forget to put your turn signal on before turning, to check your blind spot, to look behind you before turning or merging, etc.
-
10
Take care of your vehicle. Make sure to keep your vehicle in good running condition. Change your oil when it's due. Some people let their car go thousands of miles over the oil change date. It literally takes 10 minutes to pull through an oil changing station and most of the time you don't even have to get out of your car. Take care of your car, take care of yourself, and enjoy the privilege of driving.

Always keep the door locked and do not open it if someone knocks or rings the doorbell. This is one of the most important things you can do to keep yourself safe. If your parents have told you to open the door for them when they return home, look out the window or peephole if you have one to make sure it is them. This rule applies even if it is someone important at the door, such as the landlord. Other important door rules include:
- Don't fall for the "I'm an undercover cop" trick. An undercover police officer will never come knocking on your door. If it is a uniformed police officer, then you may make an exception to these rules.
- Agree on a code word with your parents. The code word can be the name of a distant relative, a TV show, your favorite color, etc. This way, in the event of an emergency and your parents send someone to your house, they can tell the person the code word so that you know it is safe to open the door. When asking for the code word, do not say "What's my favorite color?" (assuming the code word is your favorite color). Instead, say "What's the password?" This way, you are not giving the person a hint to what the code word is. Don't forget to call your parents to find out if parents did send someone before you let them in.
-
2
Do not touch anything your parents tell you not to. These things may include, but is not limited to:
- The medicine cabinet
- Sharp knives
- Matches/lighters
-
3
Never cook without an adult or an adult's permission. If your mom or dad say you may, follow all cooking instructions.
-
4
When it gets dark, turn on all exterior lights and close curtains and blinds. Light and sound deter criminal activity, so keeping the outside of your house properly illuminated at night makes criminals think twice before doing something stupid around your house.
-
5
If anyone strange is around your house or in your neighborhood, do not go outside or to where that person (people) are. If they break a law such as trespassing territory, breaking into a car, or even breaking a neighborhood essential (such as a fire hydrant), call the police! Dial 9-1-1! If you aren't certain but you're pretty sure they're breaking the law, call an operator on your house phone. The number is just one simple number: 0. Talk to your parents about these strange people immediately no matter what.
-
6
Talk to your parents about which channels on television you can watch, if you can go online or on a specific chatroom, if you can play outside or go to your friend's house from across the street, etc. Write these "house rules" down on a piece or paper or a notepad and post it up on a wall in a room you will be in for majority of the time. It is also best if it is a room that you pay more attention to to stuff like photos, sticky notes left on a library shelf, and trash on the carpet. Yes, some people DO pay attention to the most detailed and smallest items of their surroundings, often if they are bored or waiting for something to happen!
-
7
If the phone rings, be sure you know who it is, especially check if you have caller ID. Do your parents allow you to answer it or just them when you're alone at the house? If you don't have caller ID or the ID seems unfamiliar, don't answer it just in case. If your parents plan to call you to check up on you, work out a system with your parents so that you'll know it's them calling if you don't have caller ID. Many phones have caller ID, though, so check to see if your home phone has it.
-
8
Another way to stay safe when you are home alone if the phone rings is to make sure that you know when your parent is calling. Have your mom or dad (or whoever left you home alone) call you, let it ring twice, then call you again so you are sure it is them.
-
9
If someone on the phone is looking to talk to one of your parents or both of them, don't let them know you're alone or they're not there! Just say, (assuming if they want to talk to your mom) "My mom's busy right now, may I take a message?" (Yes, it's easy to say that exactly and quickly! It's not as dumb as you might think!) If they keep insisting or asking questions, tell them, "I am sorry, but my mother is not available this moment." and immediately hang up! If they keep calling, don't answer them.
-
10
Beware of prank callers! Did a group of boys at your school plan on making prank calls to classmates today? Are they going to call the same person more than once? If so, don't answer if you know it is them making a prank call!
-
11
Don't spend your money on anything without your parents supervising you or a guardian over 18 years of age!
-
12
NEVER use your parents' credit card numbers for anything or even your OWN (usually emergency cards) unless it is a super emergency and you and others are in intense danger! Excusing yourself by saying, "It was an emergency, without an ice cream cone I'll STARVE TO DEATH and a salad won't help me!" or even "But I needed to buy that book or else it would sell out in an hour!" is really unnecessary and proves you cannot handle yourself and your money. Maybe even your PARENTS' money!

