It may seem obvious but speak to a trusting adult, other family or friends to see if they can help you resolve the situation.

Make sure the place you’re going to stay is safe and warm.

Make sure someone (friends) knows where you are, in case anything happens.

If you do leave make sure you have a full battery on your phone, food and something to drink

If you do leave, make sure you have a full battery on your phone, food and something to drink.”
