Your body belongs to you and no one but you!
It's your duty to protect it. That's why you try not to let other kids hurt you by fighting, kicking or things like that.
But fighting and kicking aren't the only things that the Alert Twins and our freinds protect our bodies from. We don't let anyone touch us in a way that feels uncomfortable, and that includes too much tickling, hugging ... anything we don't like. We say NO!
We've got a special rule, too. If anyone except your parents or doctor asks to see or touch the part of your body that your swimsuit covers, get away fast. Even if it's someone you like a lot, no one's got the right to do this, so tell your parent straight away.
The Alert Twins think bullies are a real pain.
So we've got some special tips to help you stop them acting like
that:
always tell a parent or other grown-up about bullies. They can help
you and your freinds.
if a bully bothers you at school, stick with your buddies and stay close to a teacher.
always say No! if a bully tries to make you give him or her something that belongs to you.
Be firm with bullies and they'll often back away!
