If you are under 18 years old, please take a minute and read this. Before going further into ZARZAND, tag in with your parents. The truth is that regardless of how old you are, it’s possible that you haven’t lived long enough to be able to really and truly understand some of the topics discussed here. Without question, some of you will know more than your friends. Asking questions and becoming more educated is always good. Curiosity is perfectly fine, so our advice is to find a safe adult in your life and ask him or her to talk to you about what you’re reading here or any other place you’re getting information about sex, sexuality, the human body, or intimacy. Be careful about who you choose though. Hopefully it can be your mom or your dad but remember that other young adults and friends are in the same boat you are when it comes to this stuff.
If you read anything here that in any way makes you feel like someone in your life isn’t treating you safely or with respect in the world of sex or intimacy, please find a safe adult and share what’s made you feel that way. You can also call this phone number for help; it’s an abuse hotline: 1 800 422 4453. They know how to help kids in those situations.
