I was watching the news today and to my horror I heard a story about a young girl who was brutally attacked and raped while walking home.  I feel like every time I turn on the news there’s another story about a woman being abused or raped.  It’s so sad that we can’t even walk around our own neighborhood anymore without constantly looking over our shoulder to make sure we’re safe.  I’ve been seriously considering taking some self defense classes to teach me some moves in case I ever need them. (God forbid I ever have to use them though.)  I don’t think we need to be paranoid about it, but we should definitely be smart and not put ourselves in vulnerable situations.  We need to know the right way to react in a scary situation like this and the wrong way so we don’t make critical mistakes.
