There has been an influx of robberies in my neighborhood.

They have begun coming into houses when the owners are inside. I am scared because i am a 16 year old girl that is often home alone and my house is quite big. What do I do if someone comes in? I mean I already have alarms and two doors on all entrances into the house but I am worried what I should do if they do get in. I wouldn't say I'd be totally useless in a fight, i'm 5'8 and quite muscular, however realistically, I know that up against a man of even my same height, I'd be absolutely useless. How do i make it out of this, and if it comes down to it, how do I fight a man (because i know a woman would probably not be robbing houses). I cannot own a firearm or shoot first because I live in canada, so that is not an option. I know I should hide and call authorities first. No turning on lights.

Anyone else terrified to run outside? got mugged and now i just can't

I've been on my treadmill for like a year now because i got mugged and i just. can't. go outside alone anymore. tried a few times, made it like two blocks, turned around. great.

The dumb part is i actually love running. Did anyone actually get past something like this? not looking for "you're so brave keep going" just actual stuff that helped. pepper spray? run clubs? certain times of day? idk i'm just tired of the treadmill

How do I properly defend myself

Someone I was good friends with for the last 4 years offered to buy me some food and we went out to the shopping centre. He said he had no money and forgot so we walked back, on the walk back he was silent and weird despite being friendly all day. He then kicked my knees and stomped on my head multiple times instead of using his fists like a man, I got one single hit off, wasn't a bad shot but I'd like advice on how to defend myself properly next time (I'm quite tall but not all there in weight)

Strobe light defense.... What???

I see this a lot with flashlights.

By simply turning on the strobe feature of a flashlight, you can disorient an attacker and flee to safety while said attacker is trying reorient himself and figure out what just happened. Seriously, unless your attacker has epilepsy, I'm pretty dang sure that a strobe light in the face of an attacker is only going to tick them off.

So, why does this continue to be a theme used as a selling point with some flashlights?

What’s better for self defence, a knife or hammer? And why?

I’m just asking this question because I’m curious what’s better, a hammer or knife because they both have their strengths and weaknesses.

Legal items to carry to a bar or club

Looking for weapons of opportunity. What i means is, what regular item can i carry that can be used for self defense that is not illegal to carry to a place specifically for drinking like a bar or club. An example would be a scarf, and they have that martial arts that uses a scarf. I was looking at stuff like that. Another example would be learning to throw chopsticks (like you would a knife). I know you all will ask so here it goes-> i am female and last time i was out too many dudes kept trying to get me outside. I literally dress like a ninja when i goto the club to freak people out to stay away from me. I LOVE when the security watches me closely because they think i will do something. To me thats like extra protection. Truth is i fear someone will do something to me, but i cannot live happy in a bubble. Just looking for more ideas like the ones i described above. If you think a different sub is more appropriate please let me know🙏🙏🙏🙏
