If an adult in your life has been arrested for their sexual behaviour, it’s likely that you have lots of questions and worries running through your head. Sometimes young people can even feel responsible for what’s happened – but remember, it’s not your fault. You are not responsible for other people’s behaviour.
You may feel upset, angry or betrayed. You may also feel worried about the person who has been arrested or other people involved, and what might happen next. Juggling these feelings can be overwhelming.
There are lots of great techniques to help you cope with these feelings on our ‘managing difficult emotions’ page.
