@FayeSanchez957 i am so sorry to hear about that and that i reply so late. I think the best rhing to do right now is talking to the people who are closest to you over there and maybe install apps that could track each others phones. It was never that bad for me, but my best friend and I always had each others lication in case that something happens. It of course doesnt help with the overall problem, but it at leadt gives you a bit of mental peace.
Other than that the only thing that i could recommend is reading in the news where those people went missing and at what time (e.g. only in the night or dawn etc.) And idk if it is allowed where you live, but maybe carry pepper spray around with you. Again does not help with the problem, but gives you security
I hope it will get better soon! I am using Wattpad more now, so if you want to write again, i promise that i will reply faster.
All the best!
