One piece of advice that we’ve given both kids is to spend money to keep safe: Do not hesitate to call a cab if they find themselves in a sketchy situation. Leave anywhere that feels unsafe. If friends are in danger, protect them too. They have an automatic ‘no questions asked’ from the parental unit, if they feel they need to do something to be safe or be a good friend - they just have to say to us, ‘I needed to leave. Please don’t ask me anything else.’ It has rarely happened, but when it’s come up, we were glad they knew that they had a choice.
