3. Spot a Trusted Helper — Knowing where trusted people are is part of calm situational awareness.
4. Keep a Public Way Out — Notice exits and well-used public routes before you need them.
5. Use a Direct No — A short, clear refusal can be enough: “No thanks, I’m not doing that.”
6. Suggest Something Safer — An alternative can redirect a group toward a safe or kind activity.
7. Move Toward Safe People — Choose a public place with safe people rather than becoming isolated.
8. Contact a Trusted Adult — Call or message an established trusted adult and explain where you are.
9. Tell What Happened — Tell a trusted adult even if the situation ended or you are unsure how serious it was.
10. Reach a Safe Destination — A practiced route ends with safety and support, not with handling everything alone.
