People who can help (India)

Trust and saying no

  • You are allowed to say no if something feels wrong — even to someone you know.
  • A good friend never asks you to do something that hurts you or someone else.
  • If you are not sure, ask a grown-up you trust before you do it.

People you don’t know

  • Never go anywhere with someone you don’t know, even if they offer a treat or say a parent sent them.
  • Make a family “safe word” that only your trusted grown-ups know.
  • Online, people are not always who they say they are.

Bullying

  • Bullying is when someone keeps being unkind on purpose. It is never your fault.
  • Stay calm, get away to somewhere safe, and tell a grown-up you trust.
  • If you see someone else being bullied, you can stand with them and tell a grown-up too.

Staying safe online

  • Never share your full name, school, address, phone number or photos with people online.
  • A safe friend never asks you to keep secrets from your family.
  • If a message makes you feel worried or strange, don’t reply — show a grown-up.
  • Messages saying you have won a prize, or asking for a password, are usually tricks.
