Adam

My name is Adam. 

I go to work 
at my daily activity every day. 

Before, I had a friend 
who worked there too. 
Her name was Tina. 

We hung out during breaks. 
Sometimes she helped me 
with different things. 

One day, Tina 
sat really close to me on the couch. 

I thought she was sitting too close 
so I moved. 

After a while, 
she touched my thigh 
near my penis. 

I really didn’t like it. 

It was hard to speak up 
because she was my friend. 
I didn’t want her 
to get angry. 

I did not tell anyone 
about what happened. 

The staff at my home 
said I should invite Tina over 
for my birthday. 

I did not want to. 
The staff wondered why. 

They nagged me 
about how I should invite her. 

Finally, I started crying 
and told them what happened. 

I think someone on the staff 
talked to Tina after that. 
Because she did not touch me anymore. 

We are not friends anymore. 

You always have the right 
to say no 
if someone touches you 
against your will. 

If someone wants 
to touch you 
they have to check 
to make sure that you want that, too. 

This is called 
consent. 

You do not have to 
keep seeing 
someone who makes you 
feel bad. 

Tell someone 
you trust 
about what happened.
