Creating Safer Schools

Here are some ideas how to make your school a safer place:

Settle arguments with words, not fists or weapons.

Report crimes or suspicious activities to the police, school authorities, or parents.

Learn safe routes for traveling to and from school, and know good places to seek help.

Don't use alcohol or other drugs, and stay away from places and people associated with them.

Get involved in your school's anti-violence activities - have a poster contests against violence, hold anti-drug rallies, volunteer to counsel peers. If there's no program start one.
