I would definitely say it is...If it makes you uncomfortable, if it feels wrong, if it's inappropriate and you don't give consent then yes...please protect yourself.

Any form of unwanted touching is considered sexual abuse. Do you feel unsafe or in need of help?

It depends where when and in what manner. It sounds like sexual abuse as you have put a label on it that you think matches. I recommend you ring a helpline and tell friends or family.

Yes this is abuse and you need to tell someone what's happening to you. No one should have to go through this.

It depends on where he is touching. If you feel uncomfortable then you should tell somebody you trust with this

depends on where exactly he touches you, but even if he touch your hand and you feel uncomfortable, talk to an adult, not necessarily your mother, maybe a teacher, counsellor, anyone, ASAP

I've never had to deal with this situation personally. This is sexual abuse. You must confront an adult that will protect you in such a sensitive case to deal with. Reaching out is hard many times because of embarrassment, but it is better to let someone know than to let it eat you alive.

It depends where, and how. Have you told him to stop touching you? Have you tried speaking with your mom or another trusted adult about this?

If he is touching you in inappropriate places then yes, it is sexual abuse. Please talk to someone about this!

Depends on which places. Like hugging/kissing. Dad's do that. But they should stop once you tell them that you don't like it - but when they are touching you in inappropriate places you need to search help ASAP.
