Hey, that is not okay! What do I do when someone makes me uncomfortable?
Harassment • It is a big word • Basically, it means that someone is bothering you: • Over and over again or • In a serious way or • After you tell them you do not like it and ask them to stop
What does it mean? • NO ONE should touch you in your private body areas. • NO ONE should kiss or hug or touch you without your okay. • NO ONE should ask you to keep secrets from your parents. • NO ONE should show you pictures or tell you things that make you feel uncomfortable. • NO ONE should ask you to show them parts of your body or show you parts of their body.
NO ONE? Yes, no one. • Not other students • Not teachers • Not other kid’s parents • Not anybody who works for the school • Not family members • Not strangers • NO ONE
What Do I Do? • Get away from the person who is bothering you. • Find an adult you trust right away & tell them what happened. • Tell your parents what happened as soon as you get home.
But what if I am worried? • You are not in trouble when you tell • We want you to tell when something makes you feel creepy– no matter what the person who is bothering you says • It is our job to keep you safe • It is your parents’ job to keep you safe
If it makes you feel uncomfortable, it is not okay • It is against the school rules • It is against the law • There are people at the school who can help make sure it does not happen again. • There are people who can help: • Your teacher • Your school counselor • Your school nurse • Your principal
