Why is this happening? He shows me he cares. I don’t feel alone anymore. My family is busy. They never have time for me. He is nice. My mama says he’s nice. Say thank you.
He understands. I feel safe with him but not as much now. Then he does that. It doesn’t feel right but I don’t know what to do. I trust him. He wouldn’t do something to hurt me. I must be wrong.
He is nice to me and all the kids like him. The grownups like him and say nice things about him. I must be wrong. I hope he doesn’t do that again. I don’t like it.
He did it again and now he wanted me to do things. I didn’t want to. He told me that I should do it if I care. I do care but I don’t want to do that. I told him I didn’t want to. We could hear the other kids and grownups coming back and he stopped and walked away.
He takes care of me and helps me when nobody else has time for me. The kids at school call me names and I feel bad. I don’t like being bullied. He makes me feel good except when he does that. I don’t like it. Maybe he won’t want to do that to me anymore.
I don’t know what to do. Should I tell someone? What if I’m wrong and all grownups who care about kids do this? I don’t want him to get mad. I want him to care about me. I don’t know what to do. My mama says he is good.
He told me that I should let him do that to me and so I did. It hurt me and I cried. He told me that it was part of growing up. He told me not to tell anyone. I didn’t.
If you think that things like this can’t happen in your world… think again.
