The teenage years are difficult ones, where personal safety is concerned.
No teenager wants to admit that they are frightened or scared, especially when many of the adults they mix with are telling them that these are the best years of their lives.
At the same time, teens struggle to balance an increasing desire for independence, with their overall lack of 'life experience' to safely navigate the adult world on their own.
As teens do develop more autonomy, they go a transition period from childhood to responsible adulthood - a transition that can pose many dangers along the way.
Teenagers today face aggressive and violent situations that may involve edged weapons and even guns, and almost certainly multiple assailants - their world is potentially a very scary place, or can quickly become one.
As parents and guardians, we have a duty to inform ourselves and the teenagers in our lives of the dangers they may face, and equip them with the necessary skills and tools to be able to navigate the oftentimes dangerous world they live in.
It is no good telling them about what it was like in our day, because the teenage violence of today differs greatly from that of the 60's, 70's and 80's.
Pinning this type of violence to a certain demographic or geography is a dangerous misconception; good middle class kids are at risk, as well as those that come neighborhoods lower on the socio-economic pecking order.
Access to guns, knives, alcohol, and drugs, combined with a culture of 'respect' -- where looking at somebody the 'wrong way' can result in violence -- is pretty much universal amongst all teenagers today (regardless of socio-economic factors).
Date/acquaintance rape isn't confined to any particular group - victims, as well as rapists, come from all walks of life.
We may like to think that certain crimes are only committed by adults, however today's teenagers are growing up faster than ever, and we need to acknowledge this.
Our teenage self-defense seminars deal with these issues head-on -- we don't aim to scare, but we do inform.
We cover subjects such as bullying, dispute resolution, sexual and relationship violence, etc, and teach teenagers how to identify, avoid and disengage from potentially dangerous situations.
We also teach physical solutions to aggression and violence, but present these as a last resort when all else fails.
We teach simple, effective, proven and realistic solutions to violence.
