  • “I think it is cool that [volunteers] use up their own time to come tell us about things. . . I think it could help a lot of people. And it gives you a reason not to say you didn’t know who to go to help you.”

  • “I think it’s good that [volunteers] are going to different schools and telling them about harassment. I hope they keep doing this program. They have helped a lot of people. I have learned that nobody should ever abuse or harass anybody because it’s wrong.”

  • “I think it’s radical . . . It could also change someone’s life and someone’s perspective about another person.”

  • “I think the program is good because it shows you when someone might be abused, assaulted, or even forced into something you might not want to do. I also think this program helps you to find help if you are abused.”

  • “It’s just good to know someone out there cares.”

  • “If [abuse] has happened to someone [the videos and discussion] will help them to see that some people do care.”

  • “I think Friends of the Family is so cool! It helps kids make good choices in life.”

  • “Friends of the Family helps kids see that they’re not alone, and that they have someone to turn to. . . I think teenagers should think before they do. [Many teens] just want to go back and do everything over and change so many things.”

  • “I think [these programs] are a way for [abusers] to realize they need help for doing that stuff. . . Over all I think [volunteers] are doing something good for our community and I respect them for that.”
