Answer 2

Go to the national sex offender website at http://www.nsopr.gov/
It will be able to tell you about known sex offenders near your house. Get familiar with their faces, especially the ones marked predator. Stay away from these people and show these pictures to your parents as well. Tell your school about the site as well.

If someone you don't know is near you and you feel uncomfortable leave. If you feel cornered scream I would rather you be wrong and emmbarrassed then right and not do anything.

Try to do as many things as possible with friends.

Take a self defense class if possible, I recently heard of a little girl who kicked the **** out of someone who was trying to kidnap her. She had taken a kick boxing class. And because of it she is alive today. Maybe you can talk our school into sponsering a defense class as part of P.E..

When you are walking down the street NEVER have more than one earbud in your ears. You need to hear your surroundings, the person walking behind you is more important than any song you may be listening to at the moment.

Most importantly tell your parents about your fears.

First of all, realize that fear, and many other negative emotions, really are something you feel, I mean in the physical sense--anger, fear, and deep sadness all take a good deal of their weight in terms of which muscles they constrict, and in terms of the body language that expresses them--for example, hunching your shoulders is an instinctive sign of submission that in fact restricts your breath and actually does put you at a subtle set of disadvantages--so, identify where in your body you are physically feeling your fear--especially ask in this order, how it affects your bretahm your heart rate, and how you use your vision and hold your head generally.

This is why those "three deep breaths" can be so valuable--once you are aware of how you are cutting off your breath and find a way to stand straight and breath normally--not all of your fear but the worst part of it will dissolve.

Another big part of emotion is associational--feelings invest meanings in objects and symbols etc. that would not be there for someone who felt differently and who had different experiences associated with the associated percepta--if you take a step back, you can probably recognize some object, situations, etc, that specifically trigger the fear--take what advice you can form these associations--it's worth-while noting that crossing by that doorway you never noticed could expose you to danger--but then take charge of the associations that do make sense by positive decisions about how to use them--and dismiss the ones that don't make a great deal of sense once you put them into words and possible decisions.

But besides how we feel emotions in our body and how we tie them to things we notice but don't concentrate on--a certain amount of the emption really is that emotion, itself, with your body relaxed and your perceptions analyzed. Accept the part of the feeling that is left over. It is part of being human.

Fear is the minds way of trying to help protect the body. But you can not let fear control your life. Find ways through the school to help. Fear can encourage us to do something about the situation. So do something. Get involved with others who want to do something. Post notes for meetings to discuss what can be done to help in community safety. There are police programs that can help also. Do not surrender to the fear, use it. Good luck.

Answer 5

Now that there is protection for the students, maybe you can relax a bit. Never talk to strangers, under any circumstance. Run away quickly. Never walk anywhere alone. There is safety in numbers.

Answer 6

Be smart, aware, and prepared! I always had keys on me, so I kept them between my fingers incase anyone got too close, I'd scratch their eyes out. Also carry a whistle with you, that'll scare anyone away and attract attention. Mase is handy when you're in a situation. Don't walk alone, hang out with a buddy, never by yourself!

The world is getting worse, just be on guard and don't allow yourself to get into a situation.

Answer 7

You can't walk with that kind of fear at your feet. Two reasons-it'll wear you out before your time and whomever did this and whomever may do it later FEED on that type of fear. You have to walk with caution - knowing your surroundings - but keep your confidence that you're protected...by whom? Pray and find out. You can do it!

Answer 8

I would talk to the Principal and Guidance Counselor about this. Hopefully they'll have an assembly to discuss what happened. And I would also talk to your parents. They love you, and will do the best they can to protect you.

Answer 9

Pray to Jehovah God through Jesus Christ. Talking to Jehovah in prayer is a great encouragement for us. Talk to God about your fears and get specific and Jehovah will help you :O)

Answer 10

I watch the Glenn Beck show every evening on CNN. He tells us what we should be fearful of and what we should not.
