Ten Things Kids Can Do
To Stop VIOLENCE
- Settle arguments with words, not fists or weapons. Don't stand around and
forum an
audience when others are arguing. A group makes a good target for violence.
- Lean safe routes for walking in the neighborhood, and know good places to seek help.
Trust feelings, and if there's a sense of danger, get away fast.
- Report any crimes or suspicious actions to the police, school authorities, and parents.
Be willing to testify if needed.
- Don't open the door to anyone you don't know and trust.
- Never go anywhere with someone you don't know and trust.
- If someone tries to abuse you, say no, get away, and tell a trusted adult.
Remember, it's not the victim's fault.
- Don't us alcohol or other drugs, and stay away from places and people associated with
them.
- Stick with friends who are also against violence and drugs, and stay away from know
trouble spots.
- Get involved to make school safer and better, such as, having poster contests against
violence, holding anti-drug rallies, counseling peers, settling disputes peacefully.
If there's no program, help start one!
- . Help younger children learn to avoid being crime victims. Set a good example,
and volunteer to help with community efforts to stop crime.
