    Question

    A guy from my church, who is in my grade at school, tried to take my pants off twice. We were alone, and I have told some people. They told me to tell someone. I can't because the details are just too embarrassing. What should I do?

    Answer

    First, do not under any circumstances allow yourself to be alone with this boy! Second, you really do need to tell an adult that will do something about it -- a teacher, the principal, the school nurse, your minister or your doctor. Please do not let this scary thing happen to you or someone else again!
