Tips to THINK SAFE

Could YOU stay cool if you were at the mall, a party, or the movies and found out that while you went to the bathroom someone was hitting on your date?

  1. Count to ten, slowly. Stay calm. Think of something else.
  2. Think about the consequences. "If I push back, they will get their friends, I will get mine, and it will be a fight. Then, I will/could get in trouble with teachers, suspended, or hurt."

Tips to BE SAFE

Could YOU stay cool if you were at the mall, a party, or the movies and found out that while you went to the bathroom someone was hitting on your date?

  1. Talk it out. Say how you feel. "I don't want to fight. I can't afford to get in any more trouble."
  2. Keep it light. If you act angry, you will make it worse. Try joking about the situation (and not the person). "You don't want to touch me today man, I woke up late and haven't showered."
  3. Get Away, Get Safe. Walk away, back-off, leave, talk to a friend, go to class. Say "I'm out of here."
