young people are often the target of their
attack. Some youths are assaulted by
stranger, others are attacked by a
neighbor. Many youths have been
molested by family member.
segxwal abuse at the hands of a neighbor,
friend or family member is disturbingly
common today. Today we live in critical
times. Many people lack "natural
affection," and it's common for girls (and
even boys) to be taken advantage of
segxwally. { 2 Timothy 3:1-3}
While no precaution guarantees your
safety, there is much you can do to protect
yourself. Consider the following tips:
1. Be alert.
As u walk outdoors, know what is
happening ahead of you, behind you and on
both sides. Some areas are know to be
dangerous, especially at night. To the
extent possible, either avoid those areas
or at least make sure u are not alone-
{Proverbs 27:12}
2. Don't send mixed messages.
Avoid flirting or dressing provocatively.
Such actions may send the message that
you're interested in getting physical-or at
least that you wouldn't object to it.- {1
Timothy 2:9, 10}
3. Talk about boundaries.
If you're dating, discuss with the other
person what conduct is and is not
appropriate. Once you have set
boundaries, do not put yourself in
compromising situations in which you
could be abuse. Some cases involve date
rape, in which a girl is either forced to have
sex or is drugged into compliance.
4. Be willing to speak up.
There's nothing wrong with firmly stating
"Don't do that!" or "Take you hand off
me!" Don't hold back out of fear that
you"ll lose your boyfriend. If he breaks up
with you over this issue, he's not worth
keeping! After all, you deserve a real man,
one who respects you body and your
principles.
5. Be cautious while online.
Never give out personal information. If you
receive a segxwally explicit message, usually
the best reply is 'no reply'.(of couse, this
advice also applies if a girl pressures a boy
for sex) A wall of silence renders most
online predators powerless.
Do you know....
In the united states, more than 90 percent
of juvenile victims of segxwal assault know
their attacter.
"IF YOU LOVE ME......"
One type of segxwal predator doesn't force
himself on girls but cleverly plays on their
emotions. How? By saying such things as,
Everyone else has sex," "No one will ever
find out," or, " lf you love me, you'll do
this." Don't be conned by a boy who tries
to make you believe that sex equals love.
The fact is, anyone who thinks that way is
only looking out for his own gratification.
He is not thinking of you or your welfare.
In contrast, a real man will put your
interests above his own and will show that
he has the strenght to uphokd God's moral
standards. {1 Corinthians 10:23} A real
man won't treat girls as sex objects.
Instead, he will view "younger women as
sisters with all chasteness."- 1 Timothy
5:1-2.