1
Know the area Plan a quick, direct route, the less time you spend in a bad neighborhood the less of a chance that anything can happen to you. Plan a route that can avoid small spaces, dark places or alleys.
-
2
Gear up Think cell phone with full batteries, mace and good shoes for running.
-
3
Don't go alone if you can help it. There is always strength in numbers.
-
4
Blend in Wearing clothes that make you look rich might make you a target so think, average Joe when dressing. Remove any bandannas and caps should not be tilted. Do not wear anything that might be associated with a gang. (Try to avoid light blue and red bandannas especially)
-
5
Walk quickly Like you have somewhere to be, DO NOT BE SLOW. Walk with confidence and stride so you blend in. If you look like you belong, no one will notice you. Just act like it is an every day thing.
-
6
No chit chat Ignore people, act like you have to be someplace. If someone speaks to you nod and walk away like you are late for something.

Steps
With Your Friends
-
1
Don't take dangerous dares. Do not even take dares in truth or dare. If someone dares you while playing Truth or Dare, just walk away and Say No.
-
2
ALWAYS say no if a friend offers you drugs or cigarettes, especially if you're underage.
-
3
Don't hang out with dangerous people. If you hang out with dangerous people, you are more likely to get peer pressured in a negative way.
-
4
Stick with trusted friends (like kids you knew for quite a while), and trusted adults. They'd keep you safe, and keep you out of trouble.
On the Street
-
1
Never leave your house without a guardian aware of the situation first. Give them a time you'll be home, where you're going, and who you're going with.
-
2
Don't take anything… from anyone. If you take something from someone, and don't know what it is, don't take it! You could get in trouble for getting caught with it, even if someone gave it to you.
-
3
Never accept rides from anyone. If a stranger tries to coax you into their car, run in the opposite direction screaming as loud as you can.
-
4
Don't go alone. If you must go, let's say, to the mall, instead of going alone, go with a group of friends so it's harder to single one out.
-
5
Don't go at night. Night is even more dangerous than day, since it is hard to see. If youmust go at night, stay in areas where there is adequate lighting.
-
6
Go the normal way home. Instead of trying that road you never noticed until 20 minutes ago, go on the roads you are familiar with and your parents know to find you at.
While You're At School
-
1
Don't stay after school unless it is something approved by your guardian and ran by the school.
-
2
Never stray away from the school premise. If you see your cellphone on a bench, tell a teacher before running back and getting it.
-
3
Never reply to any disturbing texts while at school. If you come across a disturbing text, don't reply, and tell a teacher immediately!
-
4
Don't accept rides from friends without telling a guardian first.
-
5
Know your school's evacuation drills/procedures. Pay attention during drills, and encourage your classmates to do the same.
On the Internet
-
1
Choose secure passwords. NEVER use lazy passwords like "password" or "12345"." Hackers know passwords such as those, and will try those first. Choose secure passwords with a mix of letters, numbers, and special symbols for the best password.
-
2
Log out of sites when done using them. Always log out of wikiHow, email sites, social networking, and other sites you wouldn't want messed with.
-
3
Never give out identifiable information such as your full name, address, phone number, email, or credit card number anywhere on the Internet, whether in a chat room or on Twitter.
-
4
If a stranger asks for personal information, tell them, "There are some things best left unsaid on the Internet."
-
5
Read the fine print. Before you sign up to any site, read the terms and conditions, and read all of the fine print!

Tornado. If you're at home and a meteorologist has warned you of a tornado in your area, take cover in the most safe place possible. If you have a storm cellar or safe room those are the safest places you could take shelter in. If you don't, make sure you're on the lowest level! If you have a basement go there, in a small corner, and protect yourself with something soft like a mattress or lots of blankets and pillows. If you don't have a basement go in a small bathroom or a closet (such as a coat or a linen closet) in the center of the lowest level of your home. Don't go in a room with windows! The windows could bust open and the wind would get in, that can hurt you! Again, protect yourself with a mattress or pillows and blankets. Keep a radio near-by at all times tuned on a station telling the weather. If you're home alone the least thing you want to do is panic. Do not wait around for your parents to come home, cause they're probably not going to if there is a tornado warning. Where ever you're taking cover, keep a phone with you! This way, if you keep trapped under debris you'll be able to call 911 for help. Don't leave your shelter until youknow it is safe.
-
2
Fire. If you're at school your teacher should already have a plan. If he or she doesn't have your parents discuss the importance of a good fire escape plan. If you're at home make sure you also have a fire escape plan. That should Consist of 2 ways to get out of room in every part of the house. Every family should have at least 3 fire alarms!. But if you're in your room and all of a sudden you smell smoke, go to your door but don't open it. If possible, get a wet cloth (or a fire mask, if you have one) and put it over your nose and mouth. The chemicals in the smoke are dangerous, so if possible, GET A WET WASHCLOTH. Feel of the door to see if it is warm with the backside of your hand. If it is and you know there is a fire in your home, go to the biggest window in your room and open, or break open the screen (if your window has one). You can break it open by using a toy to bang on it with, or just punching through and pulling it apart. If you're room is on the second floor, keep a escape ladder handy. These ladders are made of rope and wood and fold up so you can keep it near by. Carefully escape and run as far away from the house as possible (staying in your yard).
-

