6 Things Your Friend Groups Should Do To Keep Each Other Safe

By Kate Warrington

1. Share Your Location
Technology can be both a gift and a curse, but when it comes to staying safe, we consider it a blessing. Sharing your location with your bestie is one of the top ways you can keep each other safe.

2. Check-In With One Another
Whether you share your location or not, an easy way to keep your friends safe is to check in with each other.

3. Use the Buddy System Even When You’re Flying Solo
In the age of dating on the apps, it can be exciting to finally meet someone in person. But no matter how many gifs you sent or how long you chatted back and forth, it can never hurt to share your plans with your BFF before the big night out.

4. Use a Safe Word
When you hear the term safe word, you may think of a word you’d use in the bedroom. Safe words can also help us signal danger to friends.

5. Be Honest, Even If It Means Being Vulnerable
Supporting our friends’ mental well-being is just as important as physical safety.

6. Don’t Be Afraid to Tackle Taboos
Talking openly can make sensitive topics less taboo and also help us to realize we’re not alone.
