Never Enter into a Relationship with a Stranger

Take care when entering a into relationship with a stranger. A stranger could refer to a new student in school or a recently hired employee. A stranger could be anyone regardless of sex. If you met someone new and do not know much about them, they should be considered to be the stranger your mother warned your about. Do not trust anyone until you know more about them, and even then, proceed with caution.

Strangers Prowl Skating Rinks

Beware of any girl or guy who you have never seen at the skating rink, especially if they become overly friendly. Strangers haunt the stating rinks to gaze at skaters who wear sexy short skating outfits. They might approach you in a friendly manner and act as if they have met you before. This is a rouse to meet you. This might be a red light danger sign. Immediately walk or skate away. If they become persistent, contact the rink manager. He will know how to take care of the situation.

Take Care When Walking The Mall Alone or With Friends

I have worked in a store in the Mall. I have seen teenage girls standing around flirting with guys prowling the Mall. They giggle and smile and turn and twist but never think of the danger they might be getting into. Safety is the issue especially if they offer to drive you home. Remember what your mother told you when you were little - Beware of Strangers. The same applies more now that you are older. Never get into a strangers car!

Be Wary of the New Guy on the Block

Being new in the area, or living in the house next door does not make the new guy on the block trustworthy. If you see him out walking it is proper to welcome him to the neighborhood. However, do not tell him your life's history or that of your family. Keep in mind that everyone is to be considered a stranger until you know them for an extended period of time.

Do Not Befriend a Total Stranger

Never get over-friendly with strangers. Do not tell them your telephone phone number or give out personal information about your family. This specifically refers to their their work hours, workplace, impending vacation plans, departure date, or when they will return home. Burglars thrive on this type of information. it makes your home an easy target for them to rob.

A similar warning applies to those you chat with on the Internet. Strangers usually pose as friends. They listen to you intently while learning about things that cause you pain. Regardless of what they tell you, they are not your friends. Do not meet them or telephone them. If they insist, tell them you are not allowed - shut down the computer-and walk away. Do not talk to them again.
