Eighteen And Under is a registered charity based in Dundee
that offers confidential support and information to any young
person, aged 18 and under, who has experienced sexual, physical
or emotional abuse.
Abuse
can take many forms, including sexual, emotional, physical,
neglect, bullying, racism and homophobia. If you are being
abused in any way at all you must realise that absolutely
no one has the right to hurt or frighten you,
no matter who they are.
If
you have been or are being abused and want
help to sort things out in your head, there
are places you can go. You have a right
to speak about what has happened to you and
be believed.
If
you feel able to talk to someone, and you do, you may be better
able to deal with your feelings or even get
help to stop the abuse.
If
you want to talk but feel you have no one to talk to, you
can talk privately and confidentially
to a worker at 18 & Under. We won’t
tell anyone unless you want us to or unless we are told about a serious crime or any child at risk Then we might have to talk to someone about it to get help.
