When the time comes.
I know it's scary when your young to stand up to anyone,
Please do not listen though when they say, it's not your fault in anyway.
Even if someone is older than you, there are always things that you can do,
Tell somebody who you can trust like the police or a friend.
If you think there is nobody you can tell,
You can tell anyone who is not hurting you,
Tell a neighbour, friend or family,
Keep telling till it stops and your safe.
When the time comes here's what to do,
Scream them to "STOP",
And until they do we're all here for you.

Very empowering to keep telling until someone listen. Now days with so much awarness many more adults are willing to act. Letting children know adults do thing that are wrong. It ok to protect their bodies and mind. It scary at any age to stand up to a bully who want their way. Thanks for such an empowering message. I was wondering what age group was your target.
