Some of my parts are private!
• Those are the parts covered by a bathing suit!

My private parts are private!
• People who are helping me with my personal care or health can touch my private parts if I say it is OK.
• Someday I might have a special boyfriend or girlfriend and then I might decide it is OK for him or her to touch my private parts.
• No matter what, no one can touch my private parts unless I say it is OK!

Good Touch, Bad Touch
Some touches feel good and some touches feel bad.

Secrets
Sometimes someone might tell me to keep a secret…
![Page 13: Safe Self. My Body Belongs to ME! People should ask to touch my body and I should ask to touch other people’s bodies! Can I fix your hair? Can I give.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f2f5503460f94c494db/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Good secrets are fun and feel nice to keep!
• A good secret might be a surprise party
• A good secret might be about a nice present for someone
• A good secret can even be about a silly joke
• It is OK to keep a good secret

I don’t have to keep any secret that feels bad!
• Any secret that does not feel good to keep is a bad secret!
• If the secret is about someone being hurt you should tell the secret!
• If it feels bad to keep the secret then you should tell!

What if some one tries to touch me in a bad way?
• I am allowed to say “NO!”• I am allowed to try to stop the person
– I can hit– I can kick– I can scream– I can bite– I can pinch
• I am allowed to do what ever it takes to make them stop touching or hurting me!

What if I can’t stop them?
• It is not your fault if you can’t stop them.
• It is not your fault if you are too scared to try to stop them.
• No matter what, if some one else touches you or hurts you, it is their fault!
• The important thing now is to get to a safe place and to tell.
