How can I stay safer when walking home alone at night?

Stay aware of your surroundings and avoid wearing headphones or being distracted by your phone.
Stick to well-lit and busy areas, and avoid shortcuts through dark or isolated areas.
Let someone know your route and expected arrival time, so they can check on you if you don't arrive on time.
Consider carrying a personal safety alarm or whistle to attract attention if you feel threatened.
If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, trust your instincts and cross the street or seek help from a nearby business or residence.
Consider taking a self-defense class to feel more confident and prepared in case of an attack.

ALSO
I ALWAYS CARRY A TOY LIGHTSABER THAT I CAN OPEN RLLY QUICKLY
BELIEVE ME IF U HIT SOMEBODY WITH IT
IT HURTS
ESPECIALLY IF ITS COLD OUT

Carry a gun and be aware of your surroundings. Keep your pace brisk. Stay in the light and near groups of people, preferably women. Keep your head forward. Keep your headphones out of your head and your phone out of sight. Don't stop if someone tries to talk to you.

Use a torch, carry pepper spray, walk in a bold way, if someone approaches you take phone and pretend you’re talking to someone or really call someone and tell then your location

I would try not to walk alone or if you must then carry pepper spray for self defense. Also, learn some basic self defense techniques like how to knee a guy in the groin.
