Someone is pressuring or controlling me
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, get emergency help right away.
Right now
- Make space when you can. Move toward other people or staff.
- You don't have to announce your plan.
- Bring in a safe adult or professional support.
Words you can use
“I've changed my mind.”
“They kept pressuring me after I tried to stop.”
“I need help leaving this.”
Who to bring in
- a safe adult
- someone you trust
- a counselor, teacher, coach, nurse or other professional
- another person, if the first one doesn't help
What to remember
Giving in under pressure is not the same as choosing freely.
