Q: I was walking home when a visiting neighbour asked me for sex. I am 17. I told him no. Should I tell my mother?
A: Let your mother know right away.
Q: My son shared with me his concern for the neighbour's daughter who comes home late daily. Should I share this information with her parents?
A: You must remember that you are to care for the children in your neighbourhood. Let the parents know of your concern.
Q A local businesswoman approached me and told me she would sponsor me if I delivered stuff around the city after school. She does not want me to tell anyone. I feel uncomfortable, What should I do?
A: Tell her no and let your guardians know of this proposition.
