help prevent yourself from being in a trapped and scary situation, always let someone know where you are and who you are with at all times. especially on dates with new people. always have a first date with someone you have met before with friends. go on the date in a public place. if you still feel uncomfortable ask to meet at a location with your own car. if things start to go bad don't hesitate to leave or make a scene. if you find yourself stuck in a violent relationship ask a good friend or family member to help you get out of it. set up a code word that you text to this person when you are being hurt. this might mean they contact police or come get you. just get yourself out of those situations.
