Stay away from strangers!
During the neophytes’ time, almost everybody is totally strangers around the environment. But, university life will jail someone to boredom without getting to know other people. More than that, strangers outside the school is more alarming than people inside. However, there were already crime incidents and abuses that resulted to death.
In this issue of The NORSUnian, let’s define, understand, and orient ourselves with the danger that is accompanied to meeting and conversing with people we barely even know because not everyone is good to befriended especially ‘strange’ strangers. So let us know, define, and understand danger with strangers. Bear in mind these reminders…
Who is a stranger?
Basically a stranger is someone you don't know, whether man or a woman. If you have never met them in real life, they are a stranger. Although there are kind strangers, some strangers are not always kind and some can even hurt you.
A stranger who is not kind does not have to look scary, physically. They can be good looking, clean, and well dressed. There is no way to tell if someone is good just by looking at them. Bad people can pretend to be nice to try to fool someone. Just stay away from them.
Strangers can be your neighbor, your board mate, and even your classmate. They can be of any kind or come from any group. They are just around you.
Don’t talk to strangers
You’re big enough, but still, ignore people you don’t know. Do not look at them or acknowledge that they have spoken to you. Walk quickly or run away from them. Go in the opposite direction as fast as you can.
Go somewhere or go to someone you know or to an area that has a lot of people. Just go inside the school. Tell an adult you can trust about what happened, like a parent, an instructor, a landowner, a police officer or some other grownup your parents said you can talk to.
Alone at home
Just keep all the doors and windows locked and don't let anyone know you are home alone. If someone rings your doorbell or knocks the door, look through a peephole or window to see who it is. If you do not recognize them, don't open the door.
Even if they are saying it is an emergency and they need to use to phone or come inside, do not open the door. They can go to somewhere else to ask help. If someone calls and asks for your parents, do not tell them you are home alone.
People are welcome in your home or even in the boarding house but remember what your landlady or landlord and your parents told you, not to allow anybody to get in the house especially in your room. They might just be pretenders and even rob your things.
Strangers’ tricks
Strangers who are bad people and want to hurt you have developed some pretty tricky things to do to confuse you and get you alone with them. There is a stranger that will ask you to help them find a lost item or maybe asks you for directions to get somewhere. See his harmless enough right? That is what they want you to think. Instead, turn and walk away.
Another trick, a stranger will tell you that there is an emergency in your family and your mom or dad asked them to get you. The stranger may even say that your mom or dad got hurt. Think straight. Your mom or dad would never send a stranger to tell you news like this. Just don’t bother.
There are also strangers that lay on the ground and looks like they have been injured and unconscious or in pain. The desire to help this person is big and of course you might want to help. Do not go over to the person. They can grab you and take you away. Instead, go to someone you know and tell them about the situation or ask some other people’s help.
And there is a stranger that promises you money or something else of interest. People do not give gifts to people they do not know. This is only a trick. Once the stranger has you alone you are going to be hurt. Just refuse the offer.
Keep the following in mind: always tell your parents where you are going, try not to walk anywhere alone, don't take shortcuts at the back street or empty lot and do not pass to vacant alleys, make sure you have room to run, don't tell your name or address to a stranger, never get into a car with anyone you don't know, if a stranger follows you or grabs you, yell real loud to get some help, and never open the door to a stranger.
People who look friendly are not always nice. Strangers can also be a friend but just check who you are befriending at. Norsunians will do but unfamiliar persons outside cannot be. Be aware, be safe, and be cautious!
