Worried about yourself? Concerned about a friend?
Tell a trusted adult. Do it today – don’t wait. Who might be a trusted adult? Well, a parent is usually a great first choice. But if you think about it, we bet you can come up with plenty of other great ideas as well. A teacher, coach, or principal with whom you have a good relationship. A pastor, youth minister, or someone else from your church. How about an aunt or uncle? Just make sure it’s an adult that you trust – and be persistent. If your first choice doesn’t work out, try someone else.
