You have been learning about specific strategies for keeping safe and not becoming a target, at school, on the street and on the Internet. We have talked about staying alert, walking with confidence, dating abuse, sexual assault, internet safety, sexting, and password safety. SARSSM also spoke to you about sexual assault. This included a lesson focusing on stereotyping, the victim as well as the rapist. The perpetrator is always responsible, not the victim. You learned about the importance of supporting the victim not the perpetrator. We often tend to let our emotions lead us instead of common sense. We need to listen to our instincts. If it doesn't feel or seem right, it probably isn't. Remember it takes the average person at least three minutes to figure out what to do in a crisis situation and by that time he/she could be a statistic. It is important to have a plan. I am hoping that you now have a plan. CommentsBob Crowley Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:24:10 I think that people should be aware of their surroundings and should always be prepared, for example: You should always have a plan when you go somewhere where you think there could be a potential for danger and a plan could help you know what you're going to do.

Ryan Wellington Ely Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:29:33 I think that having a plan will help you in a bad situation because it will allow you to know what to do and not be panicked. On the physical side on the health triangle, this could help you not get harmed or hurt physically because you will know what to do if you are attacked by an abuser. This will also help you with the mental and emotional side of the triangle because you won't feel unsafe and you will feel a lot more confident with yourself. This helps you with social health because you would be able to say no to somebody if they were harming you and hopefully they would have good social health and listen to you if you don't want to do something.

The Baller Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:39:28 I think that having a plan will help you not become a statistic and allow you to successfully help others in their time of need. If you have a plan when someone tries to assault you will be able to react in a time of panic and allow you to get away safely and get the police or another adult or authority figure. Having a plan can help you with your mental and emotional because if you were ever raped that is really hard to recover from and having a plan would prevent that. Also, if you have a good plan you will have a plan to avoid drugs and alcohol which would keep you away from unnecessary risks and allow you to think clearly in a crisis situation. It will also allow you to be socially healthy because when you are in a crisis situation you will need all the communication skills you already have.
