Safety. In a perfect world, everyone would be safe all the time: in the car, at home, at school, and online. Well, we all know the world's not perfect.

You can stay safe if you use some safety smarts. This book offers nitty-gritty advice on staying safe. You'll discover: • how to recognize and avoid dangerous places and people. • how to stand your ground against bullies and other bad guys. • how to defend your home, your computer, and your own body from attackers. • where to turn for help if you're feeling threatened. • where to turn for help after an attack.
