Do you know how to protect yourself ? Remember the following six ways of information , and then you'll be much safer at school and in your daily life .
1 If you are at home by yourself , don't open the door to anyone else .
2 Keep your eye on the environment around you . Mkae sure where the public phones are or bring a mobile phone . If anything dangerous happens , you can ask for help quickly .
3 When taking a bus , put your school bags in front of your bodies instead of on your backs . When buses are crowded , it is easy enough for thieves to steal the things in the bag on your back ; don't use earphones , or you will keep yourself from the outside world and can easily get into trouble .
4 If you are followed by a stranger , cross the street and go in the other direction .
Let the stranger know that you know he or she is there . Next , get help from others if it is necessary . Don't go home directly . You are safer in the street than you are in your home or in a lift .
5 Don't talk to the strangers . If you have to take a bus to a place far away , try to get to the stop only a few minutes before the buses leave . This prevents a stranger from studying you . On buses , don't sit alone . You should sit behind the driver or with friends . Don't sleep .
6 Don't smoke or play with matches or candles , because it may cause fire . If your house catches fire and you have to escape through smoke , cover your mouth with the towel and move on your hands and knees with your head 30 to 60 centimeters above the floor . Please remember there is cleaner and cooler air near the floor during the fire .
