ALWAYS KEEP A KNIFE WITH YOU- Most of your friends, family and colleagues have suggested you to keep pepper spray or any electric device that can produce sound. But my suggestion is to keep a knife with you. This is the most effective instrument for safety. Students are suggested to keep paper cutter because they have sharp edge and very light to carry.

LONG NAILS- Some people laugh at this habit of girls but girls, you should keep your nails long. If you don't have any arm with you, your teeth and nails can help you, atleast for a short time. This short span of time can be life saving.

ATTACK ON CRITICAL PARTS- We can't avoid this fact that physically, at some aspects, girls are not stronger than boys but a little intelligence can help you.
