I am the main character of this story and my name is Lina. I have something to tell you. Are you curious about the story? Turn the pages and start reading!

I am a curious and affectionate 13 year old child. I love learning new things and enjoy interacting with people. However, sometimes I have difficulty understanding social rules. I need support, especially when it comes to personal space, touching, and boundaries.

Sometimes I don't understand social rules right away. I'm learning over time that I especially need to respect people's personal space. For example, when I'm really happy, I want to hug them right away, but not everyone is ready for that. Now I know how important it is to ask permission before touching. I still need support in these areas, but I'm very willing to learn and improve myself.

Sometimes i need a little help flguring out what feels right and what makes me feel safe.that’s why i created my own rules. I respect others’ privacy, and i ask that mine be respected as well.

Rules are like a gentle hug that help me feel stronger and safer every day.

One day, I was playing during recess, enjoying the sound of my friends' laughter. Suddenly, unfamiliar giggles surrounded me and someone grabbed my backpack, leaving me dazed.

I was very scared at that moment, but I remembered something I learned with my friends in class...
