Do you know how to be street smarts? Whether you're walking to the school or to the bus, hanging out in the playground, or riding your bike in your neighborhood, being street smarts helps you stay safe.
When you're walking home from school, a person in a car stops and asks you for directions. At the park, someone says he needs you to help look for his lost dog. These people may seem friendly, but they're strangers. But some strangers can be dangerous, and it's impossible to tell who's OK and who's not.
If a stranger approaches(靠近)you and asks for help, don't help. Right away, you should walk the other way. If you're not near a safe place, try any store or restaurant. If you feel you're in danger, call for help.
If a stranger stops his/her car and offers you ride, don't get in. It's also important to avoid a stranger's car completely. Don't agree to come closer to see a pet or to get a toy that's offered. What if a stranger comes to pick you up from school, dancing lessons, or the park? Don't get in the car. There are lots of ways to find out kids' names.
Kids need to follow the rules of street smarts all the time with every stranger, even if the situation seems fine. No one will think that you are silly.
