More and more young people than ever are being targeted, befriended and groomed by people to have sex with them and their friends. Perhaps they’re even encouraging you to get drunk or take drugs.
You might even believe that you’re in a relationship with this person but over time you’ll come to see that you’re not. It’s all a scam. You’re being traded for their profit and pleasure, not yours.
They benefit big time from what you do for them but you suffer all the costs. Risks of pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, getting hurt.
And when you’re ready there’s help. In total confidence. You can call anonymously and start a conversation with people who can help you get out safely. People who understand exactly what you’re going through.
SafeCall is a free, confidential, anonymous helpline and support service for young people who are going through what you’re going through. It’s a safe space. They won’t judge you or tell you what to do. Instead they will listen to you, help you to understand your options, offer you advice and help you to be safe. You don’t have to tell them your name or anything about you.
You can also get advice without speaking to someone on SafeCall’s website.