Earthquake. Earthquakes have only two ways of easy survival. One: run under a sturdy table, where there are no objects to fall on you or the table. Or run to the door way and stand straight and still. Don't move around! The more you move the better chance you have of getting hurt badly. Open fields, and (some might argue) limestone caves are the best places to be during an earthquake. Open fields rarely have fault lines, and there's nothing to fall on you. The cave theory is disputed, but the theory is: that you can shake it as much as you want, but the hole in the rock stays the same. Limestone is the strongest sedimentary rock.
-
4
Burglary. Most homes now have security systems. A security system is something that automatically contacts someone for help and makes a loud noise when someone breaks in. They have saved many lives, but then again not everyone. If someone breaks in you'll either see them, hear gun shots, yelling, or movement. Or you won't see them at all. If you see them and they don't see you, be as quiet as possible! If you think you can, sneak off the other direction and hide under your bed, cover your self up with a blanket, or climb to the top shelf on your closet. Any where you think you'll be safe until help arrives. Keep a cell phone with you at all times – even at home. Immediately call 911! The longer you wait, the longer it will take. Just remember, stay quiet and calm. Don't cry or they'll hear you. Just think good thoughts and know that you're going to be okay.
-
5
Car Wreck. Car wrecks can happen so fast! That's why you need to be prepared! If a wreck happens, try to get out of the car (unless you absolutely can't), and if possible, call 911. If you're stuck and you can't, let someone know that you're still alive. Say something like, "Help," or "I'm alive," as loud as possible. When emergency arrives, it may hurt when they pick you up. Remember they're there to help you and you're going to be okay. Stay as calm as you can the whole ride to the hospital and let them do whatever they have to do in order for you to survive. The EMTs will help you get better, so don't be afraid.
-
6
Even though there are so many emergencies that can happen, you can always be prepared. Through any emergency always stay calm. It always pays to be prepared!
Oct 05
-
1
Keep away from fire and heat. When your parents are cooking or lighting a fire, keep way from the area. You can still talk to them across the room or from several steps away but there is no need to be standing next to the heat. Keep a good distance from any fire that is burning and never place objects in a fire.
-
2
Do not play with matches or lighters. These are not toys. They are for creating a flame to light a fire and you can easily hurt yourself. Take them to your parents if you find them.
-
3
Keep safe in the kitchen.
- Never reach up for a handle on a stove or table. The pot may be filled with boiling water or very hot food and if it falls on your skin or face, you can be very badly burnt. Always ask if you are curious and want to look inside a cooking pot.
- Ask your parents to turn the handles of cooking pots towards the centre of the stove.
- Always get adult help to cook anything.
-
4
Never put anything on a lamp or near burning candles. The lamp can overheat and anything put near a candle might catch on fire from the flame.
-
5
Don't pick up things that have been sitting in or fallen into a fire. The coals are very, very hot and the flames can burn you. If something falls into a fire, ask an adult for help straight away.
-
6
Look out for your little brothers and sisters and any other young children. Make sure that they don't go near the stove or a fire source. Teach them about how fire or heat can hurt them.
-
7
Ask your parents to buy you close-fitting nightwear. Loose nightwear can easily trail into a fire or heater and catch on fire. Close-fitting pajamas are safer.
-
8
Be electricity wise.
- Never stick your fingers, sticks or any other objects into an electrical socket. This can burn you very badly if the electricity carries out to your body.
- Leave electrical cords alone. They can be a cause of fire.
-
9
Practice a safety drill. If it ever happened that your clothes caught on fire, it is important to practice this so that you will do it automatically:
- Stop – stop screaming, crying and panicking
- Drop – drop to the floor straight away
- Roll – roll over and over to try and put out the flames
-
10
Know what to do if you are caught in a fire. If you are asleep or inside your house when a fire starts, there may already be thick, dark smoke when you try to get out. Get down low and crawl to get out. There is usually less smoke at the floor level.

