Home Safety??!
Question: I'm 11 years old. When my mom leaves me home alone sometimes I get kind of scared. Don't give me the "Go with your mom instead of staying home" crap. I just want ways that I can feel less alone. Please help me. I'm a bit of a wimp.

First, make sure all the doors and windows are locked. Next, I would try to watch TV, listen to the radio, watch a video, or talk on the phone (local). There is nothing wrong with feeling scared and alone. Even as adults we can feel the same way you do. Don't worry about what others say, what matters is how you feel inside. Maybe a friend over or a next door neighbor would help, even a pet. You didn't mention anything about a sibling in the house maybe that would help. Sometimes staying in one room and not wondering around the whole house might help. The house won't seem as big that way. You might want to close your bedroom door and stay there and keep a picture of your mom deside you until she gets home.
turn ont he television or the radio. Get busy, have a pet with you.
talk on the phone to a friend. You are way too young to be home alone and too young to be on this site BTW.
watch television or talk on the phone with a friend. you should not be alone at your age either.
