Electricity can be just as dangerous as fire, and if you aren't paying attention, a shock can come without warning!
The best way to avoid shock is to pay attention to plugs and wires. Plug outlets should have their covers installed, and you should never use anything with a frayed cord or a loose, 'droopy' plug.
If you notice anything wrong with your outlets or power cords, let your parents know, so they can have a professional replace them.
