whats wrong with the world today?i mean a girl cant walk alone anymore these day

its only that due to overpopulation the corruption is increasing. now-a-days people get more corrupted and psychic by watching tv. the media is to be blamed to some extent. charity is no longer beginning at home.

If it EVER happens again, turn and yell at him! Men like that like to keep hidden and follow girls thinking they are unnoticed. Generally, just confronting them with a very loud "Why are you following me?" is enough to get others noticing and will scare him off. The last thing they want is a witness.

yah, its really scary. when i was living in france, i had these 2 guys follow me halfway home...and it was in the middle of the day too! they were sitting at a cafe when they noticed me walking by, so they both got up and started following me. all this time, they were saying things to me and trying to get my attention but i kept ignoring them because i knew what they wanted. i tried to walk faster but then so did they. at one point we were supposed to cross the street, so i let them cross first..and then i crossed behind them. they started walking the other direction towards the train station but then saw me walking the other way towards the tunnel, so one of the guys literally started running after me and shouting at me. i was sooo scared, so i called my friend freaking out..and told her to call the police if something happened. after a while, he stopped running after me...and went the other direction, but i was so scared!

of course as women we always have to be on guard and notice things like that. if he started to get close to me i would have started yelling out "is there something i can help you with" or "are you following me" and of course its nice to learn some self defense moves. it also depends on what area you're in. some areas i feel safe walking on my own, some places i don't. but it is something that it pretty scary. women just have to be on guard because people tend to think we're easy targets. thank god you got home safely, just next time, be more prepared. =)

I think yous hould have yelled at the guy or complained about it to the polie station. This matter could have possibly been worse. A girl is not safe in the world today and should not go alone specially in isolated areas. I think you should make it a point not to go alone in dark areas as these areas are the most susceptible.

I don't think it will ever stop,this is the reality that all women face these days. I understand your predicament not having time or transport, the best is to get yourself some pepper spray, even ordinary deodorant spray will do, but that you normally keep in your bag, and you don't want to fiddle to much, pepper spray you can attach it to your wrist accessible in seconds

Today's world is all corrupted and physical desires have grown very much high...in this era i think its better if u be careful while travelling alone late in the night...better take a company of someone if not possible do inform ur dear ones that u've started home nd update where u are to keep urself tracked...sometimes this might keep the stranger away from u too...also i advise u to learn martial arts to protect urself!!

Yes, I have had this happen when I was in my early teens. I was with two of my sisters. We were chatting and walking home from the store. When a guy on a motorcycle stopped in front of us and said something to us. We all three ran..But were chased. We did end up loosing him. As we ran through yards and hid in a friends garage til we thought he was gone.

This is was the same since the ages but never have you observed in this modern world because you have taken into shape yet.. but now you have and you know what it is you get a question of this sort. You cannot do anything about it this is how the chemistry works between men and women and because of which the world is growing. But ofcourse these incidents have been on growing spree which have to controlled only through quality counselling and nothing else.. and one more thing that girls be alert of these things and always have an alternate solution to protect yourself.

Yes this is happening every where in the world in all societies in all cultures in all groups of life. its why because we are going so far from humanities. Our Media, our thoughts, our needs, our thinkings, and our decisions are making us so bad. Our Media is improving all this, our thoughts about women is being changed, we say that this is modern world but we are behaving with women like dark ages. But one thing you know there is no security for women in any religion but in the ISLAM. ISLAM gives the total security for women in life. thats why only in USA women are becoming Muslim more then MEN. This is Universal Truth if you cant believe it you can read the teaching of ISLAM about women. You will Find it more better then any religion. In all Muslim Cultures there is no Old Homes for any Old men or women.( but for those old people who dont have children ). Why is this, Because we really care our families and we know the importance of Women in our Families, and in our lives. for example ___ ISLAM says that " Heaven is in the feet of Mother ". You know that we gave full respect to our mother and we are not allowed to talk in loud voice before Mother. ISLAM gives more respect to Women then any other religion. I said all this because its true. i don't want to blame any one. ISLAM teaches to respect all religions of the world.

As a female, one should always be aware of their surroundings. Men don't even have to think about these things. I was almost abducted from a roller rink as a child. I have twice been exposed to by strangers as a teen-ager just walking home from somewhere. I had one man follow me into a ladie's room (luckily my boyfriend saw this). Another followed me all around the mall until I got a security escort to take me to my car. Another one followed me and my girlfriend to my car where I quickly pushed the power locks and then he started to pound on it; we never even saw him until we were getting in the car! This was all in the days before cell phones which I think every female should have now! Always keep your cell phone in your hand while walking to your car and such so you can quickly dial assistance. Also, in your case, you could have turned around and snapped this guy's picture and loudly stated 'quit following me!' This alerts anyone within ear shot that you are in potential danger and your follower will know you can produce a picture of him.

Fortunately, this has never happened to me. I would try to carry pepper spray in case this happens again in the future. Try to walk around with another person since it seems like people walking alone are a bigger target. Also, if you feel nervous or scared, call a friend on your cell phone to let them know where you are.

I have a 21 year old sister who guys seem to find attractive. I suggest that you wear clothes revealing the minimum amount of skin because perverts are turned on by virtually everything. Next... always carry pepper spray with you and know how to use it. U never know when it may come in handy. Also if in close combat or assaulted from behid... stamp on the assailant's foot with your heel, kick them in the shins and knees and elbow them in the guts. Go for biting and scratching if only desperate as these tend to increase your panic levels. I hope my information has been helpful to all the girls and ladies here. Cheers Raghav

i think its more to the fact that the world is moving in a all together different direction. if u look at tow generations back, there was less number of divorces, more commitment to relationship and you wouldn't see girls going out in the night late. Life is changing, people are becoming more insecure, and more things like this has to be expected.

I had a discussion 2 days ago where I tld the story about my brother beeing beaten up by 4 guys for no reason at all. The world is a dangerous place and I have no idea how we can change this =(

Present times are getting scarier by the hour. Being only 16 does make you an easy prey. The sure thing you can do is never walk alone, especially at dark. Arm yourself with self defense devices like pepper spray. If something like that would happen again, walk in a crowded place and ask for help.
