• Trust your instincts. If you feel like something is wrong, it probably is. Don't ignore your instincts.
• Take a self-defense class. Taking a self-defense class can teach you how to protect yourself in the event of an attack.
• Carry a weapon. If you are legally allowed to carry a weapon, consider doing so. A weapon can be a valuable tool for self-defense.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
