How do you avoid getting jumped?

To avoid getting jumped, stay aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts—if a situation feels off, leave the area. Avoid isolated places, especially at night, and try to stay in well-lit, populated areas. If confronted, try to de-escalate the situation verbally and remain calm. Lastly, consider self-defense training and having a plan for emergencies, such as knowing the nearest exits or safe spaces.
