Telling your friends will not get you the help you need. This man will continue to sexually offend you until you speak out to people who can actually help you. Please tell your parents or another adult, perhaps a school counsellor or a trusted teacher. I also strongly suggest you contact ChildLine on 0800 1111. You can visit their website by copying & pasting the following URL into your browser: http://www.donthideit.com

Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

Don't be afraid to make yourself safe from the abuse of this cousin on you: Don't allow him to get away hurting you: making your life a misery: Build up your own self worth/esteem: You be in charge of your own life and destiny: Great Courtney2 you found Darlene's site: Don't just read her comment: Act on her loving encourageing words to you: Affirming words of you: She knows best and values each of her visitors individually so her words to you are sincere from a womans heart to a teenagers heart (yours) You are an intelligent teenager: you know that this fool is treating and abusing you unjustly: I would love to express ways of dealing with him, but thanks to Darlene I Respect your integrity and you'll do what you know to be right for you to do: Courtney I am sure you those friends you've told are true and trusted friends: Know you, value you, respect you for the loving young adolecent you are: Your friends will hold your hand and walk with you to tell an Adult, if it is your parents (good) but you must tell someone who will listen to you and advice you on the best way to rid yourself of him: Surround yourself with many of your own age group: There is safety in Numbers: Courtney 2 have a healthy mind in a healthy body: Be a team person taking part in sporting and cultural activities: If you do he will see you are isolating him from your life and you'll have the protection of your friends and team mates from him: Always believe in yourself: Be safe, Stay safe don't allow another abuse you ever:

I would call Child-help National Child Abuse Hotline 1-800-4-A-CHILD. They have skilled counselors and staff that could just listen or help you in any way you think needs to be done. Just get help, I'm 23 now and wish I would have told somebody, but even know people I have told think I'm lying. I hope this helps and good luck.

From Darlene - Webmaster: Anonymous, I know you want to help, but Courtney is from England, therefore the Child Help Hotline is not the number for her to call. I did provide her with the number for England.
