Learning Objective

I can define consent and explain the importance of respecting and practicing personal boundaries.

  • 1

    Boundaries are the lines we draw for ourselves in terms of our level of comfort around others.

  • 2

    Consent means asking first and respecting the answer; it is part of everyday life, not just dating.

  • 3

    If someone says no, looks unsure, or appears uncomfortable, it means the answer is no, and you should respect their boundary.
