A TRUE STORY on the value of situational awareness, safety and self-defense training for teens, especially girls:
Imagine your daughter is at the mall with a friend. They are approached by three boys that look like they might be High School age. The boys start talking to the girls as if they 'know' them, creating a false sense of familiarity - "Hey, I've seen you around..." One girl giggles as the boy reaches out to touch her shoulder. The other girl, trained in self-defense, steps back to create space.
The boys and the one girl talk for a few minutes. In that conversation, the largest of the three boys suggests, on two seperate occasions that the girls come with him to his car. After touching the one girl several times on her arm and shoulder while talking to her, he finally says that he has some money in his car. He offers to buy the girls lunch if they want to come with him and his friends, to one of the fast food restaurants down the street...
The girl that he had been touching begins to shake her head 'yes' and starts to step forward. The other girl looks up at the boy and says, "How about if you just get lost?" The boy, confused, looks at her and says, "What did you just say?" The girl, without breaking her gaze simply states, "How 'bout you get lost, or I'll drop you where you stand..." The boy looks back at her, but because of her steadfast confidence and unwaivering attitude, he shrugs and says, "What's your problem?..." She doesn't move. He realizes he isn't going to get anywhere and says, "Whatever" in a disgusted tone, breaks off the conversation, and walks off with his friends...
Her friend gets angry with her. "What did you do that for? That was RUDE and he's CUTE!" she demands. The girl simply replies, "Do you KNOW him? Are you really going to get into a vehicle with someone you don't know? Do you WANT to be on the cover of tomorrow's newspaper as a rape victim or worse, a 'missing person'?..." The friend tells her, "You're just paranoid! That wouldn't have happened!"
She tells her friend that, "Over 90% of women that are abducted in a vehicle, don't come back alive..." She goes on to ask her friend if there was any good reason at all for him to suggest that they have to get into his car and go some place else to eat. There were plenty of places to eat at the mall...If he had any good intentions, he would have just backed off and apologized, if he really wanted to 'just be friends'. Her friend tries to tell her that all she had to say was, "NO," and that what she did say was rude. The girl replies, "You were ready to get into a car with someone you don't know. I couldn't let you do that. I'd rather be considered rude, than have you show up dead."
Does your daughter have that kind of self-assured confidence? I know one girl that does...and she trains with us in self-defense. She was only in 8th grade when this happened to her and her friend at a local Tucson mall...
