Do you feel safe at school? This is a question that is often overlooked by many. Girls who wear shorts are “asking for it”, girls who wear a lot of makeup are “fake”, and girls who have guy friends are “players”. These are all stereotypes that sometimes interfere with safety. No matter where you are or who you are with, you should always feel safe. Below are very highly recommended safety tips and tools that every female teen should have.
