Safety begins with understanding your surroundings and making informed choices. It’s good to be adventurous, but it’s even better to be cautious. Trust your instincts; if something feels off, take a step back and evaluate the situation. Always communicate with someone you trust about your plans, whether it’s a night out with friends or an online interaction. Communication with people you know and trust is key.
 
Building a network of friends who have your back is important too Surround yourself with positive influences who uplift and support you. Cyber safety is also a big deal, so be mindful of what you share online. Protect your privacy, and if you ever feel uneasy about an online interaction, talk to someone about it. Remember, you’re in control of your choices. Stay true to yourself and your well-being – you’re worth it!