Tell someone where you are going and how long you plan to stay. This doesn't mean that you're cramping your own style. You're being smart by letting a family member or friend know where – and when – to start looking for you and worrying, if it comes to that. You don't need to provide a GPS tracker, but it's smart to leave a MapQuest or Google map of your planned route for your friend or parent so they know where to look for you if you don't show up. Knowing you have taken these simple precautions can boost your confidence significantly.
- Before you leave to meet your friends, call or text them to let them know you're on your way so they'll know something is up if you're not there.
- When you get there, tell your friend or parent that you've made it safely.
-
2
Make sure your car is in good shape if you're driving. If you're driving somewhere by yourself, you need to make sure that you have a spare tire in case you get a flat tire and that nothing on your dashboard is lit up before you go. You should also have a AAA or other roadside emergency service card with you as well as a charged cell phone. Fill your car up with gas before you leave.
- Just checking to make sure everything is cool before you get going is a great step to give you peace of mind before you head out.
-
3
Park your car in a safe location. Before you get out of your car, think about where you have parked. Is it well-lit, easy to see from the street? This is the best place to park if alone. Avoid parking in dark alleys or very far away from the door of your destination. Remember where you parked – this is very important. Mentally map your path to the door of the place you're going, take note of anyone on the street, and gather your things quickly.
- Upon leaving your car, check carefully that it is locked and you have left nothing enticing (like a laptop bag or an iPad) in plain view. Walk purposefully – do not meander – directly to the door and enter immediately.
- Lingering on the street is not a good idea, it allows potential attackers to see that you are alone. Keep anyone you noticed out on the street in your mind, and in the corner of your eye, if possible.
-

Walk down a well-lit path when you're on foot. Even if you're in a relatively safe neighborhood — and especially if you're not — you should find the most popular, well-lit street. If you're walking down a dark alley, or find yourself in the middle of a dim residential street, you're more likely to get robbed if there's no one around. A well-lit path will make it easier for you to see where you're going and it will keep criminals from coming your way. Here are some other things to do if you're on foot:
- Don't listen to your head phones or keep checking your text messages. Stay alert.
- Walk in the opposite direction of the flow of traffic so an abductor is less likely to put you in his car.
- Know exactly where you're going to leave the house. If you check your phone's map app every few minutes, you'll be making yourself an easy target.
- If you're out alone in the dark, it's not a good time to stop at an ATM.
-
5
Learn how to defend yourself. It's important to remember that you do not have to suddenly earn a black belt in karate or carry a knife around with you – but if you're generally confident when you go out alone, knowing that you can take care of yourself can reassure you greatly. Train your senses so you will feel like you can look after yourself – be more observant, so that you will know if something is about to happen.
- If you travel or live in [risky or dangerous areas, learn how to block punches, or think of how to avoid harmful incidents.
- Developing a more street smart attitude may seem silly, or pointless, but the simple knowledge that you can protect yourself will increase your confidence.
Hanging Out at Your Destination
-
1
Don't share too much personal information with a new acquaintance. Though making new friends is part of the fun of going out, you should avoid giving too much personal information to someone you just met, unless that person has been vouched for — like if she's the best friend of one of your best friends. But even then, be on the look out. Do not mention that you came alone. Say you are waiting for friends to arrive or someone is picking you up soon.
- If you meet someone you like, make plans to meet in a coffee shop, at a restaurant, or at an amusement park, rather than giving out your home address or place of work.
- Don't mention exactly where you live, even in passing.
- Giving out your cell phone number is okay if you want to. The main idea is that you take time to really know this person and get a feel for the real guy or girl, not just that first impression.
-
2
Be careful — but not paranoid. Remember that good people are like sunny days – there are lots of them. Just because you're being careful doesn't mean you need to be afraid that everyone is out there thinking about how to get one over on you. Be prepared – notparanoid. Remembering that there are more sunny days than days when lightning strikes is useful. Lightning is dangerous, maybe deadly – but rare.
-
3
Let people see you having a good time. If you want to stay safe and not make yourself a target, have a blast, whether you're with girlfriends or by yourself. People will be less likely to take advantage of you if you look like the life of the party instead of hanging out by yourself in the corner. And remember to relax once you're in a safe environment — you won't have a good time if you don't. Once you've reached your destination, settle in and resolve to have a good time, no matter what.
Getting Home
-
1
Take a taxi home if you're drunk. Remember that there is no designated driver – you're it. Be aware of what you are drinking. Do not leave your drink unattended for any reason. If someone buys you a drink, make sure you watch the bartender pour it. If you suspect your drink has been compromised, do NOT drink it. Don't get drunk! If you do get drunk, don't plan on going home without calling a taxi or relative to collect you.
- Just a reminder: if you're out completely alone, it's not not a good idea to get too drunk or someone will take advantage of you. But if you're walking out to meet friends, that's okay.
-
2
Quickly walk back to your car if you can drive home safely. Take a close read of the street and then go straight to your car, then home. Alone. If the guard or bouncer, or a group of other women you have met, offer to walk you to your car, take them up on it. At the very least, let someone know that you're going home now, and ask them to watch you till you get in your car.
- Take a look around – know who is on the street with you, and if you see an alley between you and your car, walk in the middle of the street if necessary to give yourself plenty of room to move if you need to.
- Walk purposefully and confidently to your car, and when you get there, have your keys ready and unlock the car as you are taking your last steps toward it. As you approach the car do a quick visual check that nobody is inside of it. Get in, lock the doors immediately, buckle up, start your car and drive away. Don't sit in your car fixing your make-up or fiddling with your iPad or texting someone – get going
