If you're a kid, and you're listening to this...or if you're a young person, a teen, heck—anyone at all and you're listening to this, I've got some things to say that you all need to hear! Your body belongs to you. Your body belongs to YOU. Say it once, twice, say it loud until you know it in your bones! Nobody can make you do something with your body that you don't want to do, nobody can touch your body anywhere, anytime if you don't want them to! It doesn't matter who it is, it doesn't matter what they say, it could be your mom or your dad, your sister or your brother, your uncle or your aunt, your pastor or another smiling lying false promising so-called trusted family member or friend—NO ONE is entitled to put their hands on YOUR body, and if for some reason they do? SCREAM tell everyone who will listen and everyone who won't! If they threaten to get you in trouble, they're lying—you didn't do anything wrong at all and they can't hurt your family, and you don't owe them anything no matter what they say, they're dishonest manipulating FREAKS and all you need to do is SCREAM, expose them, and there won't be a single thing they can do!
