Smart ways to keep myself safe

August 26, 2015

A young adolescent once asked " Ma'am what if I was wrong about that uncle? What if he just meant to touch me as his child? What if …? I am too scared to tell anyone anything. What if nobody believes me? What if they ask me why I didn't tell earlier? What if they blame me? What if they laugh? Dear #Beautiful_Soul please remember #always- it is not about what their intention was. It is about how u felt; it is about your body; it is about your safety; it is about what you want to say & stop. It is not about them; it will never be. It doesn't matter who they are. If you feel uncomfortable with their touch , talk , look or any other behavior towards you. YOU have the RIGHT to say #NO , you must #GO away from the situation and definitely #TELL any trusted adult till they listen to you and take action.
