~Yeah!

- ONLY IF:

- u dont talk to strangers

- u tell yur parents u are running

- u kno how to get home

- (maybe if) u have a phone nearby

- u gotta have water!

Good luck!

It depends.

If there are a lot of people around the area where you'll be running, you should be safe.

If it's deserted, maybe not - you should try and find a buddy to run with.

In any case, you should always make sure somebody knows where you are - so if anything does happen, they'll be able to let the cops know you might be in trouble.

But, don't let fear stop you from working out - your health is far too important!

unfortunately it isn't safe for a young girl to run alone anywhere suburbs or not. My advice is to find a jogging partner. To many young girls your age dissappear close to home. You wouldn't want your family to go through the agony of not knowing where you are or if you are still alive. Find a partner or better yet a group to run with it is more fun and lots safer.

sad but true I dont do that alone and i am 32 and live in the country. I have a big dog ( my baby) to come with me.

When I have went alone I tell someone were I am going and the way I plan on going and do not change the route, how long will you be etc

it sure isnt fair is it ... dumb creepy people we as woman have to watch out for

also do you have a cell phone? bring thatg or your parents. be careful and always always trust your gut feelings ... if it ever feels wrong dont do it !

Unless you live in a war zone somewhere (which you don't), the risk of something happening to you is infinitesimal. It's certainly outweighed by the health risks you'd run by not exercising. Way to go, don't be another one of these couch potatoes!

i hope, for your sake, that it is.

surburbs shouldn't be too bad, but if i were you i would cut your run down a bit and try to get back before dark.

good luck and well done for keeping fit! hehe

not safe

ur gonna get kidnapped

yep

well its deapened where u stay
