What is this information?
This information is for teenage girls who have been, or are going through incest, which is when a relative or someone you know touches your body in a sexual way.
If it makes you unhappy or uncomfortable this booklet is for you. It's about your feelings, how they affect your life, what is happening to you, or happened to you (no matter how long ago), drugs and alcohol, food, who to tell, pregnancy and leaving home.
It's about feeling better, and where you can get help.
Ideas for the booklet came from many girls and women who, like you, have been through incest. Some of us had no one to tell or to help us when we needed them. We don't want the same thing to happen to you.
It's not your fault!!!
