What is Self-Defense?
Self-defense is what you use when someone makes you feel:
Uncomfortable
Afraid
Uneasy
Threatened
Self-Defense does NOT always mean “fight.”
Self-Defense also means run away, using words and screaming, and preventing yourself from being in a bad situation.
When you are with your family and/or friends
- Stay in the group. Bad guys like to get you away so it’s easier to take you.
- If you get lost, look for an adult female for help. An adult female with children is even better.
- Do NOT engage in speaking with an adult you don’t know. Do not get close to the adult. Use distance as your defense by running away.
