HOW TO TELL
This is probably the hardest part. Once you pick the grown-up, just take a deep breath and tell them straight out. We know this part is scary, but it will be easier for you if you just tell them exactly what is 
happening. Don’t just hint at it. They may not get it. Say something like “Ms. Smith, I need to tell you what my Uncle Charlie did to me last night.” Or “Mom, you know how I never want to stay with that babysitter? Well I need to tell you why.”
It’s also a good idea to tell that grown-up about this website and ask them to come read the part for adults. Our pages will help them know what to do to help you. And one thing we REALLY want to tell you: If you tell a grown-up and they don’t believe you, or don’t help you, DON’T BE DISCOURAGED. PLEASE tell another grown-up. We suggest that if you tell a grown-up in your family and they don’t help you, then tell a teacher or your school nurse or your principal. Or you can always call the hotline 1-800-4-A-CHILD.
