it was an absolute shock hearing the news abt the rape of the teenager.All i have 2 say is tht girls have 2 have their own self defending tactics.in my view girls should learn martial arts and those who can't afford it must carry atleast one sharp instrument viz pen knife and try 2 protect themselves in every possible way.whilst alone they should b accompanied by guys as well as girls.in other words they should b in a grp.
