As someone who used to walk home alone from school every day, I can take comfort in all of the things that could’ve happened but never did.

I feel so bad for the person involved in the hit and run. Sounds like they developed ptsd and didn't see a therapist immediately after. I can't imagine how scary it must have been.

My heart goes out to the guy who got attacked by the woman living in the abandoned restaurant. That really is a stigmatized thing to talk about, and I’m glad he was able to find help/some kind of closure later on.

I wish my wife would listen to the stories. Shes has a stalker story. An abusive ex saga. I try to get her to write them down. I've heard enough people say it was cathartic for them. Heck her the therapist she used to see said to do the same. She never pays attention to her surroundings. She recently took a weekend trip by herself. I told her to take her knuckle dusters, but now they were too illegal. Im like its all about where you have them if you're caught with them. If you're a lone female I feel like a cop would understand the circumstances for protection. So I gave her a good pocket knife. Explained the blade was for slashing/ cutting, if she had to stab a creeper in a reststop it'd be ok to leave it. Let an officer retrieve it. Ladies and gents, please always be aware of your surroundings. Driving, walking, whatever. Listen to your instincts. Flight is fine, if fight is your option, fight for your life, go for the eyes, nose, throat, groin. Where ever you know it'll hurt them enough to make them stop trying to get you. Normally I keep my .45 for being on guard on road trips. But she wouldn't take a fire arm. But I still feel situational awareness is crucial. Also don't be afraid to call 911. If your scared there's may be a legit reason. All I can say is that everyone is valued and loved by someone even if they don't think they are. Try to avoid putting yourself in sketchy situations. I feel like I'm just repeating myself. So I'll stop just know we're all here for some reason. I just turned 40. I still don't know mine. Some learn earlier. Take care yall and watch yourselves out there.

Story 7 is exactly why, even as an avid dog lover, I do not fault anyone who is legitimately terrified of them. Yes, by and large they are absolute beacons of love and affection and they definitely earned the moniker of man's best friend, but they are still descended from (and to an extent still are) predators and all it takes is a lack of proper socialization or even full-on mistreatment to turn a furry friend into a fearsome foe. Hell, in certain circumstances they can flip from happy, friendly cuddlebugs to concentrated fang-baring aggression in an instant, though one may hope that mostly only happens if their loved ones being threatened.

I feel bad for the boy who was assaulted. Sexual assault can happen to boys too and it can be just as devastating.

Walking home alone tips: Walk with purpose. Head up, shoulders back, and don't show an ounce of fear, even if you're terrified. You got places to be - safely, and make sure you walk like it. (Mace, Stabby Kitties or another keychain "weapons" are always a great idea to have in case. Of anything.) Unless you're calling the cops or someone to talk you home, don't look at your phone and keep your guard up. Again, don't look scared and looking all about like a scared doe. Use your intuition (and I have to put this here because I've legit heard "I don't believe in intuition! I'm too logical and no bs for that." -not in this video, obviously. Yeah. Uh. Intuition is your instincts, use them, hone them. You have them for a reason.) Listen to them, and learn to use your peripherals. Animals/dogs? Mace works on them too, btw. Never underestimate ANYONE. I don't care what you know, how big and buff you are, it really doesn't matter. It really doesn't. Someone tries to grab you from behind? Let's them, then SING. (Miss Congeniality with Sandra Bullock.) Elbow to the solar plexus, stomp on their instep, then other elbow to their nose, then a swift kick to the groin. SING. Solar plexus, instep, nose, groin. Another is either elbow to kidney, and if they try to get on top, move your legs and wrap them around their waist and squeeze. They'll run out of breath before you do. (See Goldeneye if you need a visual.) Can't help you from creepy vampires. But, mace probably hurts them too. 🤷🏽‍♀️ When all else fails or you want the night to take a more fun turn for you, act insane. Screaming about the second coming of Christ, or Satan, whatever, start hissing and chanting like you're casting a spell and always laugh. The creepiest laugh you can, screaming about God, Satan, "casting spells", whatever crazy is your weapon, add rapid and intense emotional switching. Screaming in rage one second to hysterical laughter in the next that loops into more screaming. It's your life on the line, so don't worry about pomp and circumstance here. Bodily fluids? Let em fly, friends. Ladies, literally anything you use for your period becomes a bioweapon. (I personally have never done this, but I have seen it done. Very effective.) Gross, some of it, sure. But I'd rather go home and shower off than whatever humans think they can do to me. I'm not saying I've won every fight, no, not at all. But momma raised a mean b*tch who will always go down swinging. Stay safe, folks. ✌️

That poor father. It doesn't matter who you are, you don't deserve to be abused
