 School is hard enough
without having to worry if
you will be safe on your
way or while you're there.
Follow this advice on how
to start the school year
safely.
 Find an easy way to
walk to school or the bus
stop. Ask parents if there
is anything that should be
watched out for along the
way. Always walk with a
brother, sister, neighbor
or friend.
 Don't talk to strangers,
go anywhere with them
or take anything from
them. Know your tele-
phone number and ad-
dress, even the area code
and zip code. If you have
trouble remembering


them, write them down
and keep them in a safe
place.
 If staying at home alone
for a few hours after
school while parents are at
work, call and check in
with them as soon as you
get home. Ask parents
what the rules
are. Are you
allowed to
watch TV be-
fore you finish


your homework? Or have
ice cream as a snack?
 Most teachers have their
own rules for what goes
on in their classroom but
there are a few other
things that should be re-
membered when in class.
 If another kid, even a
 friend, asks you
^ to do something
 you don't want
 to, don't do it. If
 you get into an


argument, talk it out.
Fighting will hurt you
and will probably get you
in trouble. It may even
give you a reputation as a
bully.
 Know that tattling is
very different from
telling. Tattling gets
someone into trouble and
telling gets someone out
of trouble. It's always
okay to tell.
 If anything bothers you
 or makes you feel weird,
 like a fight with a friend,
 a run-in with a bully, or
 anything else, talk to an
 adult you trust.
 Study hard. You can be
 anything you want to be
 if you work hard and
 don't give up.
