Sometimes
abusers are really nice people that you know and trust.
Young
people can be abused by anyone such as family, babysitters,
relatives or neighbours, and many young people are abused
by their boy/girlfriends.
Most
abuse happens at home or in the home of the abuser and often
you can be too afraid to tell anyone what is happening. Even
if you do want to tell, you may not know who to trust, or
you may feel that you won’t be believed.
It
is important to remember that you belong to you, and no one
has the right to do anything to you that you don’t want.
If someone touches you, hits you or makes you unhappy then
it is abuse. It is their fault not yours.
