MILLS, Judge.

The issue in this appeal is whether the trial court erred when it failed to find that Hendrix, the plaintiff ‍​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‍below, was guilty of comparative negligence as a matter of law for running in the dark in a strange and unfamiliar area. The record ‍​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‍shows, however, that this issue was never raised below. Issues not presented to the trial court will not be considered for the first time ‍​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‍on appeal. Dober v. Worrell, 401 So.2d 1322 (Fla. 1981).

AFFIRMED.
