This little scenario should serve to teach you three very important things : real life is nothing like in flims : never walk alone at night , whether you are a man or a woman : and most importantly use your bain and not your body to defend yourself against an attacker. Staying safe is all about not putting yourself in a potentially dangerous situation. Avoid a potential attack before it happens by using your common sens. This means don't go out alone at night , stay in well-lit areas , make sure someone always know where you are , be aware of your surroundings at all times , walk with confidence and carry a mobile phone with you at all times. Basically don't make yourself a taget. Attackers look for people who are vulnerable.
