Don’t shout “Help!” when you’re being attacked.
Police won’t teach you this:
History has shown that shouting “Help!” often
gets you ignored because of the bystander effect.
When people hear “Help!”, most freeze. They try
to understand what’s happening first. And they naturally assume someone else will step in.
So no one does.
Do this instead:
Shout “FIRE! HELP!”
“Fire” signals a shared threat , a shared danger. It announces a crisis. People rush toward the sound to see where the fire is. “ Fire Help” brings witnesses fast, and scares off the predator.
