Always ring your parents if a friend wants to come round. They could have a specific reason for some one not to come round (like they'll tell that you are alone).
 If someone rings, tell them something like 'Dad's working and Mom's in the shower.' or just say, 'My parents are busy,' and don't answer any questions. Hang up and don't answer their number again. Or don't answer the phone at all unless you know the number.
 Call your parents if they don't leave, or even better the emergency number.


If someone comes into your home, run into a room with a lock, barricade the door with furniture, and dial your country's emergency number. If there is no way to barricade or lock a door in the case of an intruder, try to hide somewhere and keep deadly still.
