Short messages on Personal safety issues from Respect Yourself, the guidance site for young people to help make good decisions in life.
In the UK, 78,460 road accidents in 2013 were caused by driver/rider error: poor manoeuvring, failing to look properly and failing to judge another person’s path or speed.
Be yourself – whoever you are, however you feel, whatever life has thrown at you. If things are tough, talk about it. Samaritans can be reached on 08457 90 90 90 or jo@samaritans.org .
In the UK, 20% of road accidents in 2013 were caused by the driver/rider being careless, reckless, in a hurry or through aggressive driving.
Anyone can suffer from domestic abuse.
That’s the key message being voiced by organisations across Norfolk in a week long campaign taking place next week. (more…)
If you have an adverse reaction to any drugs, seek medical attention immediately. Be honest with medical staff about what you have taken so they can best treat you. If you’re with friends/in a group, stick together and help each other out.
If the police find you in possession of a Legal High, they will treat you as if the drug is illegal – which often means arresting you. The drug will be analysed and if found to contain an illegal drug, you will be prosecuted. If it contains a legal drug, then there are no charges.
Long-term health risks for Legal Highs are unknown; they are new and haven’t been safety tested. They are totally unregulated, and 1 in 5 contains an illegal drug.
Nobody has the right to abuse you. You may be made to feel responsible and guilty for the abuse, but the source of the problem is the abuser, not you.
The Domestic Violence and Relationship Abuse project supports children and young people age 4 -18 years in an abusive relationship or who have been affected by domestic violence in the home.
Domestic violence threats are threats made within the context of an abusive relationship – threatening harm to themselves or to someone else like family or friends.
