Janelle is 14-years-old and has gone out with Louis a few times. He's two years older, and doesn't go to school. They usually go to parties or see each other at the mall, but tonight is the first night they have gone out just the two of them. Louis borrowed a car and took her out to dinner. When they got in the car after dinner, Janelle said thanks for such a nice dinner. Louis kisses her and tells her, "Well, I hope you are planning on showing me how much you liked it." Janelle feels a little nervous with the way he is looking at her and talking. He suggests going back to his brother's house where they can be alone instead of going to the party they had planned to attend.
What should she do?
Just look at him and smile, saying she would like to go to the party first, and then the brother's house.
Decide to ignore her nervous feelings, probably just excitement being out alone with an older guy. Lean over and give him another kiss, saying whatever he wants is okay with her.
Say she would like to go to the party.
Janelle and Louis go to the party. Louis grabs two beers, hands one to Janelle, and puts his arm around her. Janelle decides to drink it as fast as she can, to help with her nervous feelings and to show Louis how cool and grown-up she is. After a couple of beers, Janelle feels a little funny and wants to sit down. Louis takes Janelle in an empty bedroom in the house, sits down on the bed with her, and begins to kiss her. After a few minutes, he pushes her back on the bed. She is worried about where this is headed, so tries to sit up and suggests they go back to the others. Louis pushes her back down roughly, rolls on top of her and says, "I've waited long enough. It's time you gave me what I want."
What should Janelle do?
Don't try to fight him. Maybe if she just kisses him for a few more minutes, that will satisfy him and she can leave.
Try to sit up again, say she wants it as much as he does, but she feels like she is going to throw up from the beer and needs to get to the bathroom.
Clearly say, "No, Louis, I don't want to lay down. I want to go back to the party." If he ignores her, say even louder, "No! Let me go!" and push him as hard as she can. If he continues, begin yelling louder and using fingernails, knees, and whatever else she can, to get away since she knows she has many friends at the party who will hear her.
