I appreciate you taking up this step, though I would suggest this is best addressed by your mother. However, since you have mentioned that she is the closest to you, I will guide you with a few brief steps. Firstly, it is very important for you to understand how much she actually knows, post that you can build upon what she needs to know. Find a quiet, comfortable place where she feels safe and relaxed. You can have child-friendly books or visual aids ready to help explain the concepts. Avoid using complex words; this would only confuse her. Explain first what good touches are, using examples like a hug from you or holding hands with a friend. Follow with what bad touches are, using clear and simple language. Emphasize that bad touches are those that make her feel uncomfortable or scared. Give her time to process the information and express her thoughts. Tell her to seek help if she ever feels scared or is encountered by a situation where she feels threatened. By following this sequence and approach, you can help your sister understand the concepts of good touch and bad touch in a way that is gentle, supportive, and empowering.

I am sorry that you have to go through this. As you mentioned that you have already tried on your own by both speaking to them and ignoring them but there has been no remorse, I feel that a situation like this would require external help. I would suggest you make one more effort in speaking to your teacher of the school/college where you study. Explain to them the gravity of the situation and how it has been affecting you mentally. If you feel that they are unable to take a stand, I would suggest that you inform your parents and let them have a word with the school authorities. Certain situations may be beyond your control and it is absolutely okay to take help for the same.

Dear Lucky, due to some “unnecessary issues” between you and your friends you feel left alone. Remember that God gave you loving parents and other family members in order to guide you in the best way. You should trust them and be guided by them, especially during your teenage years. Open up a dialogue with some friends who come to you for favours or help, without falling into “unnecessary issues”. Friendship is a give and take relationship. Be available to anyone who meets you and put on a smiling face. If you smile at others they will smile back at you and you can talk and share with them slowly building up a friendly relationship and avoid falling into depression.
