There are good touches and bad touches,
a good touch is when someone hugs you,
or shakes your hand, maybe pats you on the back,
a bad touch is if someone puts their hand down your pants,
or makes you touch that part of them,
it's very wrong for them to do that.
If an adult or someone much bigger than you,
tries to touch you in one of those places,
or asks you or forces you to touch them,
if you can push them away do it,
shout NO as loud as you can,
then find someone safe you can tell.
It may not be a stranger who tries this,
it may be someone in your family,
or someone you think is a friend,
the important thing to remember,
is that you can make it STOP,
and never let them hurt you again.
Your body is a special place,
that belongs only to you,
So have a go at saying NO,
and telling someone too.
